• Interconnect with state of the art DIAMETERbased network components and platformsi.e. HSS, OCS.

Future proof your SS7 signalling core knowing Squire Technologiesproducts and expertise will ease the migration to DIAMETER basednetworks.


Core Functionality | Complex Routing

9

MTP Routing• Route on MTP label• OPC and DPC• Network indicator• SIO

The SVI-STP features highly flexible routing options with regular-expression based manipulation of outbound message contents.

SCCP Routing• Routing on incoming SCCP label

- Called and Calling- GT,PC,SSN- NOA, etc

• Variant Translation ETSI to ANSI• Outgoing SCCP label manipulation• Translate routing variant

(GT > PC + SN, etc)

SCCP Variants• SCCP Routing• ITUT Q711-Q714• JT-Q711-G714• ETSI ETS 300 589• ANSI T1.112

Core Functionality | Gateway Screening

10

MTP 3 Screening• Service Indicator• Affected PC in management

message• Originating Point Code• Destination Point Code

SCCP Screening - Called Party• Encoding Scheme• Global Title Indicator• Nature of address indicator• Numbering Plan• Point Code• Subsystem number• Translation type

Provides operators the ability to examine all incoming and outgoing messages againstpre-defined rules. The end result is that either a message is routed or discarded.Gateway Screening is performed on the following MSU parameters.

Calling Party• Encoding Scheme• Global Title Indicator• Nature of address indicator• Numbering Plan• Point Code• Subsystem number• Translation type

SCCP Management Screening• Affected Point Code• Affected subsystem number

ISUP• ISUP message type

MAP• OP code• Parameter matching

/decision making• USSD / SMS

TCAP OP CodesRouting on MAP OP code

General Screening• Byte pattern and offset


Core Functionality | Flexible MSU Record Capture

11

The SVI_STP provides a flexiblemechanism for the capture of allMSU messaging storing as:

• ASCII based MSU records• Configurable ASCII based CDRs• Store MSU details in SQL

database• MSU duplication enables

messages to be sent to 3rd partyapplications – i.e. monitoring

Allows operators to perform BillingReconciliation, Network Analysis etc.

Private SS7 Networks

18

Deploying the SVI_STP into anexisting SS7 network allows anoperator to generate its own “VirtualPoint Codes” for transparent singlecarrier PC interconnect andprovision of “private SS7 networks”providing:

• Costs savings by not having topurchase expensive incumbentcarriers Point Codes.

• Accelerated network deployment- the provision of additional PointCodes and inter-op testing ismanaged by the operator.
