Cantata Enhances VoIP Services Platform for Next Gen Networks
By Spencer D. Chin, TMCnet Web Editor
Cantata Technology (News - Alert) has introduced an enhanced version of its Excel Multi-Services Platform (MSP) 1010, enabling global service providers to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy revenue-generating applications as they transition to next generation networks.
The enhanced version of the MSP 1010 includes the Sigtran M3UA protocol, allowing carriers to seamlessly deploy services and solutions in converged networks, where the connectivity is IP; yet internetworking is established through legacy SS7 protocols. In addition, M3UA provides for increased bandwidth and reduced cost.
The enhanced MSP 1010 also incorporates extensive SIP
capabilities which support the industry movement toward SIP as a standard, enabling the development of SIP-based applications that allow operator deployment of new, revenue-generating IP and IMS services.

In addition, the MSP 1010’s passive recording functionality, combined with the ability to monitor SS7 signaling, allows for the development of lawful intercept solutions, whereby law enforcement authorities can non-intrusively record phone conversations. This functionality enables carriers to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).
The platform also has bearer Independent ISUP, enabling the development of infrastructure elements and nodes in the next-generation architecture (NGN), and the conversion of ISUP signaling to SIP signaling in the transition to NGN networks, regardless of the bearer traffic route.
Users can deploy the platform to develop many applications including prepaid voice and data services; voice applications such as IVR, voicemail, conferencing; PBX (News - Alert); a wide range of services based on SS7 monitoring, including welcome roamer and missed call alert; as well as signaling services such as SMS-C, SMS Router, IN applications and signaling converters.

The highly scalable design of the MSP 1010 also enables service providers to easily increase capacity.”
