Alcatel 5070 SSG Signaling Server Global (ANSI Version)
The Alcatel 5070 Signaling Server Global (SSG) ANSI is an extremely versatile, high-capacity signaling platform. It gives carriers and service providers alike the ability to make their networks more efficient and capable of deploying revenue-generating services.
OPENING UP REVENUE-GENERATING SERVICES Designed as a full-featured high-speed packet With Release 20, the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI switch, the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI receives, introduces a rich set of applications to support routes and transmits signaling messages for Mobile Number Portability and Wireless Number call setup, wireless and intelligent network Portability, as well as features to help manage (IN) services.
FEATURES The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI serves as a transport handling volume between the SS7-based system to provide reliable transfer of Message networks and IP-based networks where the Signal Units (MSUs) between network locations message capacity exceeds that of SS7 link sets. and across network fabric transitions. With the The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI provides an IP flexibility of this product, carriers can address signaling link that replaces many SS7 links.
ATM/T1 High-Speed Links T1 cards support signaling ATM adaptation layer Intelligent network applications require increasing (SAAL) for transport of ATM messages to MTP network capacity. By supporting High-Speed layers (MTP2 and MTP3) of the SS7 protocol, Links (HSLs), as shown in Figure 1, the Alcatel as shown in Figure 1.
Number Portability A powerful component of the Alcatel 5070 Number Portability is a key issue for SSG ANSI’s database capabilities is its high Due to the deregulation of the telecommunications competition in the transaction rate capability. market, mandated Number Portability (NP) is a key issue for competition in the telecommunications telecom industry. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI supports up to industry.
Number Pooling the block holder, and the owner of the NPA- ALR routing locates and Local exchange carriers require a central office NXX is called the code holder. A code holder routes customer service (CO) code per rate center. As a result, there is surrenders unused blocks to the pool, which queries, facilitating an increasing incidence of CO code exhaustion may then be assigned to another service communication across requiring the associated numbering plan area provider.

To route a call, services.

ALR for HLRs supports identify the subscriber and translate the network a significantly better usage of HLR capacity and address of the node handling a subscriber’s allows a separation of the mobile identification service, such as the HLR. ALR routing enables number (MIN) from the mobile directory number the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI to respond to queries (MDN).

WHY ALCATEL? Alcatel is the STP vendor of choice for Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI replaces, supports major networks. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI a maximum of 720 DS0 links and 14 million is a natural progression to next generation database entries. signaling services, offering customers all of the SS7 features currently available on existing The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI is the only product STPs.
ARCHITECTURE Packet Overlay Network Consolidation support very large numbers of links with Customers interested in operational and/or STP consolidation. unequaled reliability and capacity to facilitate consolidation cost reductions from their legacy STP networks can utilize the greater capacity of Many customers with existing circuit-based the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI to fold multiple existing networks are planning to implement overlay VoP STPs into a single platform. Public switched networks.
