Application Scenarios

Huawei’s U1981 is a large-capacity voice gateway with carrier-grade reliability for large-sized voice communication scenarios. It provides a wide range of voice services and supports two-node cluster deployment and geographical redundancy

IPT application scenarios

U1981 core voice gateways provide call control services network-wide. The branches can use different model eSpace U1900 series gateways as local voice gateways. These local voice gateways support local regeneration to ensure service continuity.
Using narrow and broadband trunks, local voice gateways can connect to external networks, such as PSTN, to implement communication between internal and external (mobile and fixed-line) users. In those cases, SIP phones can connect directly. Analog phones and fax machines can connect through Integrated Access Devices (IADs).

IP Telephony Scenarios

UC application scenarios

Based on IPT application scenarios, UC application servers deploy at the same time to enrich communication channels and improve communication efficiency with a wide range of UC services. Services include presence, Instant Messaging (IM), and multimedia conferencing. In this case, the U1981 works as a core voice gateway.
