Circuit-switched and packet-based networks are converging. VoIP popularity is growing and circuit-switched networks built for voice communications are affected by the growth of in-dial data access. Network operators, service providers and equipment manufacturers are facing new challenges in ensuring converged network readiness for planned traffic volume, quality of service and interoperability. The Media Gateway Controller (Softswitch), “the traffic manager” and “the bridge” between circuit-switched and packet based networks, plays a crucial role in the converged SS7/IP networks.

Navtel’s ISUP Performance Test Suite is an advanced hardware and software solution that emulates the whole SS7 network and generates high volumes of ISUP traffic. It emulates real-world network conditions and enables Network Equipment Manufacturers and Network Operators to perform Stability, Performance benchmarking, Reliability and Scalability tests of Media Gateway Controllers (MGC/Softswitch).
