Italtel iVLS is an alternative of PGW. Italtel works with Cisco from many years and it's controlled by Cisco for the 18,4%.
More info about iVLS in attached file.

Hey Sheeraz,
Yup PGW is going EOL as per the announcement but we got something new right now. PGW application is moving from SUN platform towards HUCS platform so i guess the show must go on
Where you got CVP, CUCM, PGW etc on a single hosted solution

The above link would give you a good idea.

Hi Aby,
This doc was written in August 2010 so i don;t think so there could be a new platform of PGW what i think HUCS would exist before with PGW option but as PGW is gonna EoL we'll not have it any more. Could you check this with Cisco directly.

Hello Sheeraz,
Well as of now officially PGW is EOL but since its going on the hucs platform, there are various internal talks that pgw would be enhanced to keep up the HUCS platform but we dont have an official word yet. Currently the latest patch for pgw is Version 9.8 (1) Patch 15 which would be in release next year.
As of now, the development team for pgw application hasnt given an official word for further developments. But there are clients opting for this solution and more clients are taking it up hence they would have to keep the software upto date.
So we can only wait and watch by july next year whats the scene for future for PGW application.
In short officially, its EOL/EOS by july 2012
Unofficially: Hmm there are chances this can go to the next level since its difficult for existing clients to move their softswitch to another vendor due to high business impact.
Cheers,
Aby

Sanjeev,
Seems like you are pitching hard for your product.
Sheeraz,
its confirmed that pgw would be there in a HUCS platform. Its cheaper than before since you just need to ask for the service.You dont have to buy the equipment like before which is more expensive and maintaining it. There would be someone to monitor and maintain the entire thing.
Its like cloud networking.. ask for the specific service and you get it
Get in touch with your accounts team or cisco sales team for more information.

Competing against Cisco needs real push
On a serious note, we have always provided our product all over the world but lately we've been getting more and more queries for replacing PGWs since the announcement of its EOL. So I thought I'll try to spread the word around that the replacement is readily available, cost-effective as well as proven, with deployments in more than 50 countries around the world.
If you need more information, I'm happy to provide.
