READING, U.K. -- Adax, the industry leader in high performance communications and signaling infrastructure, announced today its acquisition of Radisys' Signaling Gateway division. With this acquisition, Adax gains the Savvi product line of signaling gateways for SS7/IP switching, routing, tunneling and backhaul. Adax products are already ideal for signaling gateways with multiple protocol capabilities and supporting T1/E1, OC3/STM-1 and Ethernet interfaces for the connection of existing SS7 infrastructure to IP networks. This is a natural progression for Adax and enables customers to easily deploy a more comprehensive signaling gateway platform solution. The addition of the Savvi gateways will enable the company to anticipate and efficiently serve the future demands of the wireless market as it moves towards integration of IP-based infrastructure with SS7. These leading-edge signaling gateway products enable customers to deploy IP and ATM-enabled switches, STPs and databases over traditional SS7 networks. Combining these gateways with Adax's industry leading products will allow customers to quickly and easily leverage their applications on a true platform signaling gateway. The integration of the signaling gateways and Adax's software and hardware will provide a cost-effective signaling platform with dramatically increased capacity, throughput and performance. The signaling gateway products enable direct IP migration of existing signaling points, regardless of network architecture and are fully interoperable with other gateways, Signal Transfer Points, databases and legacy PSTN switches. These factors enable carrier network scalability and flexibility, an important part of designing fully compatible, next-generation IP-based systems. "The addition of the Radisys signaling gateway division to our portfolio is a logical extension and allows us to support the increasing migration to SS7/IP, SS7 tunneling and M2UA backhaul in networks," said Dr. Barry Zuckerman, president of Adax, Inc. "The combination of Adax and Savvi products to deliver an integrated signaling gateway platform will make this transition much easier and more cost effective for our customers." Adax Inc.
