Adax and HSS Deliver Integrated SIGTRAN Solution; High Performance, Carrier-Grade Signaling Solution for M3UA and SCTP.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2002 Adax and 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 (HSS), two of the leading telecoms infrastructure companies, have collaborated to deliver an integrated 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 solution. This latest joint offering, HSS' latest SIGTRAN M3UA M3UA MTP (Message Transfer Part) Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (IETF) M3UA Mtp3 User Adaptation software stack integrated with Adax' SCTP/T signaling protocol, and HDC and ATM protocol controller cards, was demonstrated at the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. M3UA interop/ plug tests in Sophie Antipolis, France, 25th February - 1st March 2002. The companies will offer the integrated solution to manufacturers of signaling gateways, Voice over Packet technology and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. network infrastructure. As demonstrated in France, the solution meets and exceeds the functional, performance, carrier-grade and interoperability requirements necessary for next generation networks. The system complies with the latest M3UA version 10 definition, from RFC 2026, supporting socket APIs for rapid deployment of Adax' SCTP/T. Additional features of the solution include compliance with the latest MIB (1) (Management Information Base) The hierarchical database used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP) to describe the particular device being monitored. MIB objects are identified using ASN.1 syntax. See SNMP, RMON, OID and ASN.1. draft for easy manageability, support for various network configurations for Signaling Gateway (SG), Application Server Platform (ASP) and IP Security Platform (IPSP IPSP inhibitory postsynaptic potential. ) appearances, and implementation of all Redundancy Options defined by the protocol, including SG, ASP Active/Standby, Load Share and Broadcast schemes. Further, the HSS M3UA product provides stack level redundancy in both transparent and stable state update mode, enabling vendors to build Carrier Grade High Availability network solutions. "Hughes is one of the leading vendors of software for the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force SIGTRAN stacks," said Barry Zuckerman, Ph.D., president at Adax. "Integration with Adax' proven hardware and signaling protocols provides a carrier-grade implementation. This is another valuable, high performance building block for vendors looking to develop 3G solutions easily and rapidly."
