Interface speeds switch to GPRS
Adax and Hughes Software Systems have a pre-integrated solution crucial to infrastructure developers suffering pressures to roll out new GPRS/UMTS networks, services and revenue streams.
The Sigtran software allows customers to IP enable any SS7 node in the network, increasing bandwidth whilst, maximising the investment in, and value of, legacy equipment.
IP is becoming the choice for the high-speed, cost-effective telecommunications networks created to meet the increasing demand for value-added functions and services.
Sigtran is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for transporting message based PSTN SS7 traffic over IP networks and defines a modular structure that uses a common, reliable transport protocol (SCTP) and provides the definition of adaptation modules for different PSTN control protocols.
The Sigtran software from Adax meets the new demands of IP while preserving the investments already made in SS7 upper layer applications.
The software delivers optimum usage of high-bandwidth data links and is backward compatible with legacy SS7 software running over the Adax SS7 board and driver.
This combination maximises performance of the solution without increasing development costs, thus protecting the customers' valuable investment in the application.
The availability of the Sigtran software expands the capability of Adax to provide end-to-end solutions across different network types.
Coupled with Adax communications controllers and other protocol software they can be used as a building block in a softswitch, signalling gateway or media gateway controller in the VoIP domain.
The Adax controllers provide 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports for interfacing to IP networks, in addition to T1/E1 and OC3/STM-1 interfaces for narrowband and broadband networks, respectively.
The Adax Sigtran products are also used within the Adax signalling gateways for switching, routing, tunnelling and backhaul of SS7 over IP.
