Introduction
1.1
Overview
CGW-PX provides a quad centric connection in one high performance appliance, offering direct routing
between VoIP and GSM/CDMA networks through the PRI connection.
The new CGW-PX converged connectivity solution combines the features and benefits of Cellular and VoIP
networks, while enabling seamless communication in both environments. VoIP network is the optimal
solution for companies with worldwide activities and geographically dispersed branches.
The main objective of the cellular gateway is to perform the following tasks:
Expand your business mobility
Reduce daily calling costs
Support business continuity
Achieve boundless connectivity
Provide cellular communication where land communication (PSTN) is unavailable
The CGW-PX is a Cellular and VoIP gateway that provides flexible integration connectivity between three
communication networks: fixed office exchange (PBX), cellular networks and VoIP.
CGW-PX connection architecture enables to connect a gateway to the PBX PRI interface and create
conditions for integration with the available cellular and VoIP networks, as displayed in Figure 1-1.

By establishing a connection directly with the cellular operator, the user by-passes the high costs of internetnetwork connections (PSTN Cellular; VoIP Cellular). CGW-PX can be integrated with the fixed
office exchange using a PRI interface with traditional signaling. It provides call management for releasing
outgoing and incoming calls to and from the PBX internal extensions. For this purpose the CGW-PX gateway
includes a PRI trunks module, which can be easily adjusted by the system administrator and adapted to the
existing office PBX PRI interface. CGW-PX enables to route outgoing internal office PBX extension calls to
the required cellular network. It enables to route incoming cellular network calls to the required PBX
extension. CGW-PX functionality is based on the PBX switch, where each call request can be handled
according to user-defined rules.
CGW-PX is an integrated solution combining the proven capabilities of the GSM Cellular Gateway CGW-P
with a powerful internal VoIP Gateway. This solution offers a quadric centric connection from fixed to mobile
and to IP via the office PBX. These powerful capabilities enable companies to save substantially on business
communication costs while improving productivity.
Adding the CGW-PX to the telecom network allows employees to make VoIP calls from their mobile phones
and calls from an office extension to mobile phones or VoIP calls. Any combination in any direction is
possible with one integrated solution the CGW-PX.

In addition, this converged connectivity provides not only a cost saving solution, but it also represents the
most efficient way to maximize the network communication resources:
Assorted business applications
Cost-effective telephone connection
Fast ROI
Enhanced productivity
Competitive differentiation
It is possible to integrate the CGW-PX gateway with one or multiple cellular networks through a registration
procedure and establish outgoing and incoming connections using call proceeding procedures. For this
purpose, CGW-PX includes cellular modules equipped with cellular engines that operate according to an
internal firmware algorithm.
When establishing an outgoing or incoming connection, the CGW-PX serves as a functional communication
part, which provides the required signaling to the PBX PRI side and cellular network side.
Figure 1-2 displays an example of the outgoing call and CGW-PX functionality.

The voice quality of the CGW-PX depends highly on the reception level; the better the reception level, the
better the voice quality.
To ensure you have the highest possible reception, consider the following guidelines:
If your CGW-PX has more than four channels (two cellular cards), it is recommended that you use an
antenna combiner. Using an antenna combiner will reduce reception interruptions, requires less cable
and mounting space and is easier to install and maintain. The system is supplied with a directional
antenna, but also supports Yagi antennas.
Place the antenna at a location in a way that there will be no reflection from surrounding objects, such
as walls, buildings, hedges, etc. If the cable length is insufficient, replace the antenna with one of
higher gain, or replace the cable to a longer cable with less redundancy (such as LMR400). Check the
reception level on the Monitoring screen (see Chapter 6). For adequate performance, ensure that
reception level is at least -80 dBm.
When using more than one antenna, make sure they are more than 19" apart.
Place the antenna vertically on a rectangle metal plate, the dimensions of which are at least 20X30
centimeters, or alternatively use a 19" metal cube and install up to 5 antennas on each facet (see
Figure 2-12).

The system supports number portability. Due to the concept of number portability, where a client retains the
same cellular number while changing to a different service provider, the previous method of using the prefix
as a call identifier is no longer feasible.
Therefore, in order to provide least cost routing, the system checks the cellular service provider identity by
means of submitting queries to either an external LAN server linked to a cellular provider data or a bridge
connected to a server with the required data. The data calls over the external bridge do not occupy the
system channels.
To define the number portability settings, select SystemNumber Portability. Number Portability screen
opens (Figure 4-22). Choose the location for the submission of the queries (either to an external LAN server
or a cellular bridge).
