HSS Releases Complete Source Code Offering For 3G SGSN

Hughes Software Systems (HSS) unveiled a software source code offering for 3G SGSN (third generation serving GPRS support node). The HSS solution offers access to the entire source code helping OEM R&D teams jumpstart the internal development of the 3G SGSN. In addition, the HSS solution enables OEMs to customize and build service differentiators to cater to their unique needs.

HSS has led the GPRS and UMTS space with its protocol stacks and value added software solutions. The HSS 3G SGSN offering combines these proven software building blocks, thereby reducing the challenges of interoperability.

The 3G SGSN source code from HSS reduces the cost as well development time for building the 3G SGSN network node, while conforming to the 3GPP standards, thereby guaranteeing interoperability.

"The 3G SGSN combines HSS' software expertise, backed by our R&D experience. The HSS solution is an optimal one for handling packet based traffic in future 3G mobile networks and offers OEMs an incredibly fast time-to-market advantage," said Arun Kumar, President and Managing Director, Hughes Software Systems.
