Central Management of congestion and overload The Evolved Diameter Signaling Network
are important requirements driven by the explosion
of IP-ready devices.
Ulticoms Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) allows operators to grow their network according to demand, tracking investment with
realizable revenue. The DSC addresses the manageability requirements for the Evolved Diameter Signaling Network, enabling incremental
centralization of control for routing, secure interworking with other networks for roaming, and management of congestion and overload for
critical resources such as policy servers, home subscriber servers, and online charging.
To contend with unexpected requirements for security and interworking, Ulticoms DSC provides a sophisticated and efficient scripting
environment. Scripting enables planned and ad hoc response to special routing needs and interoperability challenges.
