Large Scale Voice Centric Application Deployments
Usage Scenario:
A service provider needs to deploy a 20 million subscriber VM solution to replace an existing legacy solution. They must migrate subscribers from the legacy network to the new in a seamless fashion and ensure that the network layer can handle up to 150 calls per second. They also require the ability to manage new protocols as they arrive and ensure the network layer is future-proof so new applications can be added at a later date.
ASC SOLUTION: PURPOSE-BUILT ASC
Purpose-Built ASC Approach AppTrigger’s Application Session Controller (ASC) provides a smarter alternative for connecting applications to the network. The ASC’s purpose-built advantage is that it presents to applications a host of abilities in a single network that traditionally required multiple network elements.
The ASC provides:
- Call Control API
- Media termination / conversion
- Signaling termination / conversion
- Switching
- Scale
- Cost effective transactions per second
This single network element offers a greatly simplified solution when compared to general purpose equipment. Not only is there just one system to install and manage, the ASC offers greater control for the application at the network layer. Since applications are tightly integrated with the ASC via APIs, application developers have at their fingertips as much or as little control over the network as needed by the application. In addition, the ASC API provides an abstraction layer that enables the application developer to decide how much of the network the application must have visibility to. For instance, an advanced presence application might need dozens of signaling messages and media control to fulfill the network requirements of the application. On the other hand, a simple calling card application might need two signaling messages and no media control. This wide range of network control is available to the application developer by the ASC because of the switching intelligence directly built into the ASC. This built-in functionality truly enables application developers to quickly and easily build new applications with varying network complexities.
