Deploying the SVI-STP into an existing SS7 network allows an operator to generate its own “Virtual Point Codes” for transparent single carrier PC interconnect and provision of “private SS7 networks” providing :-

• Costs savings by not having to purchase expensive incumbent carriers Point Codes
• Accelerated network deployment – the provision of additional Point Codes and inter-op testing is managed by the operator

With a centralized STP controlling the signaling, ‘inline dipping’ of AIN services enables previously unsupported switches to access CNAM and LNP dips directly from the providers network at significantly reduced rates.

Managing a single SS7 interconnect enables the provision of ‘inline dipping’ with obvious cost savings as well accelerating future network development.

Offering routing at SS7 MTP/SCCP, allowing the transparent transport of higher layer SS7 ISUP, MAP and TCAP traffic.

Provides operators the ability to examine all incoming and outgoing messages against pre-defined rules. The end result is that either a message is routed or discarded. Gateway Screening is performed on the following MSU parameters.

The SVI-STP provides a flexible mechanism for the capture of all MSU messaging storing as :-

• ASCII based MSU records configurable
• ASCII based CDRs
• Store MSU details in SQL database

Allows operators to perform Billing Reconciliation, Network Analysis etc

Supporting multiple interface types the SVI-STP delivers seamless simultaneous conversion between all variants of TDM and SIGTRAN.

Delivering full MTP routing capabilities, with A–F link support, the SVI-STP complies with 14, 16 and 24 bit conversion between ‘any-to-any’ simultaneous multiple variants.
