Reliance Infocomm runs live traffic over 10 media gateways in New York, Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong, which land in Indian cities. With the new media gateway, it will be able to optimise its resources, getting more traffic for lower cost, due to the higher compression possible.

Reliance Infocomm has been using the media gateway, having finally cleared its acceptance, following comprehensive tests. Company officials said that while voice can be compressed to one-tenth, data can be compressed to just one-fourth. The media gateway identifies the traffic, whether it is voice or data, and compresses accordingly. The solution can be used for its domestic long distance traffic as well.
