ADAX PARTNERS WITH FLEXTRONICS SOFTWARE SYSTEMS (FSS) TO DELIVER HIGHEST EVER PERFORMANCE THROUGHPUT ON INTEGRATED NEXGEN SS7 PLATFORM

Remarkable performance levels in excess of 95% sustained link utilization achieved on a single high density 124 link card

25th October 2006, Reading, UK- Adax Europe Ltd, the industry leader in high performance signaling infrastructure and Flextronics Software Systems (FSS), a global end-to-end communication solutions provider, today announced an integrated SS7 solution capable of sustained performance throughput at the critical, 1 erlang mark for a 124 link system. This is expected to address the capacity requirements of network equipment providers developing high capacity nodes such as SMSC, HLR etc and application developers introducing data intensive messaging applications.

The superior performance offered by the nexGen SS7 solution enables application developers to build VAS systems that can easily handle peaks in traffic load per link, triggered by situations such as partial link failure wherein available active links handle the extra traffic burden. Similarly, for messaging solution developers, nexGen SS7 offers pure capacity advantage enabling a much higher SMS/sec throughput and sustain high load over long periods. This is a clear winner in terms of TCO as it is able to deliver very high capacity on single server with a SS7 card which is equivalent of several servers with multiple cards from any alternate solution.

Speaking on the benefits of this alliance, Mr Suresh Kabra, Assistant Vice President, Products, Flextronics Software Systems, said, "The upsurge in messaging and prepaid applications has created the need for networks that can support heavy signaling at high rates. Our partnership with Adax constantly endeavors to raise the performance level of our solution and enable service providers to meet the ever growing demands with increased traffic”.

The nexGen SS7 platform comes pre-integrated with the HDC signaling card from Adax and it offers one of the best performance and unmatched scalability in the industry. It can be scaled up or down dynamically and can be configured to support 128 Self Point Codes and can scale from as low as 2 links to hundreds of links.

Commenting on the power of the FSS and Adax partnership, Robin Kent, Director, European Operations at Adax, said, “We are pleased to partner with FSS as they bring to the table tremendous value through their technological expertise in the communications space. This partnership has made Adax HDC card running on FSS’ SS7 and SS7 over IP platform, industry’s first with high capacity and throughput capabilities”.
