media gateway controller
Last modified: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 

Abbreviated as MGC, media gateway controller is a system used in some VoIP architectures. MGC handles the registration and management of resources at the media gateway. A media gateway controller exchanges messages with central office switches via a signaling gateway. A media gateway controller is sometimes called a call agent, call controller, or softswitch.
