Adax Announces New High Performance Signaling Gateway Products; Future-Proof Signaling Gateway Platforms for IP Migration.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2003 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003 Adax, the Industry leader in high performance communications and signaling infrastructure, announced today at Supercomm in Atlanta a new high performance family of signaling gateway products. With the release of this new product line, Adax has doubled the link density, increased the throughput and improved reliability of the gateways. The new products achieve high data transfer with no loss of packets resulting in a true gateway solution of carrier grade 99.999% reliability for IP-based SS7 signaling. The signaling gateways enable the immediate IP migration of existing signaling points, regardless of network architecture and are fully interoperable with other gateways, Signal Transfer Points, databases and legacy PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. switches. These factors enable network scalability and flexibility, which are important parts of designing fully compatible, next generation IP-based systems. The Adax family of gateways for SS7 and IP switching, routing, tunneling and backhaul provide a cost-effective and high performance solution to quickly and efficiently interconnect the various network types. IP is becoming the worldwide choice for the high-speed telecommunications networks that are being built to meet the increasing demands of value-added functions and services. IP also reduces the cost of building the new infrastructure, but its adoption has resulted in the need to interconnect these new packet based networks, with traditional SS7 services. This has created the necessity for flexible SS7 over IP gateway solutions. The four Adax gateways have a common and field-upgradeable hardware platform. Adax provides an array of simple software upgrades, which provide a flexible migration path and the ability to interconnect with ay type of SS7 or IP network element. This ensures customers' equipment investment is a future-proof choice that will remain viable even as their network needs change. In addition to the signaling gateways, Adax SIGTRAN (SIGnaling TRANsport) An IP telephony protocol from the IETF that is used to transfer SS7 signals over IP networks. The telco switch sends SS7 signals to a signaling gateway (SG) that converts them into SIGTRAN packets, which travel over IP to the next signaling gateway or software for M2PA M2PA MTP2-User Peer-to-Peer Adaptation Layer M2PA Mtp2 Peer to Peer Adaptation Layer , M3UA M3UA MTP (Message Transfer Part) Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (IETF) M3UA Mtp3 User Adaptation and SCTP/T are available separately for customers who need to IP enable other SS7 nodes in the network for connection to the Adax signaling gateways. About Adax, Inc. For more than twenty years TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights. 2. , Adax has been the industry leader in high performance wide area communications and signaling infrastructure. From its Berkeley, California headquarters, Adax provides foundations for signaling networks in the form of protocol and network controller products and associated software. Adax's product set is based on open system standards, modular design and a common Application Program Interface (API). Using Adax products, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and integrators can quickly and efficiently build communications solutions for network convergence. With offices in the United States and the U.K., Adax products are the backbone of thousands of essential communications systems worldwide. Adax provides signaling solutions for the world's leading communications companies, including Lucent, Nortel, Ericsson, Alcatel, Hughes Software Systems Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS), previously known as Flextronics Software Systems Limited (FSS) now known as Aricent was incorporated in India on December 30, 1991 with Hughes Network Systems (HNS), a unit of Hughes Electronics Corporation (HUGHES), USA as its principal and Siemens. Typical application areas include Signaling, Voice over IP (VoIP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP (1) (Wireless Access Point) See access point. (2) (Wireless Application Protocol) A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. ) and Media Gateways; Gateway GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. Support Node (GGSN GGSN Gateway GPRS Serving/Support Node GGSN Gateway General Support Node (packet radio service) GGSN Gateway Gprs Support Node GGSN General Gprs Serving Node ) and Serving GPRS Support Notes (SGSN SGSN Serving GPRS Support Node ) nodes for GPRS and 3G; Intelligent Networks, Base Station Control; Billing Mediation. |
