ATM/T1 High-Speed Links

Intelligent network applications require increasing network capacity. By supporting High-Speed Links (HSLs), as shown in Figure 1, the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI provides connectivity with fewer transmission facilities, reduces signaling latency for faster signaling response time, and delivers higher message capacity, overcoming signaling link-set limitations. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI gives providers these network benefits without sacrificing SS7 connectivity and signaling.

T1 cards support signaling ATM adaptation layer (SAAL) for transport of ATM messages to MTP layers (MTP2 and MTP3) of the SS7 protocol, as shown in Figure 1.

Flexible Routing

Flexible Routing is Alcatel’s patented message detection and routing framework for the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI. Within this framework, the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI can perform numerous type of applications, such as Number Portability or Application Location Register (ALR).
