This chapter describes the general features of the CELLX Box and the main features

for VoIP, telephony, and mobile.

The CELLX Box is a media converter that facilitates the connection of voice over IP (VoIP) with

mobile networks. The connection to telephone equipment using FXS is optional. It converts

line-based transmission on mobile side to packet-based transmission in the IP network and

vice versa. Incoming traffic arrives at one CELLX Box, which routes the calls according to their

destination and attributes. Table 1.1 list the main variants of the CELLX Box.

The CELLX Box contains two Gigabyte Ethernet interfaces to the IP network.

1.2.1 CELLX Box last mile

The CELLX Box provides voice via the mobile network, which offers a reliable alternative to

traditional landline connections for voice connections. In rural areas with no landline avail-

able, all you need for immediate communication is an CELLX Box and mobile network cover-

age. The CELLX Box works as a gateway to the mobile interface for voice.

Figure 1.1 The CELLX Box in a last mile scenario

1.2.2 CELLX Box failover

The CELLX Box is used if the primary VoIP connection fails, in which case it routes outgoing

calls automatically via mobile networks. In this case the CELLX Box works as an mobile gate-

way that can augment landline connectivity with wireless connectivity to the mobile network.

In case of landline connectivity failure, the CELLX Box provides a backup solution to maintain

voice communications. The CELLX Box will route all outbound calls to the mobile network.

Inbound calls from the mobile network will be routed to the connected telephone equipment.
