What is an ITP?
IP-enabled core STP (SS7 router) & Signaling Gateway
Integrated high-capacity IP and SS7 routing in one box
A core STP with:
Carrier Grade reliability with Low Power & Small Footprint
Traditional TDM-based plus next-generation STP with SS7oIP
Integrated applications such as Number Portability and Flexible
Numbering and Equipment Identity Register (EIR)
A Signaling Gateway with:

Flexible range of platforms to suit all operator needs
Strong SMS routing capabilities with MLR
Strong partnership with messaging and IN vendors
ITP Overview
ITP Market History

ITP released to the market in June 2001
ITPs are deployed as either core STPs, Signaling
Gateways, or more frequently, in both roles together
ITPs have been widely deployed in mobile, wireline,
cable and CLEC environments worldwide
Key drivers for ITP deployments include subscriber
growth, new services, text messaging, pre-paid, VoIP,
transition to IP-based signaling, etc
Increasingly ITPs are used to deploy applications for the
operator: such as number portability; messaging; flexible
numbering and application-level routing
ITP Overview
Core Signaling Requirements

Requirement

ITP Overview
ITP - Key Features

Investment Protection
Traditional STP vendors are imposing expensive end-of-life
upgrades which will require forklift upgrades
ITP supports traditional TDM and ATM signaling as well as
combining with IP signaling in a single platform
ITP supports mixed link types within a linkset to allow smooth
network migrations to IP
ITP includes required features (e.g. GTT) in the base price
Scalable SS7 Applications

Traditional STP devices are not able to scale their applications
because they use proprietary or embedded hardware
Investment constraints means their applications are limited in
both scalability or richness of features
ITP Overview
ITP - Key Features

Industry Leading Value
Best price/performance for legacy and IP based signaling
Low power consumption, small footprint, affordable services
ITP is only STP to support both SS7 and IP routing protocols
Network Management and Flexibility

Flexible any-to-any as well as application layer routing
Easily add capacity for new revenue-generation service
deployment using MLR and an ITP signaling gateway
Implement triggerless services by the use of MLR
IP-based network monitoring and provisioning improve
operational efficiencies over traditional approaches
