Datasheet Telecom and Compute Products Intel NetStructure SS7G21 and SS7G22 Signaling Servers Signaling Server SIU Mode These servers provide signaling connectivity for distributed, multisystem based telecom applications including TDM interfaces and IP transport to application servers. They offload the signaling processing from the application servers and can run a wide range of signaling protocols, including specific local variants, enabling worldwide deployment in a variety of applications. These units are ideal for solutions where a high throughput of signaling traffic is required. The SS7G21 and SS7G22 offer developers a fully integrated standards-based signaling platform providing carrier-grade qualities including fault resiliency, scalability, and interoperability, making them ideal platforms for developing enhanced telephony services. The demand for enhanced telephony services such as short message service (SMS), televoting, location-based services (LBS), local number portability, and 800 number routing, coupled with the emergence of new services such as color ring back tone (CRBT) and video, are driving an ever-increasing need for high-performance, high-density signaling servers. The Intel NetStructure SS7G21 and SS7G22 Signaling Servers are designed to meet the needs of telecommunication equipment manufacturers, system integrators, and service providers deploying these services worldwide. Supplied in a 2U carrier-grade chassis, these servers provide signaling connectivity for multichassis call control, wireless, or Intelligent Networking (IN) applications. A message-based protocol application programming interface (API) is presented over IP to the application hosts. This common API used across the Intel NetStructure signaling product suite provides developers with a familiar interface to the signaling server, therefore minimizing training needs and allowing for an easier migration of applications to a higher performance platform.
Datasheet Intel NetStructure SS7G21 and SS7G22 Signaling Servers Features Supports traffic rates up to 6000 TCAP transactions per second, or 4000 ISUP calls per second per server Supports up to 64,000 simultaneous transactions in TCAP, INAP, GSM-MAP, or IS41-MAP per server Supports up to 64,000 circuits in ISUP per server Up to 128 SS7 signaling links in 64 linksets Connects up to 64 application hosts over IP Based on a 2U carrier-grade server from Intel Common API with existing Intel NetStructure signaling products Supports SS7 protocols, including MTP, ISUP, TUP, SCCP, TCAP, INAP, GSM-MAP, and IS41-MAP Supports many local protocol variants, including ANSI, China, ETSI, France, ITU, UK Supports resilient system architectures and multiple point codes Includes host software for applications under many operating systems Benefits Accommodates very demanding mobile and intelligent networking transaction-intensive applications Enables the creation of powerful, scalable, cost-effective, high-density solutions Carrier-grade qualities prevent revenue loss due to downtime Allows easier migration of applications to a higher performance platform Ensures reliable, global deployment using protocols that are deployed in many networks worldwide Enables fault-resilient system architectures with redundant systems and standby IP ports when supporting individual or multiple networks Allows developers to choose the operating system most suited to their application host requirement Functional Description The Intel NetStructure SS7G21 and SS7G22 Signaling Servers in the SIU mode provide access to all layers of the SS7 stack from MTP3 upwards. A driver on the application host sends and receives API messages over IP to and from the gateway. This architecture frees the application hosts to concentrate processor and memory resources on the application, making it ideal for high-performance distributed systems. Distributed Transaction Server The Distributed Transaction Server (DTS) module lets TCAP instances run on multiple application hosts. Routing to the hosts may be on an SCCP subsystem number (SSN) or TCAP transaction ID, letting hosts run different TCAP-user protocols such as GSM-MAP or INAP on different application hosts, and ensuring that transactions are traced back to the appropriate host. DTS allows for greater flexibility in system design, tailoring the loading of system elements to the particular application. System Resilience The signaling servers provide carrier-grade qualities including fault resiliency, scalability, and interoperability (see Figure 1) which are essential requirements for service provider applications. Two Intel NetStructure SS7G21 (or SS7G22) units can be configured to share the same SS7 point code or multiple point codes, providing fully resilient operation for the supported point codes. In normal operation, signaling can be load-shared across the two units. If one unit fails, the remaining unit handles all signaling. Additionally, IP resiliency can be enhanced by utilizing the 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces as teams, where there is an active and standby interface for a given IP address. Optionally, each signaling server can be configured with dual power supply units, providing a hot swap redundant configuration. Applications Signaling service node creation, including Video gateways Wireless nodes short message service center (SMSC), home location register (HLR), roaming gateways Wireless SMS platforms/gateways Intelligent networking service control point (SCP), intelligent peripheral (IP) Voice-activated dialing (VAD), voice portal (VP), interactive voice response (IVR), or voice mail (VM) systems LBS CRBT services 2
