Signalling protocol package meets latest standards

The new Netbricks interworking signaling protocol package IWF-Bricks POTS is fully compliant with the latest TiSpan ETSI standards.

Netbricks' IWF-Bricks POTS interworking signalling protocol package is fully compliant with the latest TiSpan ETSI standards.

Network equipment vendors can realise FMC (fixed mobile convergence) architectures more easily and with lower risk thanks to Netbricks' new protocol suite.

The POTS interworking package significantly shortens FMC product development time.

The ETSI TiSpan committee has worked hard to define FMC-related architecture and procedures.

The standard enables legacy and TDM equipment to connect to an IP multimedia core network (IM CN) using IMS standards as an input and SIP (session initiation protocol) as the signalling protocol for call control.

While some ETSI gateway functionality standards for interworking between analogue and digital circuit-based equipment are still in draft form, the set as a whole is now mature and stable enough to allow product development.

Covering the interworking between POTS (plain old telephone system) and SIP, the Netbricks IWF-Bricks POTS signalling package is a very complete implementation compliant with the ETSI ES 283 003, as well as a series of other ETSI standards (TS 183 0xx).

It supports overlap signalling, billing and conferencing, providing a comprehensive solution that needs much less integration effort.

The IWF-Bricks POTS package is the first of a set of products compliant with the new TiSpan standards, all of them based on the familiar, highly stable SIP-Bricks product suite.

The NetLab-Bricks software emulation tool runs under both Linux and Windows and emulates a P-CSCF (proxy state control function) or an AGCF (access gateway control function).

It has also been updated to fully support the new capabilities.
