Signaling Gateway
Delivers centralized signaling routing and bridges the legacy circuit-switched and packet networks.
Overview
Managing telecommunication networks – whether wireless or wireline – is becoming increasingly complex. The explosion in data traffic is stretching the capacity of existing networks. An extremely competitive landscape is driving the need to reduce operating costs and to create new, next-generation services to retain and attract customers. And, carriers have large investments in their existing circuit-switched resources that they cannot afford to abandon as they migrate their networks to packet technology.
Signaling over Internet protocol (IP) delivers access to new markets and revenue opportunities, enables access to existing circuit-based services, solves network congestion problems and reduces signaling and facilities costs.
Tekelec has been a leader in defining industry IP signaling standards and a pioneer in implementing successful IP-based networks, with some of the earliest and largest deployments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Tekelec offers proven and robust IP signaling solutions, based on the industry standard SIGTRAN protocol suite, to fit a variety of networking needs.
Product Description
Tekelec’s EAGLE 5 Signaling Gateway delivers centralized signaling routing, and bridges the legacy circuit-switched and packet networks. It provides seamless interworking between time division multiplex (TDM) resources like service control points (SCPs) and IP-enabled elements such as softswitches and next-generation databases. With its packet-based technology, the EAGLE 5 Signaling Gateway can handle the signaling requirements of the most complex networks, delivering dynamic bandwidth sharing to support increases in signaling traffic without the addition of additional nodes. The same platform delivers full signal transfer point (STP) capabilities and a host of revenue-generating applications such as calling name, personal call manager and mobile prepaid.
