Trillium | Mobile Application Part (MAP) - GSM, GPRS, and UMTS
Description
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a globally accepted standard for digital cellular communications. Mobile Application Part (MAP) - GSM supports interactive mobile applications (e.g., cellular, paging, voice messaging) between the network entities in a GSM system. These functional entities include Home Location Registers (HLRs), Visitor Location Registers (VLRs), Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs), SGSN Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and so on.
Trillium MAP - GSM software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of soft switches, signaling gateways, signal transfer points, service control points, media gateway controllers or other products to:
- Accelerate time to market
- Reduce development costs
- Reduce project risk of internally developed MAP - GSM applications
Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, a warranty and technical support.
Features + Benefits
- Supports ASN.1 Encoding/Decoding of all the standard operations-related messages exchanged in the MAP interfaces, like C, D, and E, and so on. These MAP messages are exchanged to provide CAMEL services, GPRS network services and 3G network services.
- Enables dialogue establishment and release procedures.
- Provides remote operation invocation procedures.
- Securely transports MAP messages as defined by the MAP security protocol (MAPSec).
- Supports Trillium SCCP release 3.2 for the ITU/ANSI 96 specifications.
- Runs over SS7 or TCP/IP by using either the Trillium SS7 stack or the Trillium TCAP over TCP/IP (SR-3389) software.
- Conforms to Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture (TAPA)
- Benefits of licensing Trillium software from Continuous Computing
