Adax, Inc. Announces Purchase Agreement With Santera Systems, Inc.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2001 Adax, Inc., the world's leading supplier of signaling controllers and software for telecommunication networks, has been awarded a contract by Santera san·te·ra n. A priestess of Santeria. [American Spanish, from Spanish, feminine of santero, cult priest; see santero.] Systems, Inc. to provide signaling solutions for Santera's Media Gateway Controller. Santera Systems, Inc., a pioneer in the development of next-generation switching products, is using Adax signaling solutions in its Media Gateway Controller to provide data, voice and media services. Each Santera Media Gateway Controller incorporates two Adax High Density Channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. (HDC (Hard Disk Controller) See disk controller. HDC - Disk Controller ) cards and performs essential signaling tasks ranging from platform and configuration control to call processing. Two of the applications in the MGC are the SS7 Signaling Gateway and the External Serial Gateway. Santera selected Adax to run the lower layers of the SS7 stack and X.25 in parallel because of the superior performance of the HDC solution in processing multiple protocols, dynamically allocated over 128 channels. With the processing of the MTP2 protocol "pushed down" to an on-board 233 MHz processor, the HDC board achieves efficient and fast SS7 processing with minimal overhead on the Gateway CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. . The HDC board is capable of handling up to 32 SS7 links or 128 channels of HDLC-type protocols, or a combination of SS7 and other protocols, running over four software-configurable T1 or E1 RJ45 network connectors. About Adax Adax was founded in Berkeley in 1982, to meet the communication needs of the emerging Open Systems marketplace. In order to meet the specific demands of the European market, Adax Europe was established in 1990. Adax provides signaling solutions for the world's top five telecom and datacom companies. Adax products (for SS7, ATM, X25, Frame Relay, HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. , LAPB LAPB - Link Access Protocol Balanced , LAPD 1.
