Sybase IPX 365 is Sybase 365’s new, comprehensive suite of IP services and connectivity options that provide global data roaming (GRX), voice transport (both on-net and off-net), SS7 signaling transport, MMS, and SMS.
Sybase IPX 365 provides a range of technical and commercial features that enable new business models to be implemented.
Secure environment
The IPX is a transparent IP network that is not addressable from the Internet. End-user devices have absolutely no visibility to the IPX. This enables IPX 365 to offer high security for global data roaming (GRX), as well as SS7 signaling, SMS, and MMS interworking transport.
Flexible IP Service interconnection
With the addition of Sybase IPX 365, service providers now have a secure, separate network in which to connect to for any of the Sybase 365 Operator Services: GRX, SMS, MMS, as well as Voice and Signaling.
Cascading payments
Hubbing makes the IPX Service-aware. This enables not only the one-to-many connectivity but it also manages the flow of information necessary for SLA reporting and financial settlements to be made between all participating operators.
Premium quality environment
Traffic can be managed with Quality of Service (QoS) levels and performance to mutually agreed SLAs. For example, voice traffic will require very high QoS, whereas email or streaming content will not require such high QoS.
Wholesale Voice Transport
As a platform for the exchange of international wholesale voice, Sybase IPX 365 offers some interesting benefits.
Long-distance quality control – Controlling the quality of a voice call becomes more and more difficult with eve ry conversion to and from IP, with latency adding up over network distance and at every point of conversion. Keeping a call on IP ensures that latency stays within user acceptable parameters. But looking at it from a more abstract level, routing voice calls across an IPX ecosystem also means that by GSMA requirement, a destination network is never more than two IPXs away. In the world of IP peering, the term “IDD” starts to lose its meaning.
Cost reduction – It is quite common for a Service Provider to have multiple interconnects, with carriers as well as with bilateral partners. Moving to IPX provides the opportunity to reduce the number of interconnects – and the associated cost. Transparency – In the world of TDM, traffic often gets handed off many times before reaching its destination. IPX is transparent by definition: visibility of routing, service performance and commercial arrangements will all be offered based on well-defined principles.
