Dear Paul,
An offical new annex-j for h.246 has been opened, proposed by Intel. Which is Interworking H.323 terminals with the legacy GSM and ANSI wireless networks. What this is proposing is a (MSC+VLR) Gateway that provides H.323 access to the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). All the voice and supplementary services will still be provided by the Legacy MSCs. And the data services only by H.323. APC 1671 "H.323 with USIM and PLMN Interworking" and APC 1672 "User Mobility and Service Mobility Services for Wireless Subscribers with H.323 terminals accessing MM over IP and PLMN Networks"
Question:
Does Intel foresee the same concepts, that is using an adjunct (swithed/IP) Gateway used with the legacy Class-5 switches PSTN? to support H.323 terminals on Class 5 switches?
Thanks, Edgar Martinez
