Service Broker

The Metaswitch Service Broker resides between the application cloud and the converging network/control layer to provide and manage application connectivity to disparate underlying networks. Purpose-built, highly scalable, and carrier grade, our Service Broker enables legacy, intelligent network (IN), IP and next-generation IMS applications to connect and interwork with your ever evolving network.

Simply stated, the Service Broker is a better way to deploy and manage applications in any carrier network. Metaswitch's Service Broker is a critical network element which incorporates signaling, media and the feature interworking between disparate networks that converged and consolidated applications require. It is scalable to support tens of millions of subscribers via a single system or via clustering and provides the necessary calls/transactions per second required for large-scale multi-network environments.

Today's converging networks contain a constantly growing set of elements required to make your networks work. The Periodic Table of Network Elements captures the primary networks, services and protocols present in today's converging network landscape.

This free poster provides you with a reference document to keep pace with the evolving network and introduces the Service Broker as the network element that brings it all together.

Service Broker Benefits

We designed our Service Broker software product from the ground up to provide the flexibility to accommodate a diverse set of Service Provider deployment needs. The introduction of a Service Broker into your network provides the opportunity to reduce network expenses, retain and increase ARPU while maintaining a fully SDP and IMS compliant architecture.

Extend Every App to Every Subscriber

The Metaswitch Service Broker provides a solution that enables Service Providers to connect any application, old or new to any underlying network.

Our Service Broker was purpose-built to accelerate the deployment of next-generation applications, while shielding existing applications from the evolving network. Our Service Broker was also designed to preserve investment in legacy revenue producing applications working within IMS, wireline and wireless networks. Additionally, Service Providers no longer need to re-write or re-connect applications, translating into dramatic CAPEX and OPEX savings.

Enable New Innovative Services While Leveraging Current Assets

The Service Broker enables Service Providers to leverage current services across legacy, next generation and IMS networks. Originating from the 3GPP standards, the Service Broker allows the introduction and orchestration of multiple application services within a single call by utilizing built-in SCIM (Service Capability Interaction Manager) and SIF (Service Interaction Function) capabilities. By doing so, new service combinations can be introduced utilizing resources from existing and new applications regardless of the network; legacy wireline, wireless or next generation/IMS networks.

Leverage Network Abstraction and Web 2.0

Enabling flexible and scalable network services in the Web 2.0 environment is the central challenge of Service Providers today. As always, they must keep pace with subscriber demand for innovative services while protecting their lucrative existing services. And it's getting more and more complicated as voice, video and data applications continue to converge. The Metaswitch Service Broker provides a cost effective, flexible means to leverage the innovative Web 2.0 ecosystem.
