OsmoMGW, the Osmocom Media Gateway, is a Media Gateway for handling user plane (voice) traffic in cellular networks.

OsmoMGW supports the IETF "MGCP":https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3435 (Media Gateway Control Protocol) for control from Call Agents, such as those present in [[OsmoBSC:]] and [[OsmoMSC:]].

At the moment (August 2022), OsmoMGW implements RTP proxy / RTP bridge type endpoints, to each of which two RTP connections can be established. It also implements RTP / E1 endpoints that allow bridging RTP voice streams to bit synchronous E1 lines. Since each codec uses a specific TRAU format, the codec support is currently limited to GSM-FR and GSM-EFR (16k I.460 subslot).

* conference endpoints

OsmoMGW is the generalized version of an earlier much more special-purpsoe implementation called osmo-bsc_mgcp.
