HDCII-LPe (Low-Profile PCI Express)
Overview
The Low-Profile PCIe version of the highly successful
Adax HDCII SS7 controller is the first signaling card
to enable service providers, equipment manufacturers
and application developers to take advantage of the
new low cost, high performance servers for the industry
standard PCI-Express Low-Profile technology. The HDCII-LPe
delivers up to 124 MTP2 links or 4 HSLs per card. Specifically
designed for wireless, wireline and converging networks,
the HDCII excels at traditional SS7, providing a high
performance signaling solution for narrowband and SS7
applications. The HDCII provides one of the highest
densities available on the market today, making it
ideal for demanding telecommunications systems with
high capacity and throughput requirements. On-board
processors perform many thousands of transactions per
second, with minimal load on the host, maximizing the
performance of the applications for customers
without compromising reliability.
The HDCII-LPe is dynamically configurable and is capable
of delivering up to 128 channels of multiple protocols,
including SS7 MTP2, LAPB/D/V5, Frame Relay, X.25 and
HDLC per card. With the ability to install multiple
cards in a system, it provides a totally scalable,
flexible and cost-effective solution. The HDCII is
ideal for SGSN, GGSN, MSC, HLR/VLR and BSS nodes in
Next Generation Networks.
Features

Solaris X.86, Solaris SPARC and Linux as standard,
other Operating Systems on
request including HP-UX, VxWorks and IBM AIX
Application overview
The comprehensive design and powerful features of
the HDCII make it ideal for demanding, high-end signaling
server solutions for GSM, GPRS, and UMTS/3G networks.
Next Generation Network applications
The HDCII provides a high performance and cost-effective
single slot solution for SGSN and GGSNs, MSC, HLR/VLR
and BSS nodes in GPRS networks. For the Gb interface,
the HDCII can support simultaneous Frame Relay alongside
SS7 for the Gc/Gd/Gf/Gr and Gs interfaces. The HDCII
provides 128 DSO connections over 4 T1/E1 links per
slot, and multiple cards can support up to 2048 Frame
Relay channels and thousands of DLCIs per system. This
provides a completely scalable Gb interface solution
and enables large numbers of BSSs to be connected to
a single SGSN. For the SGSN, GGSN and MSC, where SS7
is also required the HDCII provides
up to 128 64 Kbps SS7 links or 4 HSL MTP2 links per
card.
The incredible density of the HDCII and its ability
to run high volumes of network traffic make it perfect
for narrowband signaling between 3G SGSNs and HLR/VLR
and MSCs in the Core Network. The very high density
(124 MTP2 links) of the HDCII card, coupled with its
superb performance for large numbers of small transactions
(as is common in Telecom transaction operations) means
that it is particularly appropriate for HLRs that need
to support an increasing number of subscribers.
Future proof Adax product family combination
The Adax HDCII is an entirely future proof solution
due to the commonality of the APIs between Adax software
products and customer applications. SS7- only solutions
can be quickly and easily IP-enabled, and can be easily
migrated to become a broadband SS7 or SS7/IP solutions
with minimal changes to the higher layers. This commonality
protects the customer’s investment in signaling
infrastructure and delivers a future proof solution.
