Project: ISDN PRA Migration:
Customer: Belgacom/Proximus
Period: October 2014 – June 2015
ISDN PRA on IMS MEDIAGATEWAY: An application designed to migrate the traditional ISDN
PRA (on EWSD and ALCATEL fixed voice switches) to PRA on IP Multimedia (IMS VOIP)
MGW in the framework of the Switching out phasing Program of Proximus.
The project provides a solution for migrating ISDN PRA towards PRA on IMS-MGW.
When a switch is out phased, ISDN PRA customer has to be migrated to IMS MGW. This
remove’s temporary migrations of ISDN PRAs towards another switch (until the other switch is
phased out, and so on). A new application is designed in Service Activation Layer (SALY) as
front end and Remote Ordering System (ROSY) as network provisioning back end. Application
take care of all aspects of existing features of customer and migrate the customer to new
platform. Customer will not see difference in service

PSTN technology few use cases are designed to migrate it to AGW. For ISDN technology few
use case are designed to migrate towards MGW solution. This application resulted as initiative
by proximus towards program called MANTRA (Migration and Network Transformation). Using
this application user will be able migrate existing customer of PSTN to new AGW (Access
GateWay) technology without having customer impact. This application also used to out phase
existing old switches and helps in building out phasing.
