When deploying Full Service
Networks (FSNs) that offer end-to-end voice, data and video services,
carriers need solutions that give them the competitive edge. The
difference rests on reliability, availability, flexibility and quality of
service. MGW 5100, an integrated carrier grade TV streaming platform is
designed to meet the challenge.
MGW 5100 lets carriers stream top quality TV over broadband IP or ATM
networks such as xDSL, LMDS and FTTx. MGW 5100 is a multi-service platform
that encodes, transcodes, transmits and recasts up to 24 MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4 ISMA/WMT video channels at a time. An SNMP Element Management
System (EMS) offers provisioning, monitoring, alarming and control and
enables smooth integration into a variety of networks and access
management applications.
With MGW 5100, carriers get flexibility and stability in an integrated
carrier grade TV streaming platform that combines Optibase's vast
expertise in digital video, DVB encoding and streaming over IP/ATM
networks.
Main Benefits
- Full Service Range: MGW 5100 is a
complete solution for streaming media, with a single box offering live
video and DVB encoding, transcoding, and streaming over IP or ATM
networks.
- Flexibility: By combining I/O boards,
service boards and network interface cards (NICs) in a single chassis,
operators can optimize their range of service in a cost effective way.
- Carrier Grade Architecture: Provides
high availability, reliability and robustness with no single point of
failure.
- Central SNMP Management: An advanced and
flexible SNMP based management application enables smooth integration
into a centrally managed networking facility.
- Lower Operational Expenditure (OPEX):
With this integrated solution you'll need fewer boxes resulting in a
smaller Footprint, minimal inventory, less training and one management
system.
- Smooth Migration Options: A standard
reliable cPCI platform facilitates smooth expansion using standard
off-the-shelf hardware.
Main Features
- Streams 24 concurrent encoded channels
plus multiple DVB to IP converted program transport streams.
- Encodes MPEG-1, MPEG-2, WMT, MPEG-4 ISMA
- Transcodes 24 MPEG-2 sources to all
formats: MPEG-2, MPEG-1, WMT and MPEG-4 ISMA
- Converts MPEG-2 over DVB-ASI or DHEI to
MPEG-2 over IP
- Supports FTP, Unicast, Multicast and
Multi-unicast outputs
- Supports IP over Gigabit/100BT Ethernet
and IP over ATM (IpoA) OC-3/STM-1 interfaces
- Supports real-time upload to standard
video servers
- Carrier grade cPCI platform with
hot-swap, hot-insertion of all removable components and VxWorks
real-time OS
- Integrated solution with no single point
of failure
Main Applications
- TV broadcast over IP/ATM broadband
networks
- Video server upload for VOD services

MGW5100 Technical Specifications
Chassis Description
MGW 5100 consists of a standard 10U cPCI chassis with 17 slots at the
front and rear. The front slots house service boards that perform
processing operations such as encoding, while the rear slots house video I/O
boards. This hosting structure offers high flexibility and efficiency by
allowing service providers to optimize the mix of service and I/O boards
according to their solution needs. The MGW 5100 chassis and management
application offer redundancy for power supplies, fans, system control
boards and service boards.
