Connect7

Proven Solution

NewNet Communication Technologies is an industry leader in providing evolutionary and powerful Signaling System #7 (SS7) protocols, integrated into a well engineered Application Development Platform. The Connect7 Platform addresses the SS7 and SIGTRAN needs of next generation equipment manufacturers and application developers who need the power and flexibility offered by Connect7 in a cost effective offering. The Connect7 API’s supports rapid application development on a distributed framework, enabling developer to implement their designs on time and within budget.

Value Leadership

NewNet’s Connect7 is a high performance solution with full SS7 and SIGTRAN functionality supporting industry standard controller boards and computing platforms. The Connect7 open architecture design supports a multi-vendor environment and ensures easy portability to a variety of host platforms that support industry standard bus architectures like PCI, PCI-e, and PMC with V.35, T1/E1, and RS449 network interfaces.

Distributed Functionality

The reliable Connect7 supports distributed system functionality in MTP, SCCP, TCAP, and ISUP layers. In the distributed configuration, two computing hosts can be configured to run concurrently, as part of a single signaling point. Connect7 provides the fail-over mechanisms to prevent service interruption. Links from the SS7 network terminate on multiple hosts, even if they belong to the same link set. Furthermore, all hosts are simultaneously active. If a host becomes inoperative, the other host continues to pre-serve the active ISUP calls, bringing availability to 99.999%.
