SIGTRAN Gateway | SS7 over IP Signaling | hSenid Mobile

SIGTRAN Gateway

Seamless SS7 over IP integration for telco operators.

Bridge SS7 signaling over IP networks and reduce your deployment costs. hSenid Mobile's SIGTRAN Gateway is a high-performance, customizable platform built in-house, so you integrate with your existing network to support value added services without costly third-party stacks.

No proprietary SS7 cards. Lower deployment costs.

SS7 to IP transformation

Keep your value added services. Drop the SS7 cost.

SS7 has been the standard for telco integration for over three decades, and your call control and value added services still depend on its core network triggers. SIGTRAN moves that signaling onto less costly IP networks, so you can build new services without the expense of traditional SS7.

The traditional SS7 network

  • !Expensive to use and expensive to expand.
  • !Heavily loaded by the growth of value added services.
  • !Many SIGTRAN stacks rely on expensive, proprietary hardware.
  • !Costly third-party SIGTRAN stacks or SS7 cards to buy.

With hSenid's SIGTRAN Gateway

  • ✓No need to buy expensive third-party SIGTRAN stacks or SS7 cards.
  • ✓An in-house built stack, open for customization.
  • ✓Easy integration with your existing operator network.
  • ✓The most commonly used features with less overhead, reducing the cost of deploying a complex stack.

The full SIGTRAN stack. Built in-house.

A software-based SIGTRAN stack that hides the underlying complexity and opens up APIs, so you integrate services at a much faster rate. It is fully compatible with the SCTP, MTP, SCCP, TCAP and MAP layers for reliability and performance in core telecom functions.

01

No SS7 cards

An in-house built stack removes the need to purchase expensive third-party SIGTRAN stacks or SS7 cards.

02

Open for customization

A highly customizable stack that integrates with your existing operator environment.

03

Less overhead

Built with the features operators use most, with less overhead, reducing the cost of deploying a complex stack.

04

Signaling for VAS

Seamlessly manages the signaling integration your value added services require.

05

HTTP API

Your internal applications use SIGTRAN calls and receive responses from the HLR and MSC over an HTTP API.

06

Ready to expand

A loosely coupled architecture built for future expansion.

Two API layers. Built for future expansion.

The gateway exposes the functions of the SIGTRAN stack you need as API calls, in two layers, giving you a loosely coupled architecture that is ready to grow.

Direct API calls

Rapid application connections

HTTP calls that any application integrated with the SIGTRAN Gateway can make.

SIGTRAN Gateway FAQs

Questions operators ask before they switch.

What is a SIGTRAN Gateway?

SIGTRAN, or SS7 over IP, transports SS7 signals over less costly IP networks. hSenid Mobile's SIGTRAN Gateway is a highly customizable, in-house built software stack that integrates with your existing operator environment and manages the signaling integration your value added services need.

Do we need third-party SIGTRAN stacks or SS7 cards?

No. The in-house built stack removes the need to purchase expensive third-party SIGTRAN stacks or SS7 cards, reducing your deployment costs.

Which protocol layers does it include?

A standard IP layer, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), an adaptation layer (MTP), Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP), Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) and Mobile Application Part (MAP).

How do our applications connect to it?

Through an HTTP API with two layers. Direct API calls are HTTP calls any integrated application can make. Flow API calls are made by the gateway to the core network, with responses returned from the HLR and MSC.

Which API calls are available?

Direct API calls include MtForwardSm, RestoreData, SendAuthenticationInfo, SendImsi, SendRoutingInfo and SendRoutingInfoForLCS, covering MT SMS, subscriber information, authentication vectors, IMSI lookups and MSC location.

Which services can it support?

It has been used for SMSC integrations, USSD Gateway integrations, location-based service platforms, HLR integration for authentication vector extraction, and MNP call control for fixed-line traffic. Book a demo to see how it fits your network.
