Applicata SS7 to HTTP/gRPC Gateway
What Is SS7 to HTTP/gRPC Gateway
SS7 to HTTP/gRPC Gateway is a software that stays between SS7 related applications and services and the nodes/services in core networks. It:
- Converts SS7 messages coming from SS7 networks to HTTP messages with JSON payload or gRPC messages and sends them to applications
- Converts HTTP messages with JSON payload or gRPC messages coming from applications to SS7 protocol messages and sends them to nodes and services in the core networks
Features
SS7 Stacks features
SCTP multi-homing mode, Multiple ASP in single AS, Multiple IPSP in single AS, Single ASP serving multiple AS
Possibility to manage SCCP protocol that includes the implementation of UDT/UDTS/XUDT/XUDTS messages and the their segmentation support (0 e 1 classes as per ITU Q.713)
Set of CAP/MAP operations and parameters
Includes the most frequently used set of CAP/MAP operations/parameters. This set is extendable on customer requests.
Incoming and Outgoing dialogs
Full support for CAP/MAP request, indication, response and confirmation messages.
Service High Availability
Dual-resilient configuration option.
Extendable Performance
Multiple Instances, Load-balancing and load protection control.
Handles 10000+ messages per second
Monitoring Interface
Maintains large set of gauges and counters, Support for Prometheus.
Benefits
Low cost
The Gateway includes SS7 protocol stacks and is distributed in source code and binaries form under AGPL license terms.
The software is not limited to specific server and transition rates and can be used company-wide.
Short Development Timey
The development can be done using the preferred programming language using the popular HTTP or gRPC protocol and easy to handle JSON or gRPC API.
Support
Applicata offers professional services for maintenance and support for handling change requests for implementing additional SS7 messages and parameters.
Use Case Scenarios
- Middleware between SS7/Services and SS7 Core network.
- Simulator of the remote network nodes during the Application/Services development.
- Testing Tool for running script-based functional pre-acceptance, acceptance, penetration and periodic testing of services and nodes in SS7 core networks.
