Performance Technologies and Motorola Collaborate on High Availability SS7/IP Signaling Gateway Solutions

Strategic Insights -

Performance Technologies, Inc. and Motorola Computer Group are partnering to develop and sell high-availability SS7/IP signaling gateway solutions for Motorola's Aspira 3G total communications solutions. This collaboration is expected to generate multi-million dollar annual revenues for PTI over the next five years. The joint solution will provide a highly reliable, integrated hardware and software wireless signaling gateway for Motorola's Global Telecom Solutions Sector, which is developing the Aspira architecture.

The partnership will combine PTI's state-of-the-art MicroLegend SS7/IP distributed software architecture stack and CompactPCI CPC380 network I/O access modules with MCG's high-availability, Linux-based, CompactPCI CPX8216 hardware platform. This integrated solution will enable true peer-to-peer wireless communications and client-server operations for wireless network operators. The partnership is a key factor in the GTSS decision-making process, as PTI's signaling gateway software can represent multiple IP network devices as a single point code in the SS7 network, and PTI has experience and strong support for open industry standards such as SCTP.
