EWSD Core Components

Setting the standards in power and flexibility
In order to meet market trends, future telecommunication networks will require a powerful switching system. EWSD core products provide the solution.

Switching Network (SN)
The Switching Network is the base of EWSD switching. This is the central point where connections between the origin and the desired destination are created.
If you wish to reduce network hierarchies or streamline your network by employing remote units, then you will need an exchange of enormous size to handle the traffic.
With the latest Switching Network, the SN(D), this is no longer a problem, as the two most characteristic values (ports and Erlang) have reached gigantic values. Additionally the number of LTGs that can be connected to the Switching Network has been increased to 2,016.

Benefits of the SN:

  • Consolidate your network with fewer but larger nodes
  • Smaller footprint
  • Less operation effort
  • Possibility of reducing network layers
  • Future-proof to handle increased subscriber and trunk traffic

Coordination Processor (CP113)
If you have a problem with dynamic load performance within your network, then the Coordination Processor CP113 is the right solution.
The Coordination Processor is responsible for all call processing and routing tasks. It additionally performs common functions such as the coordination of data transfer between the distributed peripheral microprocessors. As a multiprocessor, the CP can be extended to meet all performance requirements. When operating at maximum capacity, the CP113 can handle up to 16 million Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA).

Signaling System Network Control (SSNC)
The demand for SS7 signaling transport capacity is increasing dramatically due to the rapid introduction of features and the growing number of subscribers. Using the SSNC your network will be well prepared to meet this requirement. The Signaling System Network Control (SSNC) is the high-performance EWSD component for SS7 signaling, supporting SS7 over TDM, SS7 over ATM and also SS7 over IP.
Through its modular and scalable design it achieves world-class performance and reliability. The SSNC can be used as Signaling End Point (SEP), as Signaling Transfer Point (STP), or as combined SEP/STP. Furthermore it can work as a stand-alone Signaling Transfer Point and for this the SSNC offers features for accounting traffic and full MTP/SCCP screening.

 

 

 

 

EWSD Periphery Components

Greatest access efficiency
Current trends, the growing number of subscribers and higher bandwidth demand within the telecommunication market mean you will be required to provide high-performance access technology in the near future. Using the elements of the EWSD system periphery, you can easily create a network able to meet these requirements - even in the access area.

Remote Switching Unit (RSU)
The Remote Switching Unit is one of the highlights of EWSD. When streamlining your existing network or designing new networks, RSUs can function as small network nodes, providing the network operator with a varied, flexible and economical solution. Up to 50,000 subscribers or 8,500 trunks, or any combination of these, can be connected to one RSU. The RSU can be located at any distance from the host exchange.

RSU benefits:

Line Trunk Group (LTG)
The Line Trunk Group forms the interface to the switching network for the subscriber and trunk connections. In addition, it performs such functions as receiving dialing information, producing call charge records, line supervision and echo cancellation. The latest type of LTG offers the following advantages:

Digital Line Unit (DLU)
With the newest Digital Line Unit, the EWSD Platform is perfectly prepared for the future. It offers top performance and significant cost savings for the network operator.
Thanks to improvements (e.g. 32-port line card, 16-port ISDN card), the DLU is a leading-edge narrowband access component able to handle rising subscriber traffic (e.g. more subscribers per line card, Internet dial-up).

The main benefits of the new DLU:

Synchronous Transport Module Interface (STMI)
The new STMI component offers a fully integrated STM-1 interface (155 Mbit/s) to the SDH network. It can be used to interconnect switches as well as to connect RSUs or RDLUs to the switch.
In addition, the STMI has trunk and subscriber functions such as echo cancellation, call charge record, line supervision, etc. The STMI also offers an optical or electrical (coaxial) STM-1 interface to the SDH, and an optical or electrical interface to the Switching Network (SN). Using STMI, the footprint is smaller, especially for trunk exchanges )

SURPASS Network Solutions


In a competitive marketplace with growing subscriber demands, the challenge is to offer new services and make sure that revenue is increasing. The only way you can deal with the challenges ahead is to move from today’s circuit-switched network infrastructure to a next generation packet-based network. At the same time, you must maintain current features and revenue during the transition.

The SURPASS approach enables you to sustain and grow your current revenues thanks to seamless integration of the Next Generation Network and its revenue streams. We have combined the best aspects of TDM networks with the best of broadband packet to create a revenue-ready network using five SURPASS solutions:

 


The Solution for Voice over IP BackboningWould you like to concentrate on your end-users and on how to offer them exciting new applications that become business opportunities for you? Would you like to experience the advantages of a consolidated network: a network that gives you more for less? Or would you simply like to offer high-demanding voice services on your data network?

All this is possible without interrupting your existing services and without renouncing your demands for a carrier-grade solution that protects your investments and your customers.

Benefit from significant operational cost savings, from increased efficiency, from the self-routing capabilities of your network, and from an architecture that facilitates introduction of new applications: concentrate on your customers.

SURPASS Virtual Trunking is our solution for introducing Next Generation Network architecture and applications into your transit backbone. SURPASS Virtual Trunking offers unmatched performance when it comes to large-scale traffic volumes. It excels in all key network parameters, including number of simultaneous connections, network ports, signaling links and processing power, as well as the crucial demands for high Quality of Service and best-in-class reliability.

Moreover, interconnectivity to existing networks - one of the most important challenges for network operators - has already been proven with SURPASS Virtual Trunking. Thanks to our worldwide presence in existing networks, we can support the largest number of national and international standards and can provide more than 100 national signaling variants over TDM or IP networks.

We have all the experience and building blocks for a carrier-grade Voice over IP backbone solution. And with SURPASS Virtual Trunking we are putting it in place.

 


Connecting TDM Users to the Next Generation NetworkDramatic changes within the telecommunications industry over the past years have raised many questions concerning future infrastructure investments. Voice services are still your major revenue source, but the increase in Internet usage is drawing off significant investment capital into your data networks, even though these data services generate much less revenue than voice.

You, the operator, face strong competition in deregulated markets and the mostly outdated voice TDM infrastructure forces you to invest in new equipment which saves you costs and brings with it potential for increased revenue.

Is there a way to transition to a future-proof network while keeping the profitable services you now offer? One which will help you gain market share and reduce overall operational costs?

We think so - Packet Local Switch is the SURPASS solution for introducing Next Generation Network architecture directly into the local plane. It combines the power, features, reliability and quality of a local exchange with the bandwidth, flexibility and open interfaces of IP-based data networks. Even better - investment in existing access equipment is protected as this access equipment can be connected to, or converted into, SURPASS components.

Additionally, introducing SURPASS Packet Local Switch lowers significantly your overall operational costs. Optimized use of one backbone network together with fewer managed network elements under one management umbrella, both of which are achieved with SURPASS Packet Local Switch, are two important success criteria.

And of course, SURPASS Packet Local Switch integrates seamlessly into any network topography using existing protocols.

So, if your question is: can I bring the Next Generation Network to the access while providing revenue-generating services and saving costs?

With SURPASS Packet Local Switch you can:

 


Any Service over Your Broadband Subscriber Line Today, we notice that a transformation in the traditional telecommunications marketplace is taking place. Whenever the question of the Next Generation Network comes up, the answer that comes up is invariably: Voice over IP. But VoIP cannot be an end in itself. The goals of any operator remain the same: introduce new services to increase revenues and on the other hand reduce costs. In other words operators must maximize their Return on Assets (RoA). Data revenues may be rising, but they contribute much less to total revenue than voice revenues. On the other hand, your residential customers expect new applications and your enterprise customers are demanding bundled voice and data services.

It’s clear that change is imperative. What if you could use your existing broadband infrastructure and enhance it with revenue generating applications such as - Voice, Unified Messaging, IP Centrex, Video Conferencing, etc.?

Voice over Broadband is the SURPASS solution to provide voice and next generation services and features to packet-based subscriber lines or terminals. It combines the power of today’s PSTN feature-richness and reliability with the higher bandwidth, flexibility and open interfaces of IP-based data networks.

Traffic travels end-to-end over IP: from the user’s terminal via the broadband access, up along the IP network and back. SURPASS Voice over Broadband provides you with a flexible and reliable way to access your customers. It provides you with the Voice over DSL, Voice over Cable, Voice over Anynet, H.323/SIP capabilities that your customers are asking for.

OPEX reduction being one of the main goals, all components of a SURPASS Voice over Broadband solution are managed by a fully integrated management system. This is a key advantage which translates into faster implementation schedules and lower maintenance costs.

So, if your question is: can I add profitable voice features to my broadband access and deliver revenue generating services to my customers?
