EAGLE® XG ENUM Server
- 1. product brief EAGLE® XG ENUM Server High-capacity, Overview The current worldwide voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) penetration rate is approaching 10 percent, portability-corrected and it is clear that telecommunications is evolving toward all-Internet protocol (IP) networks. One of ENUM routing the challenges created by the IP evolution is how to route and terminate calls between the IP and circuit-switched domains, which utilize different numbering schemes, to enable seamless service database that delivery. Electronic number mapping (ENUM) in combination with VoIP peering, offers the key to solve these challenges. consolidates both IP Product Description and TDM address Tekelec’s EAGLE XG ENUM Server is a high-capacity, portability-corrected subscriber routing database (SRDB) that consolidates both VoIP and time division multiplexing (TDM) address information in information in a single a single network element to enable efficient service routing. The ENUM Server converts a ported or non-ported telephone number (TN) into a domain name, which is used to retrieve the uniform network element to resource identifier (URI) of the carrier or network device associated with that TN. Using the ENUM enable efficient service Server, providers can deploy a hybrid operator/ private Tier 1 ENUM solution to route VoIP calls, short message service (SMS), multimedia message service (MMS) and future multimedia services within routing. their own network and across other operators’ networks. The EAGLE XG ENUM Server can help peering problems for all types of operators – wireless, wireline, cable and non-facilities-based. The application is built on a highly scalable, high-performance software and hardware architecture that delivers the transaction rates needed to drive next-generation, SIP-based networks.

The EAGLE XG ENUM Server is built on Tekelec’s proprietary database » private eNuM. Tekelec also supports private ENUM, technology that ensures data integrity within the cluster of servers. allowing providers to route services directly to the end Provisioning data is checked before distribution within the cluster client – using the final private URI of the subscriber. to ensure that the database of 384M numbers can be properly maintained.
