The SEGway™ X301 is Performance Technologies’ midsize platform solution, scalable to meet the needs of small to midsize service providers. The X301 is built on a 7U platform with four payload slots available for low (TDM) and high speed (IP-SIGTRAN, ATM) links. Service providers can use the X301 solution sets to manage their SS7 network and connect with multiple inter-connectivity  partners. Whether the deployment is traditional (TDM, ATM) or next-generation (IP), SEGway  products can do it all. As with all SEGway products, this robust carrier-grade offering is designed  with Performance Technologies’ own high-quality software and hardware. This architecture gives  service providers the reliability and high performance required in today’s networks.

A Flexible Proven Solution for Growing Networks

SEGway™ signaling products have been deployed by OEMs and carriers in wireless and wireline configurations worldwide and conform to ANSI and ITU standards. Additional country-specific protocol variants are available upon request. Field-proven for over ten years, our products conform to the latest IETF SIGTRAN protocols, ensuring interoperability.

SEGway X301 core nodes, when deployed with Performance Technologies’ IP-Edge systems at a network’s edge, offer operators a total network solution with an even more compelling value proposition. This powerful combination delivers to both wireless and wireline service providers a truly enriched package of flexible next-generation capabilities that maximize the value of their signaling networks.

Service providers who compare the overall lifecycle costs of their legacy signaling systems will find that Performance Technologies’ SEGway core products offer unparalleled savings over our competitors on both initial capital and annual operating costs.

Rock Solid Performance and Quality

Performance Technologies’ SEGway products provide superior quality to carriers worldwide. The ability to design and produce our own hardware platforms, coupled with expertise in providing innovative software, enables us to produce high-performance, scalable, and flexible solutions.

Designed for a telecommunications environment, the SEGway X301 is built on Performance Technologies’ 7U high-availability Advanced Managed Platform™. The system supports five-nines (99.999%) availability with built-in redundancy and hot-swap for all active system components. Onboard flash memory provides storage of executables and data, ensuring extremely fast system reload.

Flexible Connectivity and Scalability

The SEGway X301 supports any-to-any connectivity (SS7, IP, and ATM), which makes it well suited for deployment in both TDM and IP-based networks. This multi-protocol, multi-standard platform provides a complete connectivity solution. The X301 scales up to 128 SS7 links with ATM-HSL and up to 64 SIGTRAN M2PA links with support for multi-variant SS7 and SIGTRAN protocols. The SEGway X301’s I/O options include a full array of physical interfaces, such as T1, E1, V.35, ATM, and Ethernet.

User-Friendly Environment

SEGway solutions are designed with the end-user in mind. Intuitive, easy-to-navigate screens  with pull-down menu selectors assist operations personnel through the configuration of the  system. Comprehensive message tracing capabilities allow support personnel to diagnose and  troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Many operators find SEGway systems easy enough to install and configure themselves after initial training, thereby saving significant E&I costs.
