The Adax Signaling Gateway (AdaxGW) is a single software image that can be configured and re-configured to meet any signaling requirement. The AdaxGW signaling gateway is available on 1U, 2U, or 4U systems, with support for up to 256 SS7 LSLs, 64 ATM or Annex A SS7 HSLs, and 12 Ethernet connections per High Availability (HA) node.

The AdaxGWs integrate our core high-performance communications controllers and software modules for SS7 and SS7 over IP. From this single common platform, the gateways provide a software configurable solution for any SS7 over IP requirement that can grow and change with the needs of the network. The AdaxGW signaling gateway product set includes gateways for SS7/IP switching, routing, tunneling and back-haul, enabling a simple and straightforward migration of existing SS7 Nodes to IP transport, and saving the costs associated with leasing or provisioning dedicated long haul SS7 circuits. All AdaxGWs feature carrier grade reliability, NEBS compliance, redundancy via SCTP multi-homing and MTP3 changeover and High Availability options. The signaling gateways also include SSH and SNMP for built-in security and easy management and provisioning.

The AdaxGWs utilise SIGTRAN protocols including M2PA, M2UA, M3UA and SUA to perform the SS7/IP translation function in different ways. The most appropriate gateway configuration will depend on how the customer wants the SS7 network to operate. Changing network configurations is not a problem. Via simple software upgrades and configurations, the AdaxGWs can meet the needs of your network, providing unparalleled flexibility and protecting your investment.

The AdaxGW signaling gateway is offered in dozens of configuration options. Please use the reference configurations and their associated applications below as a guide to how the gateway can make your implementation of Next Generation IP Signaling successful.
