Standard Compliance

Here we detail the standards with which the Tango iAX PCC complies. It contains the following sections:

  • Diameter

  • SS7

  • IP Interfaces

Diameter

The Tango iAX PCC supports the following Diameter interfaces:

  • IETF Diameter RFC 4006/3583

  • Diameter SCAP (Ericsson proprietary interface)

SS7

The Tango platform uses an industry-standard SS7 product for ITU-T/ANSI SS7 signalling. The following physical interfaces are provided on the plug-in PCI cards:

  • E1 interfaces per ITU-T: G703, G704, G821. Balanced or unbalanced

  • T1 interfaces per ITU-T: G.703, G.704

  • The SS7 stack supports the following signalling protocols and versions, all of which have been extensively tested in network scenarios:

  • ITU-T (“Blue book” and “White book”), MTP2, MTP3 (Q.701-Q.708), SCCP (Q.711 to Q.714), TCAP (Q.771 to Q.775).

  • ANSI (1992) MTP2, MTP3 (T1.111.1 - T1.111.8), SCCP (T1.112.x), TCAP (T1.114.x)

  • GSM 03.66 MAP (Phase 2+), version 7.1.0, support for Mobile Number Portability

  • GSM 09.02 MAP (Phase 2+), version 7.5.1 and earlier

  • IS-41 MAP

IP Interfaces

The Tango iAX PCC supports the following IP-based interfaces:

  • A subset of MGCP 1.0 as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

  • Sigtran

  • GTP v.0 and GTP v.1

  • SMPP

  • CORBA

  • SOAP/XML

  • PARLAY

  • UCP

  • Diameter Credit-Control

Policy & Charging Control

The Tango iAX PCC supports the following 3GPP Policy and Charging Control standards:

  • Policy and Charging Control Architecture - 3GPP TS 23.203 V9.3.0

  • Policy and Charging Control Signalling Flows - 3GPP TS 29.213 V9.3.0
