Conclusions
MGW commercially available from U2 release
onwards, smooth evolution path to upcoming
U releases.
Rel.99 & Rel.4 functionality in the same U5
release.
Same U5 release fulfills also the known
requirements for All-IP networks.
U5 release for commercial utilization, U5
brings some additional features.
