HIGHLIGHTS:
The SEGway™ X401 platform is Performance Technologies’ newest high-capacity carrier-grade application platform designed specifically to meet the growth and reliability requirements for evolving telecommunication networks. Today’s networks are expanding exponentially to address the increase in traffic due to mobile services, network convergence, and new applications. SEGway solutions are scalable to meet these requirements. SEGway products are “right-sized” to create an unbeatable value proposition for medium to large service providers. The key to any new signaling solution is the ability to maintain the value of existing assets while adopting the new IP-based signaling infrastructure. The SEGway X401 platform does just that – evolution, not revolution. This flexible platform delivers comprehensive capabilities to wireless and wireline service providers who are looking for advanced routing and application services at the core of their network, while seamlessly ensuring continued support for an operator’s legacy infrastructure. The SEGway X401 is fully configurable as a high-capacity STP, Signaling Gateway, or combined STP/Signaling Gateway node. SEGway products can easily adapt to the demands of the market without costly deployment of additional platforms. A Flexible Solution for Growing Networks SEGway signaling products have been deployed by OEMs and carriers in wireless and wireline configurations worldwide, and conform to ANSI and ITU standards. Additional country-specific protocol variants are available upon request. Field-proven for over ten years, our products conform to the latest IETF SIGTRAN protocols, ensuring interoperability. SEGway X401 core nodes, deployed together with Performance Technologies’ IP-Edge systems at the network’s edge, offer operators a total network solution with an even more compelling value proposition. This powerful combination delivers a truly enriched package of flexible nextgeneration capabilities to both wireless and wireline service providers, maximizing the value and performance of their signaling networks. Rock Solid Performance and Quality Field-proven for over ten years, Performance Technologies’ SEGway products provide superior quality to carriers worldwide. The ability to design and produce our own hardware platforms, coupled with expertise in providing innovative software, enables us to produce high-performance, scalable, and flexible solutions. Designed for a telecommunications environment, the SEGway X401 is built on Performance Technologies’ 12U high-availability Advanced Managed Platform™. The system supports five-nines (99.999%) availability with built-in redundancy and hot-swap for all active system components and has dedicated processors with onboard storage for system management and OA&M support. Onboard flash memory provides storage of executables and data, ensuring extremely fast system reload. Flexible Connectivity and Scalability The SEGway X401 supports any-to-any connectivity (SS7, IP and ATM), making it very well suited for deployment in both TDM and IP-based networks. This multi-protocol, multi-standard platform provides a complete connectivity solution. With over double the capacity of our SEGway X301 platform, the X401 scales up to 448 SS7 links with ATM-HSL and up to 256 SIGTRAN M2PA links with support for multi-variant SS7 and SIGTRAN protocols. The SEGway X401’s I/O options include a full array of physical interfaces, including T1, E1, V.35, ATM, and Ethernet. User-Friendly Environment SEGway solutions are designed with the end user in mind. Intuitive, easy-to-navigate screens with pull-down menu selectors assist operations personnel with the configuration of the system. Comprehensive message tracing capabilities allow support personnel to diagnose and troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Many operators find that SEGway systems are easy enough to install and configure themselves after initial training, saving significant E&I costs. World-Class Support Performance Technologies manages every aspect of systems development, including hardware, software, integration, and deployment. Our customers benefit from our ability to provide products that are supported directly by our engineering team. Our support includes all aspects of technical, OEM, and end user support to ensure a successful deployment or product launch. Our professional services team is available on-site or remotely for engineering and installation activities. We offer a variety of training programs, installation services, 24x7 support agreements, and software maintenance contracts. Comprehensive Feature Set STP When configured as an STP node, the SEGway X401 offers all the standard features and functionality expected of an STP solution, including Gateway Screening and Global Title Translation, and at the same time offers extended capabilities and features, such as Signaling Gateway (M3UA/SUA) and Point Code Emulation™. With 14 slots available for I/O and application server blades, the SEGway X401 platform offers unprecedented flexibility to interface with traditional SS7 (TDM, ATM) and next-generation (IP-SIGTRAN) networks, while providing the ability to incorporate purpose-built application servers integrated into a single platform. Signaling Gateway When configured as a Signaling Gateway node, the SEGway X401 offers the unparalleled performance and functionality demanded from VoIP, wireline, and wireless networks of today and tomorrow. This powerful signaling gateway has all the standard features and functionality expected to support the convergence of legacy SS7 and IP networks. SEGway’s versatility also includes the ability to extend its capabilities to that of a full-featured routing node (STP), including features such as Gateway Screening, Global Title Translation, and Point Code Emulation™. IP-Edge The SEGway X401 may also be configured as an IP-Edge solution, allowing carriers to cap their network transport and expansion costs by positioning small, compact, and robust carrier-grade devices within local communities of interest, concentrating SS7 traffic, and backhauling it to an IP-enabled core STP over a managed shared-use IP network. Point Code Emulation™ Point Code Emulation™ is a feature that can be used to significantly simplify and de-risk switch migration activities and allows service providers to grow their signaling networks transparently. This is accomplished by giving the carrier a method to translate between public and private point codes. Private point codes are defined by the carrier and are only visible within the carrier’s network. These point codes are mapped to public point code entities visible to the SS7 network. Roaming Broker The Roaming Broker platform enables a GSM carrier to act as a hub for roaming traffic by policing signaling traffic in a centralized location as defined within the GSMA Open Connectivity Roaming Model. It functions as an enhanced SCCP gateway with filtering rules tailored for roaming, which enables carriers to act as brokers between roaming partners. It also has additional interoperability and security mechanisms to simplify provisioning, maximize inter-working, and ensure network integrity. Additional Capabilities The SEGway X401 platform can also be equipped with powerful capabilities, such as Gateway screening, Global Title Translation, protocol conversion, and voice pass-through for circuit grooming. Expansion capabilities include available slots for application server blades for ENUM, LNP, and monitoring services, all within a single chassis. Technical SpecificationsSignaling Link Capacity
