THE SOLUTION
Encore Networks’ SignalPath™ 201 and 230 platforms provide a scalable solution to convert ISDN connections from call center and IVR platforms to SS7 links into the cellular network. This prevents the unnecessary tie-up of public network trunks on CO switches for signaling conversion; directly connecting the STAR services to the cellular network.

Encore provides a way to bridge the gap between the ISDN and SS7 based networks, allowing STAR calls on the SS7 network to be routed directly into common ISDN based call centers.

The SP201 converts up to four trunks of ISDN to four trunks of SS7 for handling call volumes of up to 92 simultaneous non-blocking sessions. The SP230 scales from four to 44 trunks, handling call volumes of up to 1,012 simultaneous non-blocking voice sessions. These devices provide a huge operational savings over a central office-based solution.

Encore Networks also supports global signaling variants for both North American and international variants of ISDN and SS7, including R2, C7, R1, ANSI NI 2, and ETSI (Euro) ISDN
