- TelcoBridges has achieved certification of its Tmedia media gateway software for integration with Metaswitch's CFS session border controller software, making Tmedia the only certified media gateway partner. - Tmedia for Metaswitch is now available and can be purchased as a software upgrade for existing Tmedia gateways or as a factory integrated solution. It offers features comparable to Metaswitch's UMG gateway. - Migrating from a Metaswitch gateway like UMG to Tmedia for Metaswitch can be done in steps, starting with adding a Tmedia gateway controlled by CFS while the trunks remain on the UMG, then moving trunks over incrementally until the UMG is retired

HKT Case Study
Summary:
• HKT is one of the largest Telecommunications
Service Provider in Hong Kong
• Aging TDM equipment was becoming difficult to maintain with spare parts becoming
scarce
• Upgrade plan required high-reliability and must be transparent to end-customers
• Replaced TDM switches with combination of Metaswitch CFS and TelcoBridges
Tmedia Gateways
• Customization work reduced complexity and improved reliability
• New platform is easier to maintain and manage, offering new IP-based services
• Reduction in power usage will save over $2 million/year and earn green awards

TelcoBridges End-of-Life Policy
• TelcoBridges has made it a policy not to End-of-Life (EOL) its products.
• To date, TelcoBridges has never yet discontinued any of its products.
• The company continues to support all of the telecom equipment it has
sold since it was founded in 2002.

can also commit to a no-EOL policy.
• TelcoBridges takes care to craft long-term supply agreements with its
suppliers so that it can avoid circumstances that might result in EOL
announcements.
• However, if such a situation should arise, the company has developed a
generous EOL plan that guides its customers through a transition from
their legacy equipment to new devices.
