A GOOD FIT

The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI is a good fit for a variety of service provider types.

Incumbent Local

Exchange Carriers

ILECs can use the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI to consolidate their existing STP infrastructure, thereby minimizing maintenance and operational overhead. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI can also be used to provide signaling services for ILECs moving towards converged networks. Its flexible interfaces allow ILECs to provide signaling services for data, voice or converged networks.

Competitive Local

Exchange Carriers

CLECs can deploy a pair of Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSIs to offer SS7 services in new markets at minimal cost. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI is extremely cost-effective, as well as scalable, so it is the perfect signaling solution for CLECs. Flexible interfaces allow CLECs to provide signaling services for data, voice or converged networks for their own use or to provide these services for other carriers.

Long Distance Carriers (LDCs) — CLDC and XLC LDCs can use the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI either to consolidate their STP networks or to enter new markets. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI can also be used to provide signaling services for LDCs moving towards converged networks. Flexible interfaces allow LDCs to provide signaling services for data, voice or converged networks.

Smaller Carriers

Smaller service providers benefit from the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI’s ability to host a number of database applications and a large number

of links in a single frame configuration.

Wireless Carriers

Wireless carriers can use the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI to provide wireless world roaming with next generation technologies. Alcatel’s comprehensive ALR implementation provides wireless carriers a tool for flexible and efficient network operation, covering HLRs, SMSCs and voice mail/unified messaging systems.
