11 February 2016 – Adax, an industry leader in high-performance signaling and packet-processing infrastructure, has released a new addition to its SCTP product which delivers secure authentication with high performance and network visibility. This is in light of the fact hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in SS7 networks which enable them to breach and hi-jack the connection, which is a serious concern for operators.

15 January 2016 – When it comes to Location-Based and Value-Added services, reliability remains a main priority for application developers. As a result, the ‘traditional’ SS7 signalling service is prospering, underpinning many ‘next generation’ fixed and mobile services. Due to demand, Adax, the industry leader in packet-processing and network infrastructure, has launched the TCAP Microstack, a complete SIGTRAN solution for mobile and intelligent network services.

Robin Kent, director of European operations at Adax, an industry leader in telecom network infrastructure, argues that operators facing a surge in traffic aren’t adequately prepared for the future.
Mobile operators need to be fully prepared for the global rise in LTE subscriptions and the new signaling concerns this presents.

12 November 2015, Reading, UK – Adax, an industry leader in high-performance signaling and packet-processing infrastructure, has enhanced its LTE EPC capabilities through joining forces with ecosystem partners to offer operators a complete network solution.
These partnerships provide communication service providers with greater vendor options based on their criteria and relationships, enhancing their ability to deliver customised services. The complete network solution for fixed wireless includes the CPE bridge mode, the eNodeBs tailored for the terrain and CPE compatibility, as well as the Adax EPC core elements, with options for 3rd party HSS and PCRF nodes, completed with a customer care and billing system.
Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) has continued to grow and prove popular across many industries in today’s connected world. Telecommunications is one such industry that is reaping the benefits it offers. According to a whitepaper from Linux Foundation, the main goal of NFV is to increase service agility while enabling better asset utilization’[i]. However, this goal often gets lost in the search for a ‘software only’, NFV/SDN solution without really understanding the needs of individual networks and applications.

If you were to talk to your average mobile phone user, 4G LTE access and Over-The-Top (OTT) applications would be at the top of their list in terms of what they demand from their network operator and handset. We’ve heard for many years now that SMS is in terminal decline, voice calls are dying a slow death and that an all-IP network has taken over and will continue to dominate. But is this really the case?

The need to be connected to the ‘smarter world’ is ever increasing with the rise in the number of mobile devices. LTE is now a global reality for millions of subscribers and the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) is well and truly upon us. While this opens up a variety of opportunities for network operators, it also comes with a warning. With the vast increase in the number of connected devices; effective policy and traffic management capabilities have become key demands for carriers and, as such, network intelligence is more important than ever.

The number of devices globally with access to 4G/LTE is constantly rising. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that is front of mind among tech aficionados and the demand from end users to be connected to the ‘smarter world’ is ever increasing. But there are consequences that this surge in traffic and the huge number of devices and subscribers accessing the network have for operators.
Network operators that are unprepared will be faced with a potentially severe ‘bottleneck’ in their network. There are basic issues with Diameter signaling that threaten to cause mass disruption to the network, which could lead to a diminished Quality of Experience (QoE) for network subscribers and also a potential loss in revenue for the operator.
As LTE is deployed worldwide, seamless communications amongst all forms of devices and access methods to the All-IP LTE core are advancing daily. There are now more new services, at higher speeds, and with greater reliability than ever before. These advances bring new revenue opportunities but also new and advanced security threats. Historically, carrier-grade telecom networks have had an excellent record for user and network security, however, today’s communications infrastructure is more vulnerable than its predecessors. The internet is becoming an integral part of all communications. With corporate network security breaches everywhere affecting millions of users, networks must address security at all levels.
