Trillium Enhances Its SIGTRAN Solution with New SUA Offering, Enabling Phone Services to be Carried Over Converged Networks.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2001 M3UA M3UA MTP (Message Transfer Part) Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (IETF) M3UA Mtp3 User Adaptation Signaling Software Successfully Passes Interoperability Testing at Industry-Sponsored M3UA Bake Off Trillium Digital Systems Inc., an Intel company and 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, has added the new Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Point) A layer 3 protocol in an SS7 network that routes a message to the appropriate database. SCCP is used in conjunction with the TCAP protocol for sending queries to databases. See SS7 and TCAP. See also SSCP. ) User Adaptation Layer (SUA See Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications. ) software to its portfolio of Signaling System 7 (SS7)-over-Internet Protocol (IP) (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 ) solutions for enabling telecommunications carriers to implement phone services in a converged network environment. Trillium's SUA signaling software enables legacy and next-generation networks to communicate and interact in providing end-user services such as automatic call-back and mobile roaming over packet-based networks. Trillium's SUA continues the company's commitment of offering quality and open-standards solutions. Trillium joined other industry leaders at the recently completed International Engineering Task Force's Message Transfer Part Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) Bake Off, where the company successfully completed interoperability testing for its M3UA signaling software. "The SUA layer is our latest SIGTRAN offering aimed at helping customers maximize their investment and value of legacy equipment," said Frank Morese, vice president of marketing for Trillium Digital Systems Inc. "This is another example of how Trillium is helping users minimize costs while offering the latest technologies that conform to changing standards and customer needs." The availability of Trillium's SUA further expands the company's IP telephony offerings, enabling Trillium to offer customers one of the telecommunications industry's most comprehensive SIGTRAN product portfolios. Other Trillium SIGTRAN offerings include the Stream Control Transmission Protocol In the field of computer networking, the IETF Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) working group defined the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as a transport layer protocol in 2002. RFC 2960 defines the protocol, with RFC 3286 providing an introductory text. (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 ), M3UA, and the Integrated Services Digital Network Integrated services digital network (ISDN) A generic term referring to the integration of communications services transported over digital facilities such as wire pairs, coaxial cables, optical fibers, microwave radio, and satellites. Q.921 User Adaptation Layer. SIGTRAN can be integrated into products such as Signaling Gateways, Media Gateway Controllers, IP-resident databases, Third Generation Serving General Packet Radio Service Support Nodes, Radio Network Controllers, and SoftSwitches to accelerate development of converged voice and data solutions. This technology extends the value of carriers' legacy telephone networks by transporting voice traffic over IP-based networks using various protocol components, including SCTP.
