SIGTRAN enables service providers to protect their investment in SS7 equipment and application code while taking advantage of IP-based networks that are less expensive and easier to maintain. SpiderWareSG provides an out-of-the-box SIGTRAN gateway solution for ATCA and 2.16 systems. SpiderWareSG helps telecom OEMs get to market fast with reliable, high-density, low-cost signaling systems that bridge existing SS7 and next-generation IP networks

Complete “Plug and Play” system

SpiderWareSG is a standalone “Plug & Play” product. It requires no change to the SS7 network topology or expensive reconfiguration of SS7 network elements.

Reduced Time to Market

SpiderWare SG comes in a pre-configured state, enabling the blade to plug into a carrier signaling network and provide Signaling Gateway functionality straight out of the box. A comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to rapidly reconfigure the blade for carrier network topologies. Extensive interoperability testing helps minimize incompatibilities with other vendor’s equipment.

Reduce Development Costs and Cost of Ownership

SpiderWareSG provides an off-the-shelf solution that’s ready to plug directly into a 2.16 or ATCA system and provide complete Signaling Gateway functionality. This eliminates the need for time-intensive hardware/software integration and testing. This enables Telecom OEMs to focus their efforts on key value-add, revenue-generating portions of their system. As the product moves through its lifecycle, Emerson maintains both the hardware and software, managing changes in the standards and obsolescence issues reducing the total cost of ownership for telecom OEMs.
