TELCOBRIDGES’ SS7 SIGNALING
Over 1000 ISUP Calls per second (CPS)
TelcoBridges’ innovative, ultra performing
System-Blade™ is in a class of its own. It allows
telecom system integrators to compete
effectively by offering a tailor-made option at an
affordable price.
The TelcoBridges’ TB640 system-on-a-blade™
solution has the reliability, flexibility and
superior performance to replace any 8-64 trunk
telecom system with a single blade; bridging
easily up to 1024 trunks with our Multi-Blade™
system.
TelcoBridges’ unique TB640 System-Blade™
offers:
• Easy integration
• Dynamic configuration
• Non-blocking architecture
• Proven flexibility
• High availability
• Unmatched density
• Superior scalability
• Telco-grade redundancy
…simply superior signaling performance
TB-SS7 superior signaling performance has arrived, and
it’s on a blade™ … a TB System-Blade™.
The TelcoBridges’ platform offers a full set of signaling
capabilities from ISDN to CAS to SS7, which can be
configured together, or independently, at any time on
a blade™, without shutting down the system. This
enables swift, flexible connections to multiple
networks, so creating a multi-purpose gateway.
All signaling variations on the TB System-Blade™ are
fully integrated with the required protocol software
and are tested and delivered together.
The SS7 stack on the TB640 System-Blade™ provides an
unparalleled combination of high performance,
superior scalability, plus a dynamic configuration,
allowing TelcoBridges to offer a carrier grade system on
a blade™.
Dynamic Configuration
SS7 links, CICs, OPCs, DPCs and linksets can be added
(or deleted) while the service is running. Multiple SS7
variants can be used on the same blade simultaneously,
and can be added and removed dynamically.
Higher Capacity and Performance
For example, one TB System-Blade™ with SS7 has the
capacity to support 64 links and 30,000 CICs. With its
onboard processing power, a single TB640 System-
Blade™ can run several of the signaling stack layers
and achieve more than 1000 ISUP calls per second
(CPS). The application server controlling the system is
thus freed to perform other tasks.
Superior Scalability and Reliability
By running the SS7 stack on a blade™, you can create a
system that is easily scaled to achieve the overall
system performance and stability required. This is due
to:
• the distributed architecture and its capability
for unequaled N+1 redundancy (TB640);
• the provision of the same point code on
multiple blades;
• the overall number of circuits controlled;
• the number of SS7 links the system can
support, as well as the high number of calls
per second (CPS) the system can achieve with
this architecture.

This distributed architecture capability means the TB
System-Blade™ with SS7 achieves a higher
performance and reliability and than any other system
presently on the market.
