gateways

> BICC/CS2 (Q.1902.1 to 6; Q.1970; Q.1990) (with another Alcatel softswitch or any BICC/CS2-compliant softswitch)

> Preferred network signaling transport is TDM links connected to Alcatel 1000 MM E10’s core, either directly (associated mode) or through STP (quasi-associated mode)

> Network signaling transport over packet: • Circuit-emulation mechanism • External signaling gateways,

e.g., Alcatel 5023 RTG/RSG
