SIGTRAN enables service providers to protect their investment in SS7 equipment and application code while taking advantage of IP-based networks that are less expensive and easier to maintain. SpiderWareSG provides an out-of-the-box SIGTRAN gateway solution for ATCA and 2.16 systems. SpiderWareSG helps telecom OEMs get to market fast with reliable, high-density, low-cost signaling systems that bridge existing SS7 and next-generation IP networks
Complete “Plug and Play” system
SpiderWareSG is a standalone “Plug & Play” product. It requires no change to the SS7 network topology or expensive reconfiguration of SS7 network elements.
Reduced Time to Market
SpiderWareSG comes pre-configured, enabling the blade to plug into a carrier signaling network and provide Signaling Gateway functionality straight out of the box. A comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to rapidly reconfigure the blade for carrier network topologies. Extensive interoperability testing helps minimize incompatibilities with other vendor’s equipment.
Reduce Development Costs and Cost of Ownership
SpiderWareSG provides an off-the-shelf solution that’s ready to plug directly into a 2.16 or ATCA system and provide complete Signaling Gateway functionality. This eliminates the need for timeintensive hardware/software integration and testing. This enables Telecom OEMs to focus their efforts on key value-add, revenue-generating portions of their system. As the product moves through its lifecycle, Emerson maintains both the hardware and software, managing changes in the standards and obsolescence issues reducing the total cost of ownership for telecom OEMs.
Highly Adaptable Carrier Class Signaling Solution
A single SpiderWareSG M3UA card provides a highly flexible solution for an operator deploying SIGTRAN based TDM to IP signaling gateways. The blade is generic enough to be used as a building block for many types of telecom equipment, thus it allows a system designer to work with a subsystem that has been tried and tested in previous installations.
