GL Announces Enhanced INAP & CAP Protocol Emulators
Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - GL Communications Inc., announced today its enhanced MAPS™ CAP and MAPS™ INAP Protocol Emulators. These two protocol emulators have been enhanced to include automatic handling of SCCP parameters and low balance call flow scenarios.
Speaking to the press, Mr.Karthik Ramalingam, a Senior Manager for Product Development of the company said, “The Intelligent Network (IN) is a network architecture used in fixed as well as mobile telecom networks. It allows operators to provide value-added services in addition to the standard telecom services such as PSTN, ISDN and GSM services on mobile phones.”
GL's Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS™) is an advanced protocol simulator/tester for INAP services. GL's MAPS™ CAP Emulator can emulate CAP supplementary services such as unified messaging, prepaid, and toll-free (Freephone). These services are available in TDM and IP based GSM, GPRS, and UMTS networks.
Mr.Shelley Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer
He added, “The intelligence is provided by network between functional entities such as Service Control Function (SCF) and Service Switching Function (SSF). Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) and Customized Applications for Mobile Networks Enhanced Logic Application Part (CAP) are the protocols used in Intelligent Networks. INAP is for fixed networks whereas CAP is extended version of INAP and is used for mobile networks. “
Mr. Ramalingam further added, “GL's Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS™) is an advanced protocol simulator/tester for INAP services. The tester supports testing network elements gsmSCF and gsmSSF, error tracking, regression testing, conformance testing, and load testing/call generation. It is able to run pre-defined test scenarios against INAP test objects in a controlled & deterministic manner.
GL's MAPS™ CAP Emulator can emulate CAP supplementary services such as unified messaging, prepaid, and toll-free (Freephone). These services are available in TDM and IP based GSM, GPRS, and UMTS networks. CAP information flow is defined between functional entities such as Service Control Function (SCF) and Service Switching Function (SSF) distributed across network executing services.”
