Strategic Insights -

ADC, a leading supplier of global telecommunications software, has partnered with MasterMind Technologies to provide its NewNet Connect7 Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) platform to MasterMind on an OEM basis. Under this agreement, ADC will provide NewNet Connect7 as the underlying SS7 platform to build and enhance MasterMind's MM7 platform, which has been deployed in the Philippines since September 1999.
