    The TANDBERG 3G Gateways enable sites on IP and UMTS Handsets to participate in meetings with each other with the quality and reliability found in all TANDBERG equipment. A 3G Gateway can operate either standalone or in tandem operation with a TANDBERG Video Portal. In the latter case the 3G Gateway needs to register itself with the respective Video Portal, which opens up a wide range of interactive video and call routing services.
  • Page 9 Up to 120 video sites can be connected at the same time. Call rate of 64 Kbit on ISDN side and 109kbps on IP side for each call is supported through the 3G Gateway. Video IVR Selecting IP endpoint from address book. TANDBERG 3G Gateway User Manual...
