ADC UltraWAVE R4S User Manual

UltraWAVE R4S

Scalable MSC with Integrated Value Added Services

The UltraWAVE R4S provides a cost-effective, plug-and-play GSM softswitch that adheres to 3GPP
release 4 recommendations. Operators migrating to an all-IP core network now have a softswitch
that enables an easy transition to packet switching while allowing connection to any legacy
circuit-switched network, integrating landline and mobile users. The UltraWAVE R4S also offers
local switching and distributed architecture that are essential for applications like island networks,
cruise ships, emergency networks and military applications.

The UltraWAVE R4S offers a compact, scalable alternative to larger softswitches, delivering all the
benefits and services IP technology offers—at an affordable price. ADC has integrated the most
desired and revenue-generating features, such as Prepaid, Messaging and Voice Mail service.

UltraWAVE R4S

Scalable MSC with Integrated Value Added Services

UltraWave R4S

Features

The UltraWAVE R4S benefits are made possible
through a number of highly sought-after features
that include:

Ability to integrate the mobile switching •
center (MSC), visitor location registry (VLR),
home location registry (HLR), and value-added
services (VAS) on a single server, or run HLR
and VAS on a standalone server

MSC, VLR, HLR, AUC, Prepaid, SMSC and VMS•

MAP (v 1, 2 and 3) A, B, C, D, F and SMSC•

CAP (phase I, II and III)•

MGCP, Sigtran, SIP, and BICC•

Connectivity to legacy circuit-switched •
networks via Media Gateway (MGW) using
ISUP and ISDN PRI

Prepared for future introduction of •
SIP connectivity

Future availability on a laptop platform for •

laboratories or other small-scale deployments

Supports regulatory requirements such as •
Mobile Number Portablility, NRTRDE and
Lawful Intercept

Interoperates simultaneously with IP and •
Circuit-switched RAN

Benefits

Enables increased coverage and capacity •
at an affordable cost

Meets the desire to evolve from circuit •
switching to packet switching at a lower
cost than commonly available solutions

Streamlines migration to IP technology •
by providing easy integration with all-IP
multimedia subsystems (IMS), while also
allowing connection to legacy circuit­switched systems

Simplifies system management and billing •
and allows value added services by providing
a common IP backbone for all communica­tion services

Scales economically from 1,000 to •
100,000 subscribers

Increases operator revenue through local •
switching and distributed architecture,
eliminating the need to carry voice payload
over satellite backhaul

Reduces operating costs by separating •
decisions regarding location and capacity of
application, control and connectivity functions

Enables smaller operators to stay abreast of •
technology and standards by aligning with
the 3GPP-recommended migration path
