The Opportunity
Many people now have 3G video phones: the 3G video market is
growing rapidly and offers users a wide range of applications not
possible before with 2G technology. One such application which
opens up a whole host of exciting possibilities is the ability to integrate
3G handsets with H.323 and H.320 video conferencing networks.
Examples of what is possible include:
1. Salesmen can still join a conference call while “on the road” –
receiving and contributing video from their 3G handsets.
2. People who are working from home but do not have the
bandwidth for traditional video conferencing can use their 3G
phone to call:
a. Point-to-point to H.323 or H.320 endpoints
b. Conferences that include H323, H320 and 3G callers
6. 3G handsets can connect to a conference and receive presentation slides etc. sent via a data video
channel routed to their handset.
7. Mobile users can use an IVR (Interactive Voice Response menu) to join conferences.
The Solution
A 3G gateway is needed in order to be able to integrate 3G devices into standards-based H.320/H.323 video
conferences. The 3G gateway provides translation between the circuit-switched 3G mobile network and IP
packet-based network, enabling the 3G devices and IP endpoints to communicate.
Codian recommends the class-leading DyLogic Gateway (part number PSE.3GGW) to complement Codian’s
H.323 and H.320 video conferencing infrastructure.
Codian and DyLogic have conducted extensive testing to ensure interoperability between their equipment and
other vendors’ H.323, H.320 standards-based equipment and a wide range of 3G handsets.
The diagram below shows an enterprise-level solution using Codian equipment together with the DyLogic
PSE.3GGW 3G Gateway.
Equally, the DyLogic Gateway has unparalleled ease of use and maintenance. It can be used with BRIs or PRIs,
with or without gatekeepers, is compact in size (1U) and has customizable IVRs.
1. 3G handsets can join multipoint calls using the Codian IVR menu that they are already familiar with.
2. After a call is established, each 3G user can choose their own layout using their keypad. They can
choose both the layout they want to see and who they want to see within the layout.
3. 3G users can call H.323 or H.320 endpoints directly — or by using an IVR.
4. H.323 or H.320 callers can call 3G endpoints directly — or by using an IVR.
5. Conferences can be created from 3G phones. H.323, H.320 and 3G callers can join a conference with
no additional setup.
6. 3G callers can call the Codian IP VCR and leave recording or watch back presentations.
7. Codian’s and DyLogic’s equipment is endpoint agnostic – it has been tested to work with equipment
from all manufactures – often better than with other manufacturers’ own equipment.
8. Using Codian and DyLogic together ensures that equipment from all video conferencing vendors and
3G handset vendors can all communicate within the same conference without any loss of functionality.
