Abstract:
A telecommunications system that provides an interface between a broadband system and a GR-303 system for a telecommunications call, the telecommunications system comprising:a signaling processing system that is operational to process GR-303 signaling, to select a broadband connection for the call, and to provide a control message that identifies the selected broadband connection;a signaling interface that is operational to receive the GR-303 signaling from the GR-303 system and to provide the GR-303 signaling to the signaling processing system;a bearer interface that is operational to receive GR-303 communications from the GR-303 system and to receive the control message from the signaling processing system, wherein the bearer interface is also operational to convert the GR-303 communications into broadband communications and to transmit the broadband communications to the broadband system on the selected broadband connection based on the control message;links between the bearer interface, the signaling interface, and the signaling processing system that are operational to carry the GR-303 signaling and the control message.
