Adax Announces Participation in SCTP and M3UA Interoperability Bake-Offs.Business Editors & Technology Writers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001 Supercomm--In April and May 2001, Adax participated in two interoperability Bake-Offs that marked important milestones in the development of Adax's Convergence Signaling Solutions. In April, Adax's SCTP (1) (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) An alternative to TCP that supports multiple transmission paths. Designed to facilitate SS7 signaling over TCP/IP, SCTP supports multiple IP addresses from the same host (multihomed host) and treats the data implementation, SCTP/T(TM), was tested at the IETF-SCTP bake-off in Nice, France and successfully interoperated with other leading telco companies' SCTP offerings. In May, the Adax-Hughes M3UA-SCTP/T(TM) integrated solution was tested in Madrid, Spain and again, successfully interoperated with those offered by other participants. SCTP is the latest Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the (IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force ) defined protocol designed to provide the same signaling quality and integrity to Internet and VPN services that we have come to know with the traditional 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. . Adax SCTP/T(TM) not only fully meets the IETF Standards, it provides telephony profile enhancements of standard specifications in terms of heartbeat monitoring, error detection and link recovery. While error detection is 10 times faster than the Standard recommends, heartbeat intervals can be set to 60 times more frequent than is recommended. Two other distinguishing features of Adax SCTP/T(TM) are low host-CPU usage and higher transaction rates. In the interoperability testing, while other reference systems completely utilized their host-CPU capacity, the Adax machine was usually only 5% utilized, leaving ample 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. space for the processing of upper-layer applications. With Adax SCTP/T(TM) being deployed on our highly successful HDC and ATM cards, Adax provides powerful, flexible and fully integrated signaling solutions for Convergence networks. About Adax Adax was founded in Berkeley, California 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 and LAPV5 technology) have been providing foundations for fixed and mobile networks all over the world.
