Iskratel presents the SI3000 MSCN Multi-Service Control Node

Introducing the Unique integrated Network Control Solution on a Single Platform

Kranj, December 4th, 2006 – Iskratel, the leading provider of innovative solutions for convergent and IP-based networks, announces the launch of a new, uniquely designed call control, service provisioning and network mediation product – the SI3000 Multi-Service Control Node (SI3000 MSCN).

The SI3000 MSCN integrates multiple functional blocks within a single and compact network control-plane product: call server, application server, signaling gateway, media gateway and media server.

These functional blocks are provided by the following SI3000 MSCN network elements:

• SI3000 Application Server
• SI3000 Call Server
• SI3000 Signaling and Media Gateway

The entire network elements’ functionalities that originate from the Iskratel SI2000 switching product range are enhanced with open, standardized interfaces which enable them to fully integrate with the SI3000 MSAN access nodes. The product is supported by an integrated element and network-wide SI3000 MN management system.

The SI3000 MSCN bridges the gap between existing PSTN networks and IP-based oriented network architectures. The product provides a cost-optimized upgrade option for existing Iskratel SI2000 SN solutions and replacement of Iskratel and other vendors’ network elements using a pay-as-you-grow policy. It provides a maximum protection of previous infrastructure investments.

The operator’s IP-based network, constructed with SI3000 MSCN, is able to play the role of an alternative solution for the transit level of the telephony network. The introduction of advanced voice services into IP-based and PSTN networks gives the operator the opportunity to open new revenue sources and to strengthen its competitive advantages.

The product is designed to answer to ever evolving communication needs of traditional and emerging telecommunication markets.


As the head of Iskratel R&D department Franc Dolenc pointed out: “The SI3000 MSCN presents the highly integrated network control and service provisioning option. A new concept of product functionality design will provide the operators and service providers with the optimal way to introduce crucial advantages of next generation oriented networking.”

Iskratel SI3000 MSCN is ready for the forthcoming TISPAN/IMS network evolution. The included SI3000 Call Server functionality presents the PSTN building blocks of TISPAN architecture. The SI3000 AS acts as a central service deployment and execution block, separating business logic from the underlying network. SI3000 MSCN network elements are evolving into standard TISPAN/IMS entities.

Company Iskratel will be presenting the SI3000 MSCN at the ITU Telecom World event in Hong Kong.
