<title>Mobile Networks - Evolving to all-IP Backbone</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R331-168.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[Mobile operators have made substantial investments in legacy protocols. Third generation (3G) data networking have brought carriers into the IP world and fourth generation (4G) data will require an all-IP backbone. Though a considerable amount of knowledge about IP has been accumulated within mobile operators, their IP investment is relatively young when compared to both IP itself and their respective legacy protocols and infrastructure.  
This report targets primarily network design teams within mobile operators and assumes that the reader has a good understanding of IP protocols and related technologies; it addresses most, if not all, of the problems and questions that such teams will face while evolving a legacy backbone into an all-IP one. More specifically, the following subjects are addressed:

<description> <![CDATA[A softswitch, an abbreviated form of &lsquo;software switch&rsquo;, is a generic term for any open application program interface (API) software that is used to bridge a traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), by linking PSTN to IP (Internet Protocol) networks and managing traffic that contains a mixture of voice, fax, data and video. 
  
A softswitch separates call control functions of a phone call from the media gateway (transport layer). Softswitches are able to process signaling for all types of packet protocols. Softswitch is a software-based switching platform based on open systems as against traditional proprietary hardware-based switches. Softswitch is also called media gateway controller, call agent and gatekeeper.
