Service access, interworking and brokering

Imagine if you could enable your subscribers to access any service from any device over any SS7- or SIP-based network. You’d be able to offer “sticky” services, such as color ring back, to all types of subscribers, whether prepaid or postpaid, fixed or mobile. Comprehensive solutions from Stratus provide the service orchestration you need to integrate value-added services across wireless, wireline and IP networks — and boost your average revenue per user (ARPU).

Deployed as an SS7/SIP service gateway between networks, the Stratus® Internetwork Services Signaling Gateway (ISSG) provides protocol conversion between various applications based on legacy SS7/IN messages such as WIN, CAP and MAP and next-gen messages such as SIP; or between different flavors of SS7/IN messages. The Stratus Converged Services Broker™ (CSB) solution extends ISSG capabilities to deliver any-to-any protocol service brokering functionality, and includes various IM-SSF and SCIM functions as defined by IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Together, these solutions enable you to leverage existing network investments to create converged services today, while migrating economically towards full IMS deployment in the future. You’ll minimize your costs while offering enticing new features and services — maximizing your opportunity to attract and retain high-value subscribers.

Stratus makes it easy for you to create differentiated, converged offerings that work on a variety of handsets across multiple networks. Through a flexible, intuitive UML-based toolkit, you’ll be able to quickly build, test and deploy service brokering logic that utilizes best-of-breed service offerings for calls in your network.

Hosted on the fault-tolerant Stratus ftServer® hardware platform and backed by 24x7 worldwide support, the Stratus ISSG and CSB solutions are designed to give you peace of mind to complement your competitive edge.
