Abstract

Systems and methods can include converting multi-channel circuit switched voice data to packet-switched voice over internet protocol (VoIP). A multi-channel connection originating from one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchanges can be terminated at a channel to packet gateway device. Call data originating from multiple customer premise equipment telephony devices can be received through the multi-channel connection associated with the one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchanges, and can be processed at the channel to packet gateway device responsive to call control instruction information. The payload data associated with the call data can be packaged according to predetermined packaging rules and transmitted according to VoIP.

Claims (20)

1. A method for converting circuit-switched voice traffic payload data from a multi-channel connection into packet-switched voice over internet protocol traffic, comprising:

terminating the multi-channel connection at a channel to packet gateway device, wherein the multi-channel connection originates from one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchange;

receiving call data originating from multiple customer premise equipment telephony devices through the multi-channel connection associated with the one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchanges;

processing multi-channel call data at the channel to packet gateway device according to call control instruction information;

packaging payload data from the multi-channel connection according to predetermined packaging rules; and

transmitting the payload data from the multi-channel connection according to a VoIP protocol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-channel connection comprises a multi-channel time division multiplexed data connection.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call control instruction information includes instruction on how to compress or decompress outgoing or incoming traffic respectively.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the voice traffic payload data is processed according to session initiation protocol call control instructions.

5. A system operable to terminate a multi-channel connection and converting information therefrom into packet data for communication over a network, comprising:

a network interface operable to provide an interface to a packet network;

a multi-channel interface operable to provide a multi-channel interface to one or more private branch exchange devices;

a call management module operable to perform call control operations on at least one channel of the plurality of channels and for performing configuration operations, the call management module being operatively coupled to the network interface and the multi-channel interface; and

a data processing module coupled to the call management module, the data processing module being operable to perform voice data processing to produce packetized call data based upon call control instruction information received via the multi-channel interface.

6. A method for converting circuit-switched voice traffic payload data from a multi-channel connection into packet-switched VoIP traffic, comprising:

terminating the multi-channel connection at a channel to packet gateway device, wherein the multi-channel connection originates from one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchanges;

receiving call data comprising call control instructions and payload data, the call data originating from multiple customer premise equipment telephony devices through the multi-channel connection associated with the one or more customer premise equipment private branch exchange;

processing call data at the channel to packet gateway device based upon call control instruction information;

packaging the payload data into call packets based upon predetermined packaging rules; and

transmitting the call packets based upon a VoIP protocol.
