Low-risk path from circuit to packet switching
New from RadiSys, the Savvi SX SS7/IP signalling extender is a stand-alone device that connects a legacy circuit-switched SS7 network element to an IP-enabled SS7 network element.
RTOS upgrades to latest Internet protocol
The latest version of the OS-9 RTOS from Radisys features IPv6 support for ARM, Intel StrongARM and Hitachi processors.
Many carriers, service providers and operators have delayed migration to Sigtran SS7/IP technology pending completion of the standards and their subsequent adoption by equipment manufacturers.
Sigtran protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Signalling Transport (Sigtran) Working Group.
Last month, two of the standards - namely, MTP2-User Adaptation Layer (M2UA) and MTP3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) - achieved RFC status within the IETF, thus completing the standards process.
Radisys expects that other signalling equipment manufacturers will follow its lead and move quickly to adopt and support the new standards as well.
"Radisys' support of the new Sigtran RFC specifications is further proof of our commitment to standards-based signalling solutions", said Arif Kareem, senior vice president for Radisys.
"Radisys remains an active participant in the Sigtran Working Group and has participated in all of the Working Group's interoperability 'plugtests' to date.
For that reason, Radisys was able to move quickly to RFC compliance once the standards were adopted, enabling customers to deploy to Sigtran-standard products immediately".
All of Radisys Savvi gateways include RFC 2960-compliant Streams Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for reliable delivery of signalling messages over IP, including multihoming for automatic fail-over/recovery in the event of network failure.
The Savvi SX signalling extender and Savvi SR signalling router also include M2UA, and the Savvi SG signalling gateway includes both M2UA and M3UA.
Radisys also maintains compatibility with previous versions of these protocols, as well.
