Trillium+plus MAP / TCAP
- Signaling System 7 (SS7) Fault-Tolerant Highly Available Solution
- PMC/PCI Line Card, Trillium and Management Software
Targeting the Signaling System 7 (SS7) needs of telecom equipment manufacturers worldwide, Trillium+plus MAP / TCAP binary protocol software is a pre-integrated signaling solution that enables rapid deployments of HLRs / VLRs, IN-SCPs, SSFs, and other 3G and 2G wireless network components.
Trillium+plus MAP / TCAP is a pre-packaged solution which includes:
- Trillium+plus high performance fault tolerant MAP / TCAP SS7 stack binary
- One or more PMC / PCI line cards which terminate T1 / E1 lines and implement MTP1 / MTP2 functionality
- Integrated management software with a persistent database
Trillium+plus MAP / TCAP binary protocol software includes the complete features and functionality of SS7 network resources that can be managed by standard network management software. The Trillium+plus binary protocol software integrated Management Layer combines all necessary stack configuration, alarming, reporting, fault management and element management functions.
The software will provide multiple customer interface options for industry-standard management Application Program Interfaces (APIs). A C++ API, Command Line Interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) are available.
Trillium+plus TCAP / MAP binary protocol software also offers a high-level API for MAP and TCAP protocols that facilitates rapid integration necessary for a carrier-class signaling deployment solution; the package is available for Linux-based operating systems.
