Trillium SIGTRAN Enhancements
Trillium SIGTRAN Leadership Continues
Trillium protocol software from Continuous Computing is synonymous with high quality and superior performance. Trillium SIGTRAN protocol software leverages this strong heritage to simplify the network and propel telecommunications toward innovative revenue-generating services. Trillium SIGTRAN protocol software helps telecom equipment manufacturers address common concerns such as interoperability, security, quality of service, and legacy interworking.
Specifically, Continuous Computing builds upon its first-to-market SIGTRAN heritage by actively enhancing Trillium SIGTRAN protocol software. Recently, Continuous Computing has released upgraded versions of Trillium MTP3 User Adaptation (M3UA) Layer and Trillium Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) software. Continuous Computing's Trillium M3UA and SCTP form the core of the Trillium SIGTRAN protocol software product line.
Continuous Computing amplifies the benefits of choosing Trillium SIGTRAN by upgrading the software to the latest Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) specifications and by continuously enhancing the protocol software's market-leading performance. The market for SIGTRAN protocol stacks continues to grow as carriers leverage this key technology to transition to an Internet Protocol (IP) core network while extending the life of existing legacy circuit switched services.
Trillium SIGTRAN Leadership
Starting with the delivery of the first M3UA and SCTP protocol software in 2001, Trillium SIGTRAN has established a dominant market position both from a mindshare and design win perspective. The Continuous Computing Trillium team remains instrumental in pushing ahead global standardization efforts and educating the market on the benefits and applications of SIGTRAN technology. This is accomplished through a combination of standards body participation, interoperability event attendance, and various speaking engagements. Recent activity in these areas includes:
- 9th SCTP Interoperability Event | August 2007
- Testing of the latest release of Trillium SCTP against other vendors throughout the industry
- Ensuring global interoperability of recent IETF RFC 4460 and ETSI compliance upgrades
- The Role of Signaling Gateways in Next-Gen Networks | June 2006
- Defined the evolving form of SGs and how they are key to transitioning to NGN
- Continuous Computing was a sponsor and presenter focusing on the role of SIGTRAN and SIP protocols in the SG architecture
- ETSI SIGTRAN "Plugfest" - September 2005
- ETSI-sponsored interoperability testing event
- Verified Trillium M2UA and Trillium IUA implementations
- Contact us for the event results report
In the end, the result of consistent SIGTRAN product enhancements and thought leadership activities consist of design wins. Recent Continuous Computing SIGTRAN customer announcements include the following:
