INS, Onvoy tap Tekelec for SS7 network management

Iowa Network Services (INS) and Onvoy Voice Services have employed Tekelec to monitor their jointly-owned SS7 network to monitor the increased presence of IP and VoIP traffic traversing their respective networks. The two service providers will leverage Tekelec's Integrated Applications Solution (IAS) to monitor, correlate and report on multi-protocol network traffic to deliver intelligence information for troubleshooting and traffic management. Tekelec is not a stranger to INS. INS already leverages Tekelec's EAGLE SS7 to deliver wholesale SS7 services to other Local Exchange Carriers, CLECs and wireless operators.

In May, INS and Onvoy replaced their former network management product with the IAS solution, which can conduct network monitoring and reporting in both the legacy SS7 and next-gen SIP domains. Tekelec says the IAS can provide service providers troubleshooting capabilities and KPIs to support traffic management, security and wireless services and SMS. What's more, the IAS can support both TDM and VoIP network with a common set of applications so service providers with blended networks can conduct real-time performance management.
