KPN Deploys Tekelec ISS

Tier 1 operator KPN International has deployed the Tekelec’s EAGLE 5 integrated signaling system (ISS) to expand its signaling network capacity and enable the transition to an all-IP architecture, the companies said Monday.

KPN provides telephone, Internet and television services to enterprise and residential customers through its fixed network in the Netherlands as well as mobile services across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Western Europe. Replacing its existing out-dated signal transfer points (STPs), KPN selected the EAGLE 5 ISS to provide additional network signaling capacity and integrated applications that will provide a cost-effective transition to the future IMS network architecture, the company said.

The Tekelec EAGLE 5 ISS supports Sigtran (SS7 over IP) signalling. Sigtran provides increased capacity over IP¬, resulting in reduced link quantity requirements, more efficient bandwidth utilization, enhanced services and reduced transport cost.
