  1. Carrier-Class InfrastructureA Platform Provider’s Perspective Mike Twomey Excel Switching Corporation mtwomey@ExcelSwitching.com

  2. Objectives • To provide insight from the platform supplier perspective • To share experiences we’ve seen and been a part of regarding this network scenario • To help guide developers out of the field and into the lab…There will be no sales if there is no product

  3. Excel AnyGen Platforms

  4. Word of the Day • Flexibility - Flex`i`bil´i`ty • the quality of being adaptable or variable; • the ability to change or be changed to fit changed circumstances • the ease with which a system or component can be modified for use in applications or environments other than those for which it was specifically designed

  5. Flexibility…Let me count the ways • Application(s) – Fixed & mobile, voice & signaling • Size – <100 Channels to thousands • Signaling - IP (SIP & H.323) & TDM (SS7/PRI/CAS) • Architecture – IMS, SIP, Service Node • Carrier-class and non-carrier-class – (I know this goes off topic, but as a developer you should be able to provide alternative architectures for an array of customers while minimizing your costs and their costs.)

  6. App Developer Perspective

  8. Deploying VoIP-based Prepaid Application Server Gateway Media Server • Multiple Vendor…Interoperability • Difficult to add new services • High CapEx and OpEx • Perceived QOS

  9. Simplifying Your Network • More than just a gateway… • Announcements • DTMF • Conferencing • Recording • TDM-TDM + IP-IP Speed time to market and reduce costs by leveraging flexible platform

  10. IP Network PSTN Simplify…simplify…simplify Egress Tandem Soft Phone T1 Open Gateway + Application ATA + Phone SBC Service Provider Benefits 1. Fewer Vendors…Eliminate Interoperability Issues 2. Pay as You Grow – Centralized/Distributed 3. Carrier Grade Reliability 4. Reduced Equipment, Spares & Training Costs Application Provider Benefits 1. Single API +SS7/PRI + SIP/H.323 Support… Easy/Low Cost to Add New Services 2. Reduced ongoing support costs

  12. BSC MSC 2G Mobility Networks Open new markets and reduce costs by leveraging a single flexible services platform Multi-application Flexibility Softswitch / SIP App Server WLAN SIP Client Multi-service Platform SIP Phone SIGTRAN SIP Media Gateway RTP IP VXML Softswitch / SIP Networks IMG 1010 WAG RNC C7 MSC Server (Softswitch) 3G Networks T1/E1 PSTN SS7/C7

  13. IP-enabling TDM-based Service Nodes…TDM-enabling IP-based Service Nodes It’s more than the technology…Own YOUR customer…Get footprint and relationship

  14. Conclusion • For developers, there is no uniform or ideal architecture being adopted across the board by service providers, which therefore requires insight and innovation on your part • Multi-function platforms can offer substantial benefits to service providers but ONLY if they truly meet the needs of the carrier • As an app developer, your primary concern should be defining and exceeding your customer(s) needs while differentiating yourself and minimizing YOUR costs
