R&S®GW5440 universal media gateway

Key Facts

Exchangeable interface and power card units
Independent modular rack design
Wide media and protocol support
Network and power redundancy
Hot-swap module exchange

Engineered for full modular flexibility

Accepting any combination of gateway interface cards places the R&S®GW5440 universal media gateway at the cutting edge of modular network gateways for ATC communications. The universal gateway combines the functions of three individual gateways and their protocol and interface connectivity. The R&S®GW5440 setups can be customized for a particular use case while leaving room for future adjustments. The same mix-and-match approach applies to power supply redundancy, since AC or DC power supply blocks can be arranged and hot-swapped as requirements change.

Features & benefits

Modular design

Flexible, customizable solution

The modular design of the R&S®GW5440 enables broad configurability as well as quick and easy repairs on the go. Designed as a completely modular system platform, it accommodates any combination of radio, VCS or telephony gateway cards backed up by a matching power supply module configuration. The design framework not only ensures an optimized solution for a given use case, but also retains maximal flexibility for future adjustments.

**Uncomplicated module replacement** - Have the R&S®GW5440 tailored to your specific network requirements. Leave your options open with minimal impact reconfiguration down the line.

Hot-swap module exchange

Independently interchangeable extension cards

A modular design is good, but an independent hot-swap module design is even better. The R&S®GW5440 has all you need. Change interface modules while the rest of the system remains 100 % operational. When reconfiguring your network topology or in the unlikely event of an extension card failure, module exchange is quick, cost-effective and isolated from the rest of the network.

**Hot-swap for both media and power modules** - Independent hot-swap module exchanges are vital to containing potential failures and limiting their impact, while keeping the overall setup running.

VCS in a box

A self-contained VCS system in a compact footprint

The R&S®GW5440 universal media gateway can easily double up as a self-contained miniature VCS system. The modular design enables it to serve as a common basis between different units. If configured with the individual modules required by a small-scale VCS system such as CPU, power supply and media and network interfaces, the R&S®GW5440 becomes a fully functional, all-in-one VCS setup.

**CWP command window** - Benefit from the R&S®GW5440 flexibility by using it as a self-contained VCS setup.

Centralized management

Intuitive configuration and smooth operation from central control center

All Rohde & Schwarz gateways offer uncomplicated remote configurations thanks to the R&S®VCMS system centralized management with remote central access to all device configuration and maintenance options. The gateways help improve overall communications system scalability for flexible and efficient implementation. The R&S®GW5440 integrates a broad scope of additional functions in the design language of the device ecosystem.
