Interface speeds switch to GPRS
Adax and Hughes Software Systems have a pre-integrated solution crucial to infrastructure developers suffering pressures to roll out new GPRS/UMTS networks, services and revenue streams.
A PCI-based system, incorporating Adax's HDC-PCI Combo board, enables solutions to be brought to market that much more quickly and cheaply in comparison.
The new HDC-PCI Combo provides T1/E1 and Ethernet connections directly on the board, eliminating the need for an additional daughter card, and the PCI form-factor enables cost-effective use in PCI-based systems.
In response to market demand for more integrated systems, Adax has met this need by adding Ethernet capabilities to a single card.
This enables developers to use the company's high-performance HDC cards for gateway-type solutions on PCI platforms, such as Linux-based PCs or Sun SPARC workstations.
This is in addition to cPCI and PMC formats for the HDC card, giving maximum options in building next-generation networks.
The Adax HDC-PCI Combo card is a high-performance high-density multiple-protocol channelised controller that supports both traditional SS7 and Sigtran protocols for SS7 over IP.
It is available in two versions: either with four T1/E1 interfaces or two T1/E1s and two Ethernet ports.
This makes it the ideal card for signalling gateways, being able to interface to traditional/legacy/PSTN networks and IP networks, with narrowband SS7 and Sigtran protocols, respectively.
Other application areas include media gateway controllers; SGSN and GGSNs, MSC and BSS nodes in GPRS networks; and SMS offloads, to name but a few.
The HDC is dynamically configurable and is capable of delivering a combination of up to 128 channels of SS7 MTP-2 64k and 2Mbit HSL signalling, SCTP, LAPB/D/F, LAPV5, X.25, frame relay or HDLC.
Multiple HDC cards can be installed together to provide a totally scaleable, flexible and cost effective solution.
