Squire Technologies, providing NGN and TDM telecommunication products and solutions recently announced that both ICPs (Integrated Communication Providers) and CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) will greatly benefit by centralizing multiple carrier signaling termination via an STP solution.

By leveraging “Signaling Aggregation,” providers will now be able to manage signaling from one central point. It will also save them from establishing and managing multiple POP (Point Of Presence) connections, which will result in cost savings and Reduced Operational Expenditure. Once centralized, this opens a new range of secondary opportunities to streamline AIN services.

Access to the SS7 Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) will provide providers with beneficial services such as Caller Name ID CNAM, LNP (Local Number Portability) & 800 and is essential to generating more revenue.

However, most providers are not aware of these benefits and end up spending large amounts of money through the rental charges and extra “dipping fees” which they pay the major carriers such as TNSi, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile (News - Alert). When they have a centralized STP controlling the signaling, “inline dipping” of AIN services will enable previously unsupported switches to access CNAM and LNP dips directly from the providers network at significantly reduced rates.

In a release, Joe Williamson, sales manager, Americas, Squire Technologies said, "We work closely with our clients on their existing infrastructure to deliver the future of our industry today, ensuring a significant Return On Investment (ROI) for our customers and maximizing the value of our products and services throughout the US."

Squire Technologies' SVI-STP Signaling Transfer Point, provides operators with the ability to deploy signaling aggregation, manage a single SS7 interconnect and enable the provision of inline dipping. Apart from accelerating future network development, it also results in visible cost savings.
