FCT - Fixed Cellular Terminals GSM Gateways / Premicells

Many companies are paying excessive prices for calls made from the office to mobile phones, any savings that have been made by traditional Least Cost Routing companies are being wiped out by the every increasing traffic to mobile phones.

The use of GSM Gateways or FCT units (previously known as premicells) connected to office telephone systems is enabling many companies to save upto 50% on the cost of calls to mobiles by using the tariffs easily available from the GSM mobile operators.

These devices range from single units capable of making a single call at a time through to ISDN30 / PRI units that will make 30 simultaneous calls.

GSM Gateway – CelluLine CGW-T at a Glance

Introducing the GSM Gateway – CelluLine CGW-T, a GSM cost reduction tool.

In a period, in which companies focus on cost reduction (without influencing the integrity of the company), the CelluLine CGW-T will play an important role. The unit directly connects your PBX to the GSM network, eliminating the excessive interconnection fees, thus cutting your telephone costs significantly.

The CGW-T is connected to the analog trunk interface of the PBX. The Automatic Route Select Table (ARS) in the PBX defines which calls will be automatically routed via the CGW-T to the pre-defined GSM network. In doing so, the CGW-T gateway reduces the company’s telephone costs.

Installation of the CGW-T does not require special skills. Simply insert the SIM card, connect the unit to the PBX trunk interface, attach the antenna and power supply and your CGW-T can immediately start saving money for you. The unit has an LCD display, which shows the GSM operator’s name, the signal strength and other useful call progress information.

A number of additional parameters for the CGW-T, such as Audio Volume Control, Conversation Time-Out and Restricted Digits, can be programmed via DTMF.

A compact 3U GSM gateway with a EuroISDN PRI interface, remote control and configuration options. The OS-free concept features a high system stability – the system is equipped with two Philips XAG46/30MHz processors that provide error-free operation, high speed and easy upgrade. The system design enables easy operation, configuration and replacement of defective components if any – it is composed of plug-in cards communicating with each other along a bus. The selected concept provides easy detection, automatic blocking and component replacement if necessary. Thanks to the above mentioned features, the system can be configured and installed easily and can be fully used in one hour!!!

Basic Features

Quick start - the system contains no operating system and is fully functional in several seconds after power on / reset (its full function depends on the current GSM network load).

Intelligent call processing - ATEUS-STARGATE is ready to route outgoing calls from ISDN to GSM networks and vice versa – from GSM networks back to the ISDN. A powerful Least Cost Routing function allowing to modify the number dialed helps you route outgoing calls as you wish. A transparent CLIP function plus the Voice message recording option together with the incoming DTMF enable you to connect incoming GSM calls comfortably.

Router/PBX/switch GSM module selection option - ATEUS - STARGATE allows you to enable the so-called locked channel mode – this function enables your router/PBX/switch to select the GSM module directly.

User friendly to GSM networks - ATEUS- STARGATE enables to disconnect automatically, upon a definable timeout, unused modules automatically, thus relieving GSM networks. In case the number of currently connected calls increases, ATEUS- STARGATE re-logs these GSM modules into the GSM network automatically.

High ASR - ATEUS- STARGATE receives an incoming ISDN call (setup message) just in case it is able to send the destination number successfully into the GSM network. This function allows, among others, to use another route for a call in the case of GSM network problems – not being able to serve an incoming call successfully, ATEUS-STARGATE rejects the ISDN connect request, i.e. allows your router/PBX/switch to connect the call using another device. The reason for rejection is sent together with the reject request automatically (defined causes in the reject message).

Detailed statistics - ATEUS-STARGATE automatically generates detailed statistic data on all incoming and outgoing calls.

Detailed CDR - having terminated a call (even a non-connected one), ATEUS- STARGATE automatically stores this call information into the memory. This information includes, among others, IMSI (SCID) of the SIM card through which the connection was made.

High traffic volume (over 500,000 minutes/month) - thanks to a very short time between the ISDN connect request (setup) and subsequent dialing into the GSM network, ATEUS- STARGATE helps achieve a very high traffic volume.

SMS - SMS send and receive options. The gateway allows to send SMS in the PDU format.

Up to 8 GSM groups - up to eight independent SIM card groups can be created in ATEUS-STARGATE, which are definable according to the ATEUS- STARGATE SIM position.

Up to 32 GSM channels - 1 to 16 independent GSM boards can be installed in ATEUS-STARGATE, each of which contains two GSM modules (Siemens TC35 or Ericsson GM47, GM48).

World-wide use - the modules used support ATEUS-STARGATE’s cooperation with GSM networks in 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz bandwidths.

Up to 128 (optionally 256) SIM cards - every GSM module can communicate with up to four SIM cards (one may be active only). SIM card switching can be programmed according to time, day in a week, called minutes, sent SMS or at random. An automatic detection of a defective SIM card and its exclusion from the active group is a matter of course.

2 antennas per 32 channels only***

Hot-swappable - all GSM boards can be hot-swapped. This function allows you to replace SIM cards immediately during the full ATEUS-STARGATE operation (as a matter of course, the use of the selected GSM board can be blocked temporarily to avoid interruption of current calls while removing the GSM board).

PRI ISDN interface - can be configured as NT or TE, with the Master or Slave synchronization option. Supporting standard for the euroISDN interface (Q.931-EDDS1).

Easy supervision and configuration - ATEUS- STARGATE can be configured and supervised (remotely or locally) using the following connections:

  • locally via an RS232 interface
  • ISDN (analog) modem connected to an RS232 interface. An automatic detection of the modem connection and thus automatic modem configuration are a matter of course.
  • 10baseT interface - TELNET, SSH*, SNMP* and HTTP* protocols.
  • Inband B-channel in PRI ISDN connection.

The system communicates using extended AT commands (like a modem). A comfortable configuration (completed in 30 minutes) and supervision are ensured by SW** specifically developed for ATEUS-STARGATE communication.

Simple error diagnostics - ATEUS-STARGATE informs visually (using LEDs on boards), textually (using the STARGATE program), or graphically (WEB interface) of the current status of all boards.

Easy update - since every product (including ATEUS- STARGATE) is subject to constant updating and upgrading, new firmware** versions can be loaded into the system remotely or locally within a few minutes! Moreover, your configurations remains unmodified.

Remote Control Unit (R.C.U.) - a 3U industrial PC version with Linux OS of RedHat 7.3 version – for a maximum stability and security – an integrated firewall. The device allows for remote supervision and configuration of ATEUS- STARGATEs connected via SNMP, SSH, WEB. It provides the option to send SNMP traps in the case of defined statuses (errors). A practically unlimited size for cdr and ISDN trace. This information can be carried to your PC easily using SSH or http protocols. A highly intelligent LCR installation option including number database (number transferability, blacklist)*. An option to send diagnostic SMS and E-mail ATEUS- STARGATE status information automatically.

* using R.C.U. only
** The updates of SW and firmware are provided free of charge.
