Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2 Released!

We are happy to announce of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2.

Thanks to all contributors who tested and reported bugs to make this release more solid!

The main focus was to stabilize the stack and change M3UA architecture to get support for IPSP and introduce single exchange as well as double exchange of ASP state maintenance and traffic maintenance messages. Also introduced SCTP library that makes M3UA independent of transport layer.

We hate to change the API in between CR releases, but in this case we had to as M3UA was already blocking the flexibility to add new features and fixes. If you are using M3UA from CR1, I request you to thoroughly read the SCTP and M3UA chapter in docs as also the commands have changed.

Another achievement for CR2 is we removed the polling mechanism from abstract MTP3 layer which was consuming 100% CPU. Rather it now uses the blocking method where thread waits for data to arrive or when the layer ontop wants to send the data. This way CPU load increases gradually with load.

As usual made bug fixes.

Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR1 Released

We are happy to announce first candidate release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR1

This is big step towards the stabilizing SS7 stack. The main focus is to introduce the support for multiple versions of MAP messages for example SMS v1,2 and 3 is supported USSD v2 an v3 is supported. Various error conditions are taken care and stack correctly intimates peer about the error conditions. The stack checks for payload message length before passing it to
lower layer, raising exception if length is greater than acceptable limits. Also M3UA is stabilized and M3UA AS side can initiate connection with peer automatically if the network link between two breaks and comes up again.

The MAP-User can pass the custom invoke timeout when invoking the operation using the overloaded method. Default uses the invoke timeout specified in specification.

-----------------------------------------------

Release includes:

-----------------------------------------------

  • ASN library
  • ss7 protocols including the lowest layer MTP2/MTP3 to higher layer ISUP, SCCP, TCAP and MAP
  • Mobicents Service
  • Mobicents Signaling Gateway
  • Shell Management Interface

For details on stack creation and configuration please refer to docs available online http://www.mobicents.org/ss7/docs.html

Mobicents SS7 Gateway Released!!

Here comes the very first official binary release of Mobicents SS7 Gateway.

What is Mobicents SS7 Gateway?

Mobicents team has been working on SS7 stack for quite sometime now. You will find all the details here. Mobicents also has a high-performance, scalable and fault tolerant JAIN SLEE Server over which we have developed MAP Resource Adaptor (RA) and Java Call Control Adaptor (JCC RA).
There is increasing demand from community and few of our customers to have independent gateway that can take care of MAP messages viz, USSD, SMS and LMS out-of-box, hence the idea of Mobicents SS7 Gateway was born. Initially it was named as Mobicents USSD Gateway, but its much more than just USSD and can take care of LMS and SMS as well. Hence we decided to call it as Mobicents SS7 Gateway. Though the first release BETA1 is only capable of USSD and from BETA2 release it will include other services.

Feature Overview

  • High Level API : Simplified interface for application developers developing applications over USSD, SMS and LMS. The GW communicates over HTTP/SIP and is configurable and hence Application developers need not dive in ocean of SS7. Bellow diagram shows the architecture overview of Gateway (GW)
  • HTTP / SIP API : Once GW is configured to use HTTP or SIP, the XML payload is exchanged between GW and Application over configured protocol.
  • Application systems have no dependency on Operating System or middle-ware tier. The GW sends pure HTTP/SIP messages and Application deployed over any web-server's like JBoss/Tomcat/Microsoft - IIS/Oracle Weblogic/IBM Websphere etc for HTTP and any SIP Server like Mobicents Sip Servlets/SailFin/Cipango/OCCAS can execute the business logic.
  • Tools : GW is bundled with Simulator which helps to simulate the actual MAP messages over M3UA. There is no need to have access to real SS7 environment for development environment increasing the efficiency and turn arround time.
  • Application : The same application can work over any SS7 network connecting to multiple operator's.

Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.BETA9 Released!!

We are very happy to announce release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.BETA9

This release has many changes at SCCP and M3UA level.

SCCP is now capable of taking care of management SubsystemTest, SubsystemProhibited and SubsystemAvailable process. Also the rules configured at SCCP level can now take the expression for Global Title digit matching. SCCP also maintains the remote signaling point and remote subsystem and is capable of failover at point code level (Replicate subsystem). SCCP stack takes care of MTP3 primitives PAUSE, RESUME and STATUS and manages the stack status accordingly.

M3UA has been greatly enhanced and many bugs fixed. This fixes wouldn't have been possible without Donald Walters who helped us test the USSD over M3UA with Cisco ITP Switches. Big thanks to Donald!

Includes other fixes.

Dialogic SS7 with Mobicents

One of the most trusted names in SS7 - Dialogic integrates seamless with Mobicents SS7 stack and Mobicents SLEE Server!

This is most perfect combination where the lower layers of SS7 are taken care by Dialogic who is in industry for many decades and has been tested by various operators across the world and the power of flexible programming comes from Mobicents SLEE Container.

Developing a SS7 Application was never so easy!

Here is blog from Dialogic
