TELES iGATE FCT User’s Guide 2

Overview
The iGATE FCT gateway enables direct connection of an
organization's internal telephony system to a commercial
cellular network via an existing Private Automatic Branch
Exchange (PABX) system.
The iGATE FCT interfaces with a regular two-wire ana-
logue line interface and a GSM cellular network to create
a cellular gateway. iGATE FCT operates via dual band
GSM cellular networks (900/1800MHz). A special version
operates at 900/1900MHz.
When the PABX supports Least Cost Routing (LCR), use
of the iGATE FCT is transparent. The PABX recognizes
iGATE FCT as a trunk interface and the routing is done in
the PABX itself. In a PABX that does not support LCR, the
user must select the proper trunk for the call.
The iGATE FCT can be used with a plain analog tele-
phone. In this case, when the hand-set is lifted, the
iGATE FCT sends a dial tone. This configuration can
replace a fixed line telephone.
The iGATE FCT can be used to send and receive SMS,
fax and data transmissions. These features are optional.
