We take a collaborative, holistic approach to addressing your signaling challenges
by listening to your needs and leveraging all of our corporate resources.
Our customers depend on Ulticom as an extension of their own organization. This
reduces internal development costs, accelerates time-to-market, and leverages global
best-practices such as a certified TL9000 quality management system and an Agile
software development model. Our approach offers you the cost advantages of outsourcing
with the flexibility, control, and quality of insourcing.
Customer Collaboration
For over 35 years, Ulticom has enabled our customers to successfully adapt to market
change by collaborating to build customized signaling solutions. Our solutions provide
the competitive advantage you need to win in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Our ability to adapt our business practices, products, and services distinguishes
our business model and defines our corporate identity.
We constantly look for new opportunities that enable us to creatively collaborate
with customers. Our Solutions Engineers ensure that our products and services can
be adapted to deliver creative solutions for new customer requirements. If additional
technologies or resources are required to create that winning solution, we will
identify and integrate best-of-breed third party products.
Our customer collaboration has resulted in optimized signaling solutions that have
been implemented in a multitude of networks elements across network access, core,
and service delivery planes. They continue to supplement our ever-expanding solution
portfolio. This work focuses Ulticom on new cutting-edge solutions across the entire
converging and next-generation service spectrum.

load balancing for servers of varying capability and congestion levels.
- Handling Circuit Specific Traffic in the Context of a Soft Switch:
Application of IETF standard signaling gateway capabilities for softswitch network
deployments.
- Switch Migration Without Pain: Use of the signaling gateway features,
including point code emulation (PCE) for migration from traditional circuit switches
to modern softswitches.
- A Cost Effective Alternative to International Signaling Gateways:
Methods to enable cross network access for services not native to a particular signaling
network
- Moving to SIGTRAN Without Costly Upgrades in Legacy STPs: Use of
an STP or SG as a border element, using point code translation and screening features
to ensure cross network addressing restrictions such as black-listing.
- Avoiding Short Message Melt-Down: Use of features that enable real-time
routing decisions based upon message content.
- Islands of Optimal Network Capabilities: Use of a signaling gateway
as a virtual STP to create subnetworks that optimize performance and localize addressing
for security purposes.
- Overcoming Legacy STP Momentum: Network equipment and service provider
customers can ride the Moore's Law wave as succeeding generations of powerful open
computing platforms replace traditional big iron STPs.
- Deploy New Services with Minimal Impact: Features of the Ulticom
STP product that address network enhancement by extending the edge of the signaling
network.
- Migrating to SIGTRAN Incrementally: Use of the Ulticom STP to migrate
selected network elements to SIGTRAN without requiring retrofit-investment in traditional
STP equipment.
- Architect to Survive a Disaster: A strategy to deploy the Ulticom
STP with geographic distribution of the STP and the network elements that reside
behind it.
