Trillium Announces Industry's First Interworking Call Control Source Code Software Connecting Diverse Technologies.ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998--Trillium Digital Systems, Inc., a leading provider of communications software (communications, software) communications software - Application programs, operating system components, and probably firmware, forming part of a communication system. These different software components might be classified according to the functions within the Open Systems solutions, today announces the industry's first Interworking (standard) interworking - Systems or components, possibly from different origins, working together to perform some task. Interworking depends crucially on standards to define the interfaces between the components. Call Control (ICC ICC See: International Chamber of Commerce ) source code software. Trillium's ICC software will enable computer and communications equipment manufacturers to develop products for the rapidly converging voice and data networks. Trillium's ICC software is based on its Broadband Call Control (BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) The field in an e-mail header that names additional recipients for the message. It is similar to carbon copy (cc), but the names do not appear in the recipient's message. Not all e-mail systems support the bcc feature. See fcc. ) software, which has been proven in public carrier field trials. The convergence of voice and data networks is creating an unprecedented need for interworking among diverse technologies based on different protocol standards. The ability to use a high-speed backbone within a narrowband Public Switched Telephone Network (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. ) requires narrowband-to-broadband interworking. Similarly, the ability to use an Internet Protocol (IP) telephony device to communicate with a wireless or wireline telephone requires interworking, for example, between H.323 and SS7 or Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. ) protocols. Trillium Chief Technology Officer Larisa Chistyakov said, "Carriers and service providers must use interworking equipment to meet the demands of the market as technologies converge. Trillium, with the broadest range of products in the industry, already provides proven interworking solutions for Frame Relay-to-ATM, IP-to-ATM and narrowband-to-broadband. Equipment manufacturers have used our standards-based software for the past decade to quickly develop products from gateways to carrier switches. We're pleased to offer our customers another industry first with our new ICC software, which provides an extensible framework for the next generation of interworking products." About Trillium's ICC Product Available this July, Trillium's Interworking Call Control software builds on its field-proven BCC software. The ICC software has a flexible framework to provide switching call control and interworking functions for SS7, ATM, V5, ISDN, IP and other technologies. For systems that require very high performance, Trillium's ICC software can be distributed across multiple processors. Trillium's ICC software provides an interface to resource management, routing (including Private Network-to-Network Interface), and switching fabric functions. Delivered as source code software, Trillium's ICC software enables equipment manufacturers to quickly develop, deploy and enhance multiple interworking solutions in a single, integrated product. Trillium's ICC software currently supports interworking between the SS7 ISDN User Part The ISDN User Part or ISUP is part of the Signaling System #7 which is used to set up telephone calls in Public Switched Telephone Networks. It is specified by the ITU-T as part of the Q.76x series, ANSI (T1.113-YEAR) and Telcordia former Bellcore GR-246 series. (ISUP (ISDN User Part) See SS7. ) protocol stack and SS7 Broadband-ISUP (B-ISUP B-ISUP Broadband ISDN User Part (also seen as BISUP) ) protocol stack and also supports switching call control for ISUP and B-ISUP. Upcoming ICC Functionality Future releases of Trillium's ICC software will provide solutions for ATM-to-ISDN, IP-to-SS7, ISDN-to-SS7, ATM-to-SS7, and IP-to-ISDN interworking. Trillium's future ICC software will also support switching call control for Q.93B and Q.930.
