ASC Overview
An Application Session Controller (ASC) is a network element that sits between the application cloud and the converging network/ control layer to provide and manage connectivity to the evolving network for multiple applications. It is a purpose built, highly scalable, carrier grade network element that enables legacy, intelligent network (IN), IP and next generation IMS applications to be immune from the ever evolving network. It insulates enhanced applications from the network via a programmable network abstraction engine, thereby providing the application consistent call/session control functions independent of each network.
ASC Benefits:
- Purpose-Built Functionality
- Increased ARPU
- Cost Savings: Reduced CAPEX/OPEX
- Preserves Investment Along Path to IMS
Additional Information:
Simply stated, the ASC is a better way to develop and deploy applications in a voice network. AppTrigger’s Ignite™ Application Session Controller is a critical network element which is purpose built and incorporates a number of open standard APIs, plus the signaling, media and the feature inter-working between disparate networks that converged and consolidated applications require. It is scalable to support tens of millions of subscribers via a single system or via clustering and provides the necessary calls/transaction per second required for large-scale multi-network environments.
