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.
It offers low power consumption that reduces heat emissions and enables many boards to be installed in one system.
This provides infrastructure developers with the high density and scalability they require for next generation network nodes that most other SBC signalling products cannot achieve.
Together with Adax PMC cards and software modules, the SBC-915X provides a single solution that can support all protocols for narrowband, broadband and IP signalling across T1/E1, OC3/STM-1 and Ethernet interfaces.
The board is ideal for applications where large volumes of traffic need to be supported with a completely scalable solution that can grow along with the demands of the network.
Typical applications include basestation controllers, radio network controllers, mobile switching centres, HLR/VLRs, STPs, signalling gateways and soft switches.
By mounting one or two Adax PMC modules onto the SBC-915X, the single slot solution can be configured as a cost-effective CompactPCI signalling blade for SS7, ATM, Sigtran or SS7/IP signalling.
The board can also be configured as an SS7/IP signalling gateway that offers a reliable and highly cost-effective price/performance architecture for infrastructure developers.
The SBC-915X is entirely futureproof due to the commonality of the API between Adax software products and customer applications.
SS7-only solutions can be quickly and easily IP enabled and a narrowband SS7/IP solution is easily migrated to broadband with minimal changes to the higher layers.
This protects a customer's signalling infrastructure investment as the demands of the network change.
