A telecommunications network () includes a gateway () receiving signaling information in a media gateway and call session control format from a Classsoftswitch (). The gateway () converts the media gateway and call session control format to a broadband loop emulation service signaling protocol for transfer to integrated access devices () at a customer premises () through a broadband loop emulation services network (). The gateway () also receives signal information in a broadband loop emulation service signaling protocol from the integrated access devices () through the broadband loop emulation services network (). The gateway () converts the broadband loop emulation service signaling protocol to the media gateway and call session control format for transfer to the Classsoftswitch (). The Classsoftswitch () places the media gateway and call session control format into a network signal format for transfer over a signaling network ().

System and method for interfacing between signaling protocols

A telecommunications network () includes a gateway () that receives signaling information in a message based signaling format from a Class 5 softswitch (). The gateway () also receives voice traffic over an inter-machine trunk from a public switched telephone network (). The gateway () places the voice traffic into data packets. The gateway () transfers the data packets and the signaling information to an Internet Protocol network (). The data packets and the signaling information may be transferred over a common physical link and over separate logical links.

System and method for interfacing signaling information and voice traffic

A gateway for communicating telecommunication information between a telecommunication network and customer premises equipment, includes a telecommunication interface, a management module, compression modules, and packetization modules. The telecommunication interface receives telecommunication information from the telecommunication network for communication to the customer premises equipment. The management module determines a bandwidth available to communicate the telecommunication information to the customer premises equipment and selects a compression algorithm according to the available bandwidth. The compression modules compress the telecommunication information using the selected compression algorithm, and the packetization modules generate data packets for communicating the telecommunication information.
