3. All SS7 packets, including MTP1~3, ISUP, TUP and TCAP, originate from Synway's in-house development and high-performance field applications, and can be optimized for high-capacity, high performance Telco applications. Synway's maximum value customization support can deliver custom features and embed an array of special resources, such as fax and conferencing for any TEP and call center equipment providers.
4. Synway offers applications developers matchless pricing points around the world.
Mpathix Platform Introduction
With its standards-based design, Mpathix™ offers messaging solutions on industry-compliant media and application servers for both circuit switched (TDM) and IP networks. With hybrid networks a reality for years to come, Mpathix ensures service providers enjoy a single, integrated solution for all of their network needs.
Originally, Mpathix used the third-party SS7 signaling technology in an independent SS7 server to process SS7 signaling, which not only complex system, but also increase service and component cost. With a limited range of media processing resources, this platform could not process fax and conferencing applications either.
Making decision to partner with Synway
To completely resolve its existing problems, Mpathix has started to seek a new partner worldwide capable to supporting its further penetration since 2003. In terms of some stringent standards, Mpathix finalized a short list of prospective vendors, and internally achieve the consensus to integrate Synway's hardware architectures into its platform for the following reasons, in despite of some concerns.
Scalability
Synway design gives telecom solution providers the ability to easily add more capacity when they need it, and makes carriers pay exactly for ports required for now, and scale up more capacity for future as needed. This gives service providers full control over growth and ensures capital expenses are not tied up for non-revenue generation overcapacity. Synway's hardware can scale up to 1,920 ports (IP and/or TDM) and 96 SS7 links by simply adding components as needed. In multiple nodes, Synway's hardware can support boundless expansion.
With Synway, a developer's initial investment is protected since all configurations use the same hardware and application interfaces and expansions are built on top of the existing system. With no upfront costs for unneeded hardware or software application, the platform grows as your traffic grows.
Reliability
At Synway, component and architectural reliability are an integral part of design. Built for the demanding central office environment, Synway's media processing and signaling architecture exceeds stringent standards of carrier-grade solutions in complex operator network. An array of high-capability, over-million subscribers' installations worldwide have proven Synway's Telco-grade stability since 1990s.
Designed for full redundancy, Synway's hardware includes all featured reliability, such as hot swappable, redundant SS7 connection, and enables upgrade without downtime plus full redundancy and operation protection. To ensure the highest availability, Synway continues to use advanced processing technologies, such as Direct Memory Processing (DMA), best-of-breed components such as TI DSP chipsets.
Interoperability
Interoperated with an array of TDM/IP switchers and networks, Synway's product portfolios, including analog, digital and VoIP media processing and access platforms, share the same application interface and media processing capabilities, and can be mixed together and used alone for all of highly scalable and available applications and value-added services in PSTN and(or) IP networks. All of Synway-component-based applications or services are protocol-independent (SIP or SS7) and can be migrated among all of Synway's portfolios.
Synway's media processing and signaling architectures incorporate a full suite of protocols, including SIP, SS7, ISDN, CAS, and Telco solution providers can easily depend on Synway's portfolios to deliver gateway functionality and a host of next-generation features. Sustainability and interoperability of Synway's products protect initial investment of service providers and application developers.
Customizability
With an expandable suite of value-added features, Synway's integrated media and signaling product enables Telco solution providers to introduce more cost effective, innovative services and meet carriers and subscribers' today or future network needs.
In the hypercompetitive environment, service providers and operators must continually lower subscription cost for standard services, such as voicemail, and yet simultaneously offer subscribers more value-added functionalities, such as faxmail. Synway, with world-class technical team, can provide application developers and specially Telco solution developers with enhanced architectures to differentiate from competitors.
On-field test Synway's SHD series
To evaluate Synway's hardware reliability, Mpathix's engineers firstly tested its SHD series card in a low capacity environment, which supports 4 E1/T1 software configurable interfaces in USA. “Within three months, Mpathix's engineers finish this migration to Synway's API, although we think at least 5 months is needed for this migration because our sophisticated applications embed a long list of features”, said Mpathix's senior development engineer: “it is a surprise that Synway's technical resources, professionalism, and user-friendly products make us succeed in our first cooperation with Chinese vendor, and we will continue to leverage resources in Synway's architectures for other high capacity, highly available platform for middle or large sized carriers and enterprises”. The following diagram is Mpathix's MX platform built on Synway's hardware architecture.
Result of complete replacement
A high scalability and availability architecture, Synway's media processing and signaling hardware platforms are Telco-proven components. Supporting a full suite of protocols, such as SS7, SIP, ISDN, CAS, Synway's offering exceeds carrier standards and ensures ultimate compatibility and interoperability with operator TDM& IP switchers and networks. By simultaneously supporting SS7 and SIP protocols on the same media/application server, Synway's hardware delivers telecom solution providers and service providers a smooth and seamless transition to IP-based services.
It supports an array of enhanced media processing capabilities, including conferencing, fax, echo cancellation, Codecs, and standard features, such as trunking, playback, recording, DTMF, and can be used for voicemail, faxmail, auto attendant, unified messaging, multimedia server and gateway functionality and a host of next generation features.
With a full range of value-added features, Synway's integrated media and signaling product enables Telco solution providers to introduce more cost effective service and meet carriers and subscribers' today or future network needs in a single expandable platform.
