At DIGITALK, we understand that to achieve service flexibility
and speed, providers require a solution that provides the network, service and
business support capabilities necessary for rapid service deployment, rollout
and innovation. In an era of continuing convergence and cost reduction, service
providers also need solutions that enable the migration to next generation
networking while maximising the return on existing infrastructure investments.
To achieve these aims, the DIGITALK Multiservice Platform
enables service providers to deploy a range of applications over NGN IP and
traditional TDM networks with a full suite of network operations and business
support modules and interfaces.
The DIGITALK Multiservice Platform offers a highly scalable,
high performance, high availability service platform, operating from a small
footprint solution to a large scale multi-node deployment. Full hardware
redundancy is built into the solution design from power supplies and network
interfaces up to service component redundancy and load balancing to provide the
basis for carrier grade service reliability. The key elements of the
DIGITALK Multiservice Platform are:
-
Media Application Server: An all IP service execution environment that can
be deployed as a standalone service platform or integrated with an operator’s
existing NGN or IMS environment. The Media Application Server is supported by
the DIGITALK SIP Proxy for user agent registration and session load balancing.
-
Intelligent Switch: A hybrid TDM / IP service execution environment
that can be deployed standalone or integrated within an operator’s existing
PSTN and / or NGN environment.
-
Service Creation: In addition to DIGITALK’s range of service-ready
applications, Service Providers can exploit the extreme flexibility of the
STUDIO service creation environment to create and adapt.
-
Operations Support: The DIGITALK MSP includes full network and
service provisioning and monitoring facilities, including least cost carrier routing,
to enable Service Providers to configure applications for immediate service rollout.
-
Business Support: The DIGITALK MSP additionally offers real-time
retail and wholesale service rating for both prepaid and post-paid services
supported by tariff management, balance management, on-line payments and
business reporting.
The DIGITALK Multiservice Platform is deployed
as a complete hardware and software solution with the infrastructure necessary
to enable immediate service rollout. In addition to the core Media Application
Server or Intelligent Switch service execution environments described above,
DIGITALK solution deployments include some or all of the following components:
-
Data Server: Fully redundant, high performance data servers
are used to support all active data requirements of the Multiservice Platform.
DIGITALK has extensive experience of designing and deploying large scale Data
Server solutions for customers.
-
Web Server: The DIGITALK Web Server supports
web-based network, service and customer care applications.
-
Payments Server: The DIGITALK Payments Server supports integration with
on-line e-commerce services, including Paypoint, Retail Decisions and Servebase.
-
Replication Server: The DIGITALK Replication Server provides an off-line
store of operations and business data as a basis for data archiving and reporting,
whether using DIGITALK Reports or third party reporting applications.
