Abstract:
A system for providing an interface for a call between a broadband system and a GR-303 system, the call having user communications and call signaling, the system comprising:a signaling processor adapted to process the call signaling to select a broadband connection for the call and to provide a control message that identifies the selected broadband connection; a converter adapted to receive the call signaling from the GR-303 system in a GR-303 format and to provide the call signaling to the signaling processor in a format processable by the signaling processor; an interworking unit adapted to receive user communications in a GR-303 format from the GR-303 system and to receive the control message from the signaling processor, to convert the user communications between the GR-303 format and a broadband format, and to transmit the user communications in the broadband format to the broadband system on the selected broadband connection identified in the control message; and a service platform in the broadband system adapted to receive the user communications and to process the user communications with a service application.
