The SGX4000 Universal Signaling Gateway helps to create a powerful bridge between SS7/C7 and SIP core networks, enabling network operators to migrate to an IP architecture while preserving legacy network services and policies. The SGX4000 gateway forms an integral part of the Sonus Next-Generation Network (NGN) core and IMS architectures, delivering a host of benefits to carriers right now.
- Enables SS7/C7 and SIGTRAN signaling messages to communicate with SIP core networks;
- Supports consistent policy enforcement on SIP core networks;
- Presents a non-disruptive NGN migration path that enables IP networks to access legacy and Intelligent Network/Advanced Intelligent Network (IN/AIN) services;
- Consolidates SS7/C7 links and supports multiple Originating Point Codes (OPCs) and Subsystem Numbers (SSNs) to reduce operator costs and increase network efficiency;
- Provides a future-ready solution that is scalable, reliable, easy to manage and IMS compliant.
The SGX4000 features some of the broadest protocol support in the industry: SS7 MTP, M2PA, M3UA, ISUP, SCCP, SCTP, SUA and, in conjunction with the Sonus PSX server, TCAP, IS-41 and GSM MAP. An active-active pairing of SGX gateways can serve an entire network-up to 50 GSX/PSX elements-and 128 A/F links, eliminating the need for costly SS7 links to core network elements.
