Applications

SS7 Codecs include a C++ based SS7 message encoding and decoding (codec) framework developed some years ago. Since message parsing functions are now internal to the OpenSS7 SS7 stack, these codecs are not used. There are a lot of people still downloading them however...

The GSM/MAP HLR GPRS project is a project to provide an HLR with GPRS capabilities for the OpenSS7 stack. This project uses the OpenSS7 stack to provide a 6-million subscriber HLR using a blade architecture. This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

The SMSC project is a project to produce an SMSC based on the GSM/MAP HLR capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack and other packages such as Kannel. This project will provide both an SMSC client (i.e., MSC) as well as SMSC server (i.e., HLR) side. The project provides libraries and extensions for integrating the SMSC with web-enabled services. This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

The IN (800/CMS/CLASS/CNAM/LIDB) project is a project to provide an IN interface library which provides a framework and applications for 800, CMS, CLAS, CNAM, LIDB services. These applications are intended to run stand-alone, or in conjunction with the switch-based application projects below (OpenSwitch, Asterisk). This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

This project provides LNP capabilities (INAP-based query) applications and application support for the OpenSwitch and Asterisk projects. This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

This project builds on the LNP and CNAM and LIDB projects above to provide ENUM access to PSTN number databases. It also provides some location and relocation services capable of being provided beneath ENUM. This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

This project provides a complete AIN/CS INAP call model for the OpenSwitch project. This is a JAIN compatible framework which will permit the OpenSwitch project to provide standard, feature rich Class 5 functionality and yet interwork with PSTN network-based AIN/INAP services. This project focuses on the ISUP, SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes M3UA, SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

The OpenSwitch project is a project to develop an Open Source SoftSwitch. A SoftSwitch is a device which provides call control for both traditional and next generation network technologies based on open signalling and communciations protocols. This project leverages on some of the enabling projects listed above. This project focuses on the ISUP, SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes M3UA, SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

The Asterisk PBX is an Open Source project which provides a software-based PBX functionality. (Hey, it would be the first time that a PBX grew into a telephone switch.) This project is to add SS7 FGD trunking capabilities to the Asterisk PBX as enabled by the OpenSS7 SS7 and IP stacks. This project focuses on the ISUP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes M3UA for distribution, redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.

The Kannel project is an Open Source SMS project. Currently Kannel has been lacking in its inability to query SMSC using the SS7 network. This project leverages both the SMSC project above as well as the Kannel work to integarte Kannel into the SMSC. This project focuses on the SCCP and TCAP capabilities of the OpenSS7 stack. It utilizes SUA and TUA for redunancy and reliability and supports TALI integration to Tekelec IP7 and other TALI compliant products.
