F5 Networks has announced the version 4.0 of the F5 Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC). F5’s Traffix SDC solution helps service providers control and manage network signaling in LTE networks and provides connectivity between legacy home and roaming networks with its Signaling System 7 (SS7) interworking function (IWF).
F5’s Traffix SDC solution has been fully compliant with IETF, 3GPP, and GSMA standards. SDC 4.0 provides enriched functionality, efficient redundancy mechanisms that enable SDC sites to achieve higher performance rates. Traffix SDC 4.0 other features include extended protocol support for RADIUS, LDAP, and other legacy protocols.
“2012 was an exciting year as the Traffix SDC solution was deployed in more than 25 sites among tier 1, tier 2, and IP Exchange (IPX) carriers worldwide. This reflects that service providers understand the value of a Diameter signaling solution to ensure network resilience, increase quality, and enhance performance,” said Ben Volkow, VP of Product Development at F5. “Traffix began the year by becoming part of the F5 organization, gaining both significant financial backing and a stronger delivery and support structure to enhance our technologically-advanced product to customers. This latest release of the Traffix SDC solution is another example of how our deep expertise in Diameter enables our customers to benefit from much higher performance and lowers the investment bar for LTE.”
