Alcatel-Lucent Launches New Signaling Defense Solution
Posted on: Wednesday, 2 April 2008, 12:00 CDT
Alcatel-Lucent has launched a new signaling defense solution to protect wireline and wireless carrier networks from signaling and SMS based intrusion.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5074 Signaling Defense System (SDS) can be deployed across a carrier's entire network for the protection of its Signaling System Number 7 (SS7) links to other mobile operators. This solution complements the company's 9900 Wireless Network Guardian, which detects IP traffic that threatens the performance of wireless data networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5074 SDS enables a carrier to permit, deny and modify signaling traffic across its network to address the risks associated with widespread interconnection and open access, including phantom traffic, revenue-impacting interoperability issues, SMS spam and hackers.
Dave Geary, president of multicore activities at Alcatel-Lucent, said: "We are pleased to provide our customers with a solution that enables operators to take control of all inter- and intra-carrier signaling and SMS traffic to minimize attacks via converged, open access networks. Our solution ensures network security, reliability, quality of service and revenue assurance for carriers as they provide customers with universal connectivity."
