Traffix Announces its Distributed Signaling Grid (G-SDC) as Part of its Diameter Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC) for LTE Networks

Carriers Benefit from Distributed Network Routing With Centralized Management for Reliable Top Performance and Optimized Network Resource Allocation

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, New Jersey, July 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Traffix Systems, the Diameter control plane experts, today announced its
Distributed Signaling Grid (G-SDC) consisting of an intelligent contextual
routing layer that unifies multiple Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller
[http://www.traffixsystems.com/sdc.html ] (SDC) nodes into a single,
network-wide distributed system with centralized management. Based on
field-deployed proven technology, the Traffix G-SDC offers a holistic
approach for all network-wide signaling, particularly beneficial for large
carrier networks with multiple network data centers.

    Designed for large scale carrier networks supporting multi-site, policy
deployment requirements, the Traffix G-SDC provides carriers with a powerful
signaling "cloud" enabling each element to interconnect to any point,
efficiently routing its signaling traffic without concern for network
resource availability. This cloud-like configuration for signaling exceeds
large carrier's requirements for LTE network performance.

    "As LTE is deployed and data use surges, signaling traffic grows
exponentially and operators will need new tools to handle large signaling
surges. The Traffix G-SDC can simplify and harmonize networks to maintain
reliability and scalability," commented Sue Rudd, Director Service Provider
Analysis at Strategy Analytics. "This is a welcome solution for large scale
deployments that should lower operational and capital expenses and provide
interoperability with legacy 2.5 and 3G networks."

    The Traffix Distributed Signaling Grid is constantly aware of
interconnecting node availability, and is able to shift signaling flows to
servers based on their availability and capacity. Simultaneously, it
maintains network-wide, distributed state information enabling all the
signaling routing components to work in harmony. Its built-in throttling
capabilities actively monitor and manage traffic from each node, limiting
throughput to servers based on their rated capacity. In situations of
overload, the G-SDC can detect which packets should be dropped to prevent
servers from overwhelming the network, leading to outages.

    When carriers deploy the Traffix Distributed Signaling Grid, the message
origin or subscriber location is irrelevant - it will always be routed to
the correct server or service," said Lenny Ridel, CTO at Traffix Systems.
"This advanced dynamic routing technology guarantees throughput, minimize
latency and downtime. As a result, the LTE network performs consistently and
predictable, coordinated to perfection despite the huge scale of many data
centers and the distributed nature of the signaling flows."

    About Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC)
[http://www.traffixsystems.com/sdc.html ]

    As a single Diameter platform, the Traffix SDC offers operators
cost-effective scalability, instant connectivity of all interfaces, and
comprehensive control of IP-based signaling while saving up to 70% on OPEX
and CAPEX. As a future-proof, end-to-end solution, the SDC already supports
over 50 Diameter interfaces for more than a dozen widely-used protocols such
as RADIUS, LDAP, XML, JMS and others. On top of the cost and time
efficiencies of one platform and one configuration, the SDC brings new
functionalities to enhance operational and marketing capabilities such as
patented subscriber context-awareness to extract business intelligence from
real-time signaling and a management tool for wide visibility into the
network for 24/7 troubleshooting.
