Adax Announces SS7 Support for Red Hat Linux 6.2.Business Editors BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001 Adax, Inc. a leader in signaling solutions for wireless and fixed networks worldwide, announces the addition of the Red Hat Linux Red Hat Linux, assembled by Red Hat, was a popular, "middle-aged" Linux distribution (not as old as Slackware but older than Ubuntu) upon its discontinuation in 2004.[1] Red Hat Linux 1.0 was released on November 3, 1994. 6.2 operating system to its portfolio of supported platforms. The first Adax product released for Linux 6.2, the MTP-2 Protocol Software operates with the APC (1) (American Power Conversion Corporation, West Kingston, RI, www.apcc.com) The leading manufacturer of UPS systems and surge suppressors, founded in 1981 by Rodger Dowdell, Neil Rasmussen and Emanual Landsman, three electronic power engineers who had worked at MIT. 7-cPCI/PCI, SS7 controller. Together, the board and driver provide high speed SS7 processing for T1, E1 and V.35 trunks. Two port and four port versions of the board are available. The addition of Linux 6.2 to the Adax portfolio recognizes the growing popularity of Linux as an operating system for the telephony industry. This is due to its low entry cost, scalability, operating stability, ease of customization, open source code and the LIS Streams capabilities, which all help lower the cost of ownership of the total system. Red Hat is the leader in development, deployment, and management of Linux and open source solutions and is ranked Number 193 on the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in North America. Adax solutions currently run under most UNIX operating systems, including Solaris for SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill (2.6-2.8) for 32 and 64 bit architectures, Solaris SPARC ft 1800, Solaris x86, HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. 10.20-11.0, AIX 4.X, and Unixware 7. "The SS7 product is just the first of many Adax products for Linux," said Barry Zuckerman, Ph.D., president of Adax. "In the future, we will be porting all of our products to Linux to diversify our product line. This will strengthen our competitive position in the marketplace and reach a new customer base with companies using the Linux operating system." Subsequent releases of Adax products ported to Linux that are currently planned will include Frame Relay, LAPB/D/V5.2, X.25 and the newest 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) board, which is capable of processing up to 32 SS7 links or 128 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. and PCM bearer channels. Links can be dynamically allocated and multiple protocols can be run in parallel. Adax "A-Streams" enables multiple protocols to be pushed down onto the on-board processor, reducing the host 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. utilization and dramatically improving overall system performance. In the future, the HDC board, along with the Adax ATM-OC3 board and Adax implementation of 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 running under Linux, will be the foundation for gateways and SIP servers providing convergence services to switch circuit networks (SCN), the Internet, wireless and virtual private networks (VPN). 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 premier telecom and datacom companies such as Lucent, Nortel, Ericsson, Vocalis, Alcatel, Hughes and Siemens. Their products (for SS7, ATM, X25, Frame Relay, HDLC, LAPB LAPB - Link Access Protocol Balanced , LAPD and LAPV5 technology) have been providing foundations for fixed and mobile networks all over the world.
