Virtual SS7 to IP Signaling Gateway and STP for Legacy Network Interworking
Adax vGW Features and Benefits
• Virtualized solution for installation on datacenter rack mount servers
• High performance and guaranteed reliability
• Virtualized High-Availability options with no loss of service during switchover
• Can be configured as a Gateway STP
• Covers all legacy and SIGTRAN interworking requirements:
− T1/E1/J1 LSLs, Annex A HSLs, ATM T1/E1, OC3, OC12, GbE
− ANSI, ITU, UK, Chinese & Japanese national variants
− SIGTRAN M2UA, M2PA, M3UA and SUA
− SS7 GTT, SCCP, MTP3/b, MTP2/Annex A and ATM
− Signaling Interworking: SS7/IP, IP/IP or ATM-IP
• Unparalleled scalability and flexibility to protect investment in both Legacy and IP networks:
− Delivers the link density and throughput to enable service providers to manage the convergence and growth of their networks
− Enables service providers to maximize revenues and satisfy consumer demands for new services whilst maintaining traditional TDM signaling in the new IP networks
• One management interface for all configurations that are reconfigurable & re-deployable
Physical SS7 Link Concentration
The Adax SX provides a front-end to the Adax vGW for SS7 TDM T1/E1 links (DS0 and HSL) and can simplify SS7 LSL or HSL concentration by removing the burden of moving individual DS0s via drop-and insert on long-haul circuits. No additional point codes are required at the remote Signaling End Points and traffic between the SEPs and the STP can bypass the need for a cross-connect device.
