ADAX CONTROLLER SUPPORTS NETHAWK EAST ATCA MIGRATION

29 May 2008, Reading, UK – Adax Europe Ltd, an industry leader in high performance signaling infrastructure, has announced that its HDCIII-AMC solution is being used in ATCA compliant NetHawk EAST simulator, a multi-technology testing platform for telecommunications networks.

The HDCIII-AMC is the latest generation of Adax’s highly successful SS7 controller and is one of the most densely linked products on the market today. NetHawk is transitioning from Adax’s HDCII-PMC to the new HDCIII-AMC as part of its next generation infrastructure development strategy.

Both the incumbent and new controllers are managed by the same software, enabling NetHawk to migrate to ATCA while protecting the investment it has already made in developing the functionality of the EAST simulator.

“Adax has enabled us to substantially increase the power of NetHawk EAST and conserve the features and stability of our solution ” explains Jouko Uimonen, EVP Simulators at NetHawk. “Not only does this enable us to provide greater performance while retaining a high level of control, it also means that our customers can use the same hardware for SS7 and ATM functionality, reducing both their operational costs and the physical footprint.”

“NetHawk has adopted exactly the right approach to introducing ATCA components into its infrastructure,” comments Robin Kent, Director, European Operations at Adax. “Many TEMs and service providers now face the challenge of upgrading their networks without disrupting the core business or incurring development costs. Adax hardware solutions are all managed through a common software interface which enables customers to make a seamless transition to ATCA.”
