Signalware's Comprehensive Standards Compliance Enables Service Expansion
MT. LAUREL, N.J., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VeriSign, Inc., the leading provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, has chosen Ulticom's (Pink Sheets: ULCM.PK) Signalware(R) application development and deployment platform as the foundation for a major upgrade of its international Real-Time Wireless Roaming service, Ulticom announced today.
VeriSign provides international roaming services to major telecom companies, enabling them to provide seamless roaming between networks for traveling subscribers, offering the same features and security abroad as they experience at home.
In this network upgrade, VeriSign relied on Signalware's mobile application protocol ANSI-41 (TIA/EIA-41/IS-41), a Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) standard, to provide the foundation for this next generation of their real-time roaming product. The new platform provides the real-time roaming application with increased reliability and scalability, and has allowed the services to be expanded throughout North and South America.
"We know from working with Ulticom that Signalware is a robust and reliable platform for developing new services," said Kevin Bresnahan, Director at VeriSign. "Signalware already supports our Caller ID and U.S.-based roaming services, so when we needed a signaling solution for our roaming service upgrade, it wasn't a difficult choice to make." Signalware supports SS7 and IP-based mobility, location, payment, switching and messaging services. It enables carriers to deliver current and next-generation applications in the same network as they evolve toward all-IP infrastructures.
"Travelers around the world take their communications services for granted as if they were at home," said Osman Duman, senior vice president and CMO at Ulticom. "We are proud to collaborate with VeriSign in making this value proposition a seamless reality for their subscribers." About Ulticom, Inc.
