Hughes Software Systems Releases SS7-SIGTRAN Software Solution For OEMs

Hughes Software Systems (HSS) has announced its new Signaling System 7-Signaling Transport (SS7-SIGTRAN) solution. The new standards-based software significantly cuts the time and costs of transition to next-generation converged voice and data networks, reduces deployment risks and allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to concentrate on differentiating their products through value-added technologies.

"We are committed to integrating best-in-class complementary technologies that allow our OEM customers to get to market faster," said Arun Kumar, President and Managing Director, Hughes Software Systems. "With this solution, we are uniquely positioned to provide more value to our customers, who now have a single vendor solution for both network requirements. Our customers can further enhance on this base by using any of our higher software solutions on SS7 and GPRS/3G, and/or Voice over Packet."

SS7 (Signal System 7) is a technology in which signaling information related to many information circuits is conveyed over a separate circuit by addressed packets. SIGTRAN (Signaling Transport) defines a suite of protocols and adaptation layers for transporting signaling information over IP based networks.

This integrated solution is the latest addition to Hughes Software Systems' SS7 and SIGTRAN stacks, which are provided as building blocks, each tailored to meet specific needs. HSS products are utilized by OEMs to build network nodes for the third-generation mobile and voice over packet infrastructure. The new offering provides OEMs with a clear choice of leveraging IP infrastructure from Mobile to Wireline networks and vice versa, with minimum change in the OEM's application layers.

The SS7-SIGTRAN solution from HSS brings together industry leading technologies from the Voice over Packet and GPRS/UMTS space to offer OEMs "best in class" complementary technologies. This integrated off-the-shelf SS7-SIGTRAN solution accelerates time to-market and lowers overall development and maintenance costs.
