Custom-Engineered Solution from Squire Technologies will Facilitate Transit of GSM Traffic for Nortel

A bespoke version of Squire's8217;s ANSI SCCP Protocol Converter will be used to address Nortel's8217;s specific SS7 requirements in Russia

Dorset, UK June 7 2006 -- Squire Technologies, the specialist provider of carrier-class signalling, SS7 and VoIP products and services, has today announced that a custom-engineered version of its ANSI SCCP Protocol Converter is to be used by network vendor Nortel. The customised solution will facilitate the transit of GSM traffic in Russia by converting two disparate variants of SS7.



Faced with the challenges raised by Russia'ss existing mobile infrastucture, Nortel sought a solution from Squire Technologies that would allow for inter-working between different version of SS7. However, during the on-site installation of Squire'ss SVI 9220 SS7 Protocol Converter, Squire Technologies'ss engineers determined that the product would need to be customised to meet Nortel'ss requirements.



As a result, Squire re-engineered the ANSI SCCP Protocol Converter to allow non-circuit related signalling (such as TCAP) to be carried over SS7 routes, as well as other functionality that would allow Nortel to achieve its communication goals. The period from the initial on-site investigation to the installation of the finished, customised product was less than two weeks.



Squire Technologies's SS7 expertise and committed support allowed them to rapidly deliver against our specific network requests, said Sergei Kulyov, Nortel, Russia. I would highly recommend them.



Although most of our customers are happy with our products 'sstraight out of the box's, it is essential that we can also offer custom-engineered solutions, like this one for Nortel, said Andrew Cooper, Managing Director, Squire Technologies. With so many SS7 variants in use throughout the world, companies are increasingly looking for solutions that will provide inter-working between all of these different alternatives.



In addition to facilitating the flow of GSM traffic, the resulting solution will provide signalling-only termination (i.e. with no bearer channels terminated), thereby reducing the cost of additional TDM connectivity on the protocol converter itself. Also, since the TDM voice circuits go directly between the two interconnects, Squires Protocol Converter will provide a higher bandwidth of interconnect at a reduced cost.
