Alcatel PW3N-OVGA100N

The PW3N-OVGA100N stands apart in the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise ecosystem by consolidating voice gateway duties into a single, chassis-powered circuit board. Rather than relying on external appliances, this module slots directly into the communication server, giving enterprises a tidy path to VoIP connectivity with carrier-grade reliability.

Highlights

• Native VoIP gateway for OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server
• Dual call control via H.323 and SIP for flexible trunking
• G.711, G.729a/b, and G.723.1 codec support with G.168 echo cancellation
• Built-in T.38 fax over IP and DTMF detection/generation
• Centralized management through OmniPCX Enterprise tools

In daily use

Once seated in its designated chassis slot, the module draws power directly from the OmniPCX Enterprise backplane, eliminating extra cabling. Network administrators can configure DiffServ QoS policies to prioritize voice traffic across the LAN or WAN, while the embedded Ethernet interface handles signaling and media streams. For fax-heavy departments, T.38 support ensures reliable document transmission over IP, and the G.168-compliant echo canceller keeps conversations clear even on long-haul links.
