8                     SMG digital gateway 
1  DEVICE DESCRIPTION 
1.1  Purpose 
The SMG trunk gateway is designed to interface signalling, PSTN (E1) media streams, and VoIP networks. 
SMG  is  an  optimal  and  robust  solution  that  can  be  used  to  upgrade,  develop,  and  migrate 
telecommunication infrastructures from PSTN to NGN.
