Deployed for the past 35 years, SS7 provides signaling that enables mobile and fixed network operators to setup/teardown calls, to route text (SMS) messages, support inter-network connectivity and transparent roaming, and to provide per-session information such as caller ID. While SS7 was the foundation for signaling in 2G/3G circuit switch networks, Diameter has been introduced for 4G LTE and VoLTE packet networks and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based systems, and is key to enabling new revenue-generating IP services.
Combined signaling solution eases Diameter migration
The Ribbon SS7 & Diameter Signaling solution enables MNOs to introduce Diameter-based signaling capabilities without having to rip and replace legacy infrastructure. Protect your investments by combining Signaling Transfer Point (STP) and Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) functionalities on the same signaling routing platform. A simple yet elegant solution to address the dilemma of supporting legacy SS7 networks while migrating to LTE/EPC/Diameter networks.
Selecting the industry-proven Ribbon SS7 & Diameter Signaling solution will protect your capital investments, ease your transition to next-generation networks and reduce operational disruption, all while maintaining support for your SS7 network. Ribbon’s signaling and routing solution, along with our deep expertise in SS7 and Diameter protocols, enable you to achieve a more efficient, scalable, secure and cost-effective network.
