Gateway Screening
Provides operators the ability to examine all incoming and outgoing messages against pre-defined rules. The
end result is that either a message is routed or discarded. Gateway Screening is performed on the following
MSU parameters

SVI_STP Core Functionality
► The SVI_STP provides a flexible mechanism for the capture of all MSU messaging storing as:-
► ASCII based MSU records
► Configurable ASCII based CDRs
► Store MSU details in SQL database
Allows operators to perform Billing Reconciliation, Network Analysis etc

SVI_STP Service Enablement
18
Revenue Generating Service Enablement
After a decade of deployments the SVI-STP offers off-the-shelf service enablement :-
Detailed MSU records allow operators to offer Billing
Reconciliation, Revenue Assurance and Network
Monitoring services
Revenue Assurance / Network Monitoring
STP can rapidly be configured to access/dip 3rd party
IN services to provide CNAM / LNP /0800
Carriers can build their own database to save costs
and accelerate network rollout
“Dipping“ Services
www.squire-technologies.com
Deploying the SVI_STP into an existing SS7 network allows an operator to generate its own “Virtual Point Codes” for transparent single carrier PC interconnect and provision of “private SS7 networks” providing :-
► Costs savings by not having to purchase expensive incumbent carriers Point Codes
► Accelerated network deployment – the provision of additional Point Codes and inter-op testing is managed by the operator
