Trillium Digital Systems Inc. announces first commercially available ISUP source code software product supporting the German FTZ specification.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 1997--Trillium Digital Systems Inc. announced it released and shipped the first commercially available 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. ) source code software product supporting the Deutsche Telekom FTZ (Forschung und Technologiezentrum) recommendation, which is primarily for telecommunications equipment deployed in Germany. Deutsche Telekom, Germany's former telecommunications monopoly, is scheduled to open its conventional voice-telephony market to competition after Jan. 1, 1998 under the European Union agreement. Sixty-nine countries, including Germany, recently signed an international trade agreement to open their basic telecommunications markets to competition also by Jan. 1, 1998. ISUP recommendations define the procedures needed to manage circuit-switched connections in public networks and support analog circuits, digital circuits and data transmission. There are many different variants used throughout the global network. Trillium's Chief Technical Officer Larisa Chistyakov said, "Trillium first released the ISUP software product in 1992 to support the ITU (International Telecommunications Union See ITU. (body, standard) International Telecommunications Union - (ITU) ITU-T, the telecommunication standardisation sector of ITU, is responsible for making technical recommendations about telephone and data (including fax) communications systems for PTTs and suppliers. ) recommendation and has since added a number of variants. The FTZ variant is important for our customers that are creating or enhancing their products for deployment in the German market. The opening of the telecommunications market further highlights the need for Trillium's proven interoperability and ability to support multiple, international variants." Trillium's ISUP product currently supports the ITU-1988, ITU-1992, American National Standards Institute See ANSI. (body, standard) American National Standards Institute - (ANSI) The private, non-profit organisation (501(c)3) responsible for approving US standards in many areas, including computers and communications. ANSI is a member of ISO.

It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. ) 1988, ANSI 1992, Q.737, Italy, Singapore, European Telecommunications Standards Institute (body) European Telecommunications Standards Institute - (ETSI) A European version of the ITU-T(?). (ETSI) and now FTZ variants. Trillium software supports numerous variants at run time -- a critical factor allowing communications equipment manufacturers to deploy the same products in many different markets. Its ISUP products are used in telephone switching, voice messaging, signalling transfer point, service platform and other telecommunications equipment. Trillium's ISUP product interworks with Trillium MTP Level 3 and Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) products.

Jeff Lawrence said, "Trillium has almost a decade of experience in creating communications software solutions. Our products have become the de facto standards in ATM and are widely used in SS7 equipment. We will continue to develop interoperable communications software products to meet the demands of our customers as they deploy equipment in both emerging and established markets." Chistyakov said, "Trillium plans to develop a mapping function by the end of 1997 to allow 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. between narrowband and broadband signalling networks using Trillium's ISUP and Broadband ISDN User Part (B-ISUP B-ISUP Broadband ISDN User Part (also seen as BISUP) ) software products."
