Pre-IMS Core
Network Products
IPgallery’s solutions enable operators to rapidly establish
new all-IP networks or to smoothly migrate from networks built in a
PSTN philosophy to all-IP. With minimum effort, operators can deploy
IMS-like services today while utilizing existing infrastructure and
support systems (OSS/BSS), and consequently build a natural path to
IMS upgrade. By doing so, IPgallery allows its customers
to significantly reduce their OpEx and CapEx costs, maximize ROI on their existing
network infrastructure and monitor their network upgrade investments.
IPgallery’s pre-IMS core network products meet operational needs and provide
service providers with the flexibility to rapidly roll-out customized cost efficient
advanced IMS-like services on existing networks with minimum integration efforts
and lowest network investment. IPgallery’s technology is designed based
on a unique network architecture that supports a gradual transparent upgrade
path to a true all-IP IMS network.
The following are IPgallery’s pre-IMS core network products that enable
service providers to reap today the IMS future promise:
Network Routing Server (NRS)
IPgallery’s Network Routing Server (NRS) is a key component in
converged networks. It fulfills divers routing requirements generated
by different network elements serving both telephony and multimedia
applications: either initiated by traditional networks using a traditional
telephone number, or a URI and URL address used by IP networks.
IPgallery’s NRS plays an important role in hiding the network
topology from its elements, thus making converged networks transparent
to each other from a routing perspective. This allows service providers
to easily introduce new switching nodes into the network, to move subscribers
between switches or networks, to share resources of applications like
Voice Mail, Video Conferencing etc., and only once to update the routing
data in IPgallery’s NRS.
Application Mediation Server (AMS)
IPgallery’s Application Mediation Server (AMS) is a softswitch-based
middleware designed to mediate between various Application Servers
and existing multi-vendor switching environment (i.e. PSTN switches,
Cellular MSC's and softswitches). IPgallery’s AMS provisions
all contemporary services, requiring only minimal change in existing
OSS/BSS and network configuration, and eliminates the need to adopt
new protocols on both application server and network elements.
IPgallery’s AMS consists of the following components:
- Switch Mediator (SM) interacts with existing switches
via SIP or TCAP
- Service Logic Function (SLF) describes the services
needed to be activated by IPgallery’s AMS based on a programmable
service logic definition mechanism
- Advanced Telephony Features & Services (ATF&S) a
telephony application providing feature-rich telephony services
- Service Capability Interaction Manager (SCIM) coordinates
service delivery among numerous application server platforms
- Protocol Broker converts multiple protocols (e.g.
from SIP to TCAP, etc)
Subscriber Database Server (SDS)
IPgallery’s Subscriber Database Server (SDS) is a centralized
shared user database storing subscribers’ data and triggers to
be used by network applications. By forming a centralized database
for all applications (legacy and IP-based) IPgallery’s SDS creates
a shared and unified subscriber’s profile enabling service providers
to easily deploy new IMS-like services on today’s network while
functioning as the HSS on IMS true networks. |
