As the IP network is transforming to the intelligent carrier-class IP bearer network, edge devices on the core network are required to be intelligent. To be specific, edge devices on the core network are required to transform from IP packet forwarders to multi-service control gateways (MSCGs) to support services such as 3G, NGN, and IPTV.

ME60 Multiservice Control Gateway (hereinafter referred to as the ME60), as an MSCG developed to meet the requirement for transformation, ensures security, reliability, and QoS for various telecommunication services. Based on the ME60 and its solutions, carriers can construct an intelligent carrier-class IP bearer network, transform the IP network and shift the traditional telecommunication services to the new network.

The ME60 integrates user management, security control, and service control, which eliminates the defects of traditional routers and firewalls that cannot satisfy carrier-class requirements and provides user-level management and control. This greatly reduces operating expenditure and provides a platform for the operation of telecommunication services.
The ME60 implements user authentication, call control, policy control, QoS guarantee, and security guarantee over various services by associating the service layer with the bearer layer. The ME60 provides five models: ME60-8, ME60-16, ME60-X3, and ME60-X8, and ME60-X16.
