Cel The NETGATE proposal aims to design and develop a novel, low cost, flexible, highly efficient and scaleable system able to operate as a high performance protocol gateway, which will bridge the "compatibility" gap between different telecommunication networks such as SS7, IN, ATM, GSM, GPRS and also provide interfaces to IP based networks. The solution that NETGATE suggests will be able to provide interoperability between wireless platforms (GSM, GPRS) and wired platforms (ISDN, ATM, IP as well as an open architecture for future technologies. Moreover NETGATE solution is meant to be fully flexible, as it will provide a single node, which combines different interfaces and makes possible, through the adequate hardware and software components, the inter-working between various telecommunication protocol stacks.Objectives:To design and develop a novel, low cost, flexible, highly efficient and scaleable system able to operate as a high performance protocol gateway, which will bridge the "compatibility" gap between different telecommunication networks such as SS7, IN, ATM, GSM, GPRS and also provide interfaces to IP based networks. To provide a high performance protocol execution engine, which will be based on a robust run-time executive optimised for protocol execution. To provide generic protocol translation models for interworking between the different interfaces and resource management techniques based on standard technologies. To integrate different networking protocol stacks and interface with them in live networks. To provide instantiations of the NETGATE system as an GPRS support node combining the Server GPRS Support Node and the Gateway GPRS Support Node functionality and an enhanced VoIP (Voice over IP) gatekeeper. To assess the migration of telecom operators to the new types of services and networks.Work description:The project is organised in six (6) workpackages bringing the necessary partners and ingredients for assuring successful execution and accurate market orientation.The course by which the project will come to completion is by first defining the requirements of the system (WP2), which in turn will be used to define the specifications of the system.This will be achieved having scalability in mind for future modifications and extensions.The next stage (WP3, WP4) involves the detailed design and implementation of both the H/W and S/W subsystems, which includes the physical interface access boards, central protocol adaptation and advance interworking/switching unit, embedded software subsystem, system services and GPRS & VoIP applications.All the preceding steps converge with the integration of the subsystems to the NETGATE system (WP5). Functional tests and performance measurements will verify compliance to the original specifications. User tests along with optimisations will end with a complete system evaluation, after which the prototype form of NETGATE will be complete.The marketing assessment (WP6) will be performed at predefined points during the course of the project, but will also be an ongoing and continuously updated process, to compensate for changes in market needs as well as adopting new requirements as they develop.Milestones:T0+12 M1 - Mid-term assessment;T0+ 6 M2 - NETGATE Specification;T0+12 M3 - Manufactured H/W Subsystems Available for Debugging;T0+18 M4 - NETGATE S/W Platform and Applications;T0+20 M5 - NETGATE Prototype.The resulting NETGATE platform will be able to provide interoperability between wireless platforms (GSM, GPRS) and wired platforms (ISDN, ATM, IP) as well as an open architecture for future technologies.
