Fixed and Mobile has deployed the nSignia Signalling Gateway to facilitate the delivery of mobile roaming traffic and SMS messages worldwide over SS7 and IP infrastructures.

Ulticom, a leading provider of network signalling, has announced that Fixed and Mobile, a global provider of integrated voice and data services, has deployed the nSignia Signalling Gateway to facilitate the delivery of mobile roaming traffic and SMS messages worldwide over SS7 and IP infrastructures Fixed and Mobile provides a variety of telecommunications services to mobile operators, Internet service providers and international telecom carriers specifically designed to help them target foreign worker subscribers, a market segment often overlooked by traditional service providers

Fixed and Mobile's services provide secure payment for airtime, authentication, full audit trails, and remittance and clearing through international banks, thereby reducing the risk to carriers.

By exploiting the Fixed and Mobile global network, service providers gain immediate access to new subscribers without the need to build out new network infrastructure.

Fixed and Mobile is deploying nSignia Signalling Gateway as an essential element within their signalling network to bridge their global numbering and mobile payment services with their clients' telecommunications networks.

nSignia is an innovative, highly reliable, and cost effective signalling solution for transporting SS7 traffic over more flexible IP networks.

By working closely with Ulticom, Fixed and Mobile has deployed nSignia as a signal transfer point (STP) and signalling gateway to increase its network capabilities and expand its network presence to interconnect with mobile operators around the world over IP.

This strategy, and the fact that nSignia scales to meet capacity requirements, saves deployment time and cost, while still offering carrier-grade performance and availability.

"nSignia has been instrumental to Fixed and Mobile for launching our Next Generation Mobile Signalling Hub, which enables mobile operators to establish global roaming and messaging interconnections with unique features," said Eric Barbier, managing director at Fixed and Mobile.

"Around the world, 175 million people are working and living abroad".

"Remittance by these workers to their home country alone is approximately USD125 billion annually, which makes this a primary income source for most developing countries, ahead of foreign direct investment".

"Fixed and Mobile is addressing a growing market need to extend communication services to an underserved segment, which poses a compelling opportunity for service providers," said Osman Duman, senior vice president and CMO at Ulticom.

"nSignia Signalling Gateway enables carriers to address opportunities quickly and with minimum investment in new network infrastructure".

For over a decade, network equipment and service providers have relied on Ulticom to deliver comprehensive, carrier-grade signalling solutions for the most demanding communication services.

nSignia Signalling Gateway is built on Ulticom Signalware, the market leading SS7 signalling solution as measured by Venture Data Corporation (VDC), an independent technology market research and strategy firm.
