Gateway to the Future:
SS7 over IP Signaling in Converging Networks

On March 10, 1876, it’s doubtful that Alexander Graham Bell imagined what would become of the technology he had perfected; wires across the ocean, wires around the world, and signals bouncing off satellites. Communication by voice, video, and text is available nearly everywhere, all the time. Nearly.

To progress from nearly to always, one must understand the meaning of “convergence” in today’s communications networks...more

IP Signaling Infrastructures: What can David learn from Goliath?

The telco signaling world will eventually be IP-networked, but there are major questions over how, or even if, this can be achieved effectively.

Robin Kent, director of European Operations at signaling gateway & solutions provider Adax, believes smaller wireless operators and Multi-Vendor Network Operators (MVNOs) must start to learn from their more progressive wireline counterparts - many of whom have already taken sizeable steps toward an entirely IP based infrastructure - or face the consequences. Unless they act now, infrastructure costs will rise, revenue opportunities will diminish or be missed and their days will be numbered...more

MVNOs warned: Slow Moving IP Migration will Miss ‘Killer’ Revenue Opportunities

Some network operators will have to play catch-up because they are yet to realise the true potential of IP infrastructures...more

“The one constant in life is change”
Migrating from SS7 to IP means keeping your options open

When the IP revolution kicked off over five years ago it took the telecommunications world by storm. Some Operators acted quickly to ensure legacy SS7 networks could interface with the new arrival, but this was the extent of their preparations for the future, and many did nothing.

Five years on and the lack of preparation continues to haunt them and now it could cost them. Contrary to predictions, IP...more

TO IP OR NOT TO IP……..?

There is no doubt that the whole telco world will eventually be IP-networked, but getting to that point requires complete migration from current SS7 infrastructure - a gradual transition which cannot be achieved overnight.

Despite this, some smaller operators are trying to embark on this migration in one giant leap, whilst others only have plans in place to IP-network part of their global infrastructure...more
