AdaxGW – Multi-Purpose Signaling Gateway

1U or 2U Rackmount System; cPCI, ATCA or proprietary blades; ProcessorAMC

The growing popularity of IP telecommunications networks has brought about the need to build new IP-based solutions that interoperate with existing infrastructure. New requirements encompass connecting IP-based or IP-enabled Media Gateways, Signaling Transfer Points, switches, databases and other Next Generation Signaling applications with legacy circuit switched signaling architecture. This need to interconnect different networks demands multi-protocol solutions that combine and connect divergent circuit and packet switching architectures. In addition, there are new possibilities for replacing expensive dedicated SS7 circuits with the more cost effective IP networks. The Adax Signaling Gateway (AdaxGW) addresses all of these requirements. The link density, scalability, flexibility, throughput and high performance of the AdaxGW enables operators to manage the convergence and growth of their networks, maximize revenues, satisfy consumer demands for new services and ultimately protect their investment in both traditional SS7 and new IP networks.

The AdaxGW
The AdaxGW is a single software image that can be configured and reconfigured to meet any signaling requirement. The AdaxGW is available on 1U and 2U rackmount systems, with support for SS7 LSLs, Annex A HSLs, ATM and Ethernet connections. Aswell as the rackmount option the AdaxGW software image can also be easily integrated to your platform of choice: cPCI, ATCA or proprietary blades, or a ProcessorAMC – this allows the AdaxGW to blend seamlessly into your application environment!

With options for SS7/IP switching, routing, tunneling and back-haul, the AdaxGW provides a simple and straightforward migration of existing SS7 nodes to IP transport.

The AdaxGW utilizes SIGTRAN protocols including M2PA, M2UA, M3UA and SUA to perform the SS7/IP and IP/IP translation function in different ways. The most appropriate Gateway configuration will depend on how you want your SS7 network to operate. Changing network configurations is not a problem. Via simple software upgrades and configurations the AdaxGW can meet the demands of your network, providing unparalleled flexibility and protecting your investments.
