SEGway Products & Applications

Today’s telecommunications signaling network can be characterized by two important factors – the evolution from SS7 signaling to Diameter signaling and the maturity of the Signaling System 7 (SS7) Network.

Evolution from Signaling System 7 (SS7) to LTE/EPC/Diameter Products

As telecommunications networks enter the evolutionary phases including:

  • GSM (2G/3G) to LTE/EPC (4G)
  • CDMA  (2G/3G) to LTE/EPC (4G)
  • SS7 Wireline to IMS
  • GSM/CDMA to IMS

Network Operators worldwide have come to realize that they must maintain both legacy and Next Generation Networks and provide cross network services compatibility until such time as the network evolution is complete. The following PT's SEGway products address network migration:

 SS7 Maintainability and Evolution Diameter

Telecommunications, industry wide, push to increase the Annual Revenue Per User (ARPU) has highlighted the need to implement revenue generating services across the entire network while limiting the impact on individual network elements. PT's SEGway Portfolio provides the following service enabling products:

Mobile networks are evolving to LTE/EPC utilizing the Diameter Protocol for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. The deployment of these diameter based networks has highlighted questions regarding network scalability, security, optimization and routing. PT's SEGway Universal Diameter Router addresses the Diameter Routing dilemma:

Legacy SS7-Based Network Solutions

The legacy SS7 based networks are experiencing large growth in messaging due to increased usage, new services and new types of interconnected devices. This growth is causing concerns about routing capacity and link bandwidth for message transport. PT’s carrier-class SEGway platforms/products offer service providers the highest-density signaling on the market today. The SEGway product suite includes a complete portfolio of signaling offerings including:
The SEGway Product portfolio utilizes PT's "Total Solutions Approach" and provides comprehensive, purpose built Diameter Signaling Controller solutions. The "Total Solutions Approach" includes hardware platforms, operating systems, routing engines and a variety of diameter routing and Signaling System 7 (SS7) capabilities.
