GPRS and UMTS Solutions

Shorten your time to revenue and build future-safe solutions that meet the carrier-class requirements of scalability, reliability and performance. The Aricent Frameworks are source code technologies, which can be easily customized to meet specific requirements. Low implementation and operating costs and customization services ensure a perfect-fit to the customer on their platform of choice.

2.5 GSN (GSN-Lite):
The GSN-Lite solution from Aricent is a GPRS Support Node targeted towards small-sized GPRS networks. It is a fully manageable, cost-effective platform engineered to facilitate easy deployment in corporate and community GPRS networks. Aricent's GSN-Lite also supports all its signaling and data interfaces over the Internet Protocol (IPv4) to provide seamless integration with packet-based networks.

Integrated Iu Interface Solution for 3G Networks:
The integrated Iu interface product from Aricent, is unique, as it goes beyond the traditional protocol stack. The UMTS Iu interface enables interconnection of Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) with Core Network nodes. Aricent has introduced industry's first distributed and highly scalable Iu interface solution. This solution enables OEMs to build high capacity 3G nodes faster. A value added software solution, the Iu interface is available in two separate packages Iu-Ps and Iu-Cs for Packet Switched and Circuit Switched domains respectively. The Iu-Cs interface interconnects between the MSC/VLR and the RNC network nodes while the Iu-Ps interface provides interconnection between the SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) and the RNC network nodes in UMTS/3G networks. The Iu is offered as an integration of standards-based RANAP (CS and PS), SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Part), implemented over either SIGTRAN (for IP network nodes) or Broadband SS7 (ATM transport). The ALCAP (AAL2 Signaling Stack) and GTP-U are also offered as optional elements. The product offering includes RANAP (Radio Access Network Application Part) encoding/decoding, Iu connection management for all connection-less and connection-oriented messages, error Indication procedures, as well as complete handling of reset and reset resource elementary procedures. This solution is extensible and portable, and is ideal for implementation on an embedded platform, host-based system - ranging from high-end to low-end systems.

Iub, Iur and Uu interfaces:
Aricent has introduced integrated Iub, Iur and Uu interfaces, that go beyond the traditional protocol stack products by providing a highly scalable integrated solution. These solutions enable OEMs to build the following nodes faster - 3G SGSN, 3G MSC and RNC.

3G SGSN:
The Aricent 3G SGSN Software Offering is targeted towards OEMs, to help them build, test and deliver their 3G solutions faster and at lower cost to their Service Provider customers.
The 3G SGSN integrates industry-leading interface stack solutions, viz., the GMM, SM, IuPS, MAP /SS7, BSSAP+ & GTP.
