ATCA building blocks make up managed platform
Radisys used the 3GSM World Congress to expand its Promentum family of AdvancedTCA (ATCA) equipment with seven new products.
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.
Gateways meet latest Sigtran standards
Radisys Savvi SS7 gateways are now fully conformant to the new Sigtran standards for M2UA and M3UA.
RadiSys 10 Gigabit ATCA platforms are invaluable to equipment manufacturers developing complex network elements such as WiMAX ASN gateways, 3G radio network controllers/basestation controllers, IPTV infrastructure and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) compliant media gateways, application servers and media servers/MRFPs.
"ATCA has quickly become a critical component in designing wireless networks", said Scott Grout, CEO, RadiSys.
"This architecture provides a foundation that allows equipment manufacturers to meet or exceed performance objectives necessary to target next generation subscriber and traffic growth driven by 3G, IMS and WiMAX networks", said Grout.
Using the same managed platform for a variety of applications, manufacturers of WiMAX ASN Gateways and other wireless solutions can reduce overall development time by up to 50% and significantly cut development, lifecycle and equipment costs.
"As communications equipment manufacturers face rising costs and increasingly shorter development cycles, the ability to take advantage of a standard managed platform is more important than ever", said Sanjay Dhawan Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Aricent.
"Allowing equipment manufacturers to focus on developing higher value applications rather then spending precious resources developing base communication protocols and platform management solutions is invaluable".
"The RadiSys ATCA SYS-6010 provides this comprehensive platform to enable roaming in WiMAX networks".
The demonstration is in Hall 2 on Stand 2D54 at the 3GSM World Congress.
