Signaling control system for telecom core network operations

Transforming operators' core signaling networks into easy to manage, cost-efficient and future-proof. Tietoevry's ESC acts as a single replacement for solutions like DRA, DEA, STP and SS7.

Smarter signaling, routing and control

Tietoevry's Evolved Signaling Controller (ESC) is an all-in-one solution that seamlessly handles signaling control and routing in 2G, 3G and 4G networks as well as the upcoming 5G network.

It allows network operators to reuse capacity easily when traffic moves from legacy to modern networks, and also serves as a single replacement for solutions like signaling transfer point (STP), signaling relay point (SRP), intelligent signaling gateway (SGW), diameter routing agent (DRA) and diameter edge agent (DEA). It also includes signaling firewall functionality to protect networks from security threats.

Multi-featured

Extensive optional features for richer data and control.

Cost-effective

By using the ESC network, operators are ready to transition at any time.

Key features

All-in-one signaling routing

Includes STP/SRP/SGW, DRA and DEA combined functionality for 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G signaling.

Network security

Advanced signaling firewall functionality covering both SS7/Sigtran and diameter traffic to protect network from security threats.

Scalable Containerized Network Virtualization

Our telecom product portfolio includes a containerized, cloud-ready, platform-agnostic solution, enhancing core network virtualization to meet scalability needs. Our portfolio is compatible with systems like VMware and OpenStack, offering a more flexible and efficient deployment also in containerized environments.

Extensive SMS handling

Dedicated features related to handling of SMS such as: routing and screening based on SMS content, screening of SMS text, first delivery attempt, SMPP Gateway and SMS home routing.

Number portability

The number portability feature provides full support for mobile number portability according to 3GPP standards that can either use local database or external connected over LDAP.

Steering of roaming

Steering of roaming feature enables operators the possibility to decrease roaming costs and improve roaming user experience by selecting the best visiting network in real time.
