teleSys Software Completes Successful Deployment of
SS7-IP Gateway In AT&T's Wireless Service Network
February 13, 2001
Burlingame,
California
teleSys
Software Inc today announced the completion of a successful
launch of teleSys Software's MACH7-IP Gateway, which
is used to interface with AT&T Wireless Office
Service customer premise equipment. The MACH7-IP Gateway
is currently tested and deployed in the AT&T Wireless
network. MACH7-IP Gateway moves the power of SS7 to
a TCP/IP-based client/server environment, allowing
unlimited worldwide separation of wireless-office
controllers. This architecture provides affordable
and secure SS7 connectivity for wireless-service providers.
The teleSys
MACH7-IP Gateway is based on a highly available architecture
that virtually eliminates lost network messages and
brings availability to internetworking applications.
This concept, which teleSys developed and deployed
using distributed MTP-3, eliminates lost signaling
traffic. The MACH7-IP Gateway runs on a pair of Sun
Netra T-1125 using the Solaris operating environment.
The core SS7 signaling software incorporates Trillium’s
source code, which enhances and extends the signaling
capabilities of telecommunications networks.
AT&T
Wireless Office Service gives subscribers a single-phone,
single-number system that serves as a wireless-office
phone on the enterprise-phone network, and automatically
connects to the local-wireless network outside the
office. The system allows users to make and receive
calls, utilizing all the features of their office
phones (such as call transfer and forwarding, 4- or
5-digit dialing, and three-way calling) with a wireless
phone anywhere in a building or campus environment.
Calls within range of the system incur no per-minute
airtime charges.
"AT&T
Wireless is the industry leader with in-building systems,
and by deploying into their network after stringent
testing, teleSys has achieved a significant acceptability
of its product as the de facto industry standard for
IP Gateways," said Bobby Bahl, CEO of teleSys
Software. "We have achieved compatibility with
all major players in the industry for WOS controllers,
which allows service providers greater flexibility
when providing service to the end user.
“This
combined effort now presents service providers with
a complete telecommunications solution to enable the
deployment of new and enhanced communication applications,"
said Frank Morese, vice president of marketing for
Trillium Digital Systems, Inc.. Trillium’s technology
enabled the development of a high-performing solution
that can be easily implemented, which will speed up
their customers time-to-market.”
"This
alliance between teleSys and Sun Microsystems gives
telecom service providers one of the best performing
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) complaint
platforms on which to deploy SS7 applications for
demanding services like AT&T Wireless Office Service,"
says Thomas Cheng, market development manager for
Sun Microsystems.
"We
fully expect our release of the SS7-IP Gateway to
create a major business opportunity for our company
over the next few years, and will confirm teleSys
Software's position as a major player and supplier
for wireless carriers," says Ajit Sadarangani,
vice president of sales & marketing for teleSys
Software.
