Trillium+plus Signaling Gateway
Trillium+plus Signaling Gateway (SG) is a pre-integrated, standards-based signaling solution for Signaling System 7 (SS7) and SIGTRAN interworking in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), 3G, 2.5G, and 2G wireless networks.
Trillium+plus Signaling Gateway is a pre-packaged solution which includes:
- Trillium+plus high performance fault-tolerant Signaling Gateway stack binary
- Carrier-grade PMC/PCI line card with support from 1 to 128 links
- Integrated management software with persistent database
Trillium+plus Signaling Gateway includes the complete features and functionality of SS7 and SIGTRAN network resources that can be managed by standard network management software. The Trillium+plus integrated management layer combines stack configuration, alarming, reporting, fault management, and element management functions.
The software provides multiple customer interface options for industry-standard management Application Program Interfaces (APIs). A C++ API, Command Line Interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) are available. Trillium+plus Signaling Gateway offers a complete integration of MTP2, MTP3, M3UA, and SCTP protocols that facilitates rapid carrier-class signaling deployment solution; the package is available for Linux-based operating systems.
