	Welcome to SSN Products Page
		Softswitching should play a central role in enabling a migration to a converged environment and providing the central nervous system for a converged next -generation world.
		Softswitch is an open Application Program Interface (API) used to connect the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to the Internet by separating the call control functions of a phone call from the media gateway or transport layer.
		Softswitch is cheaper, simpler, smaller and more convenient than conventional telephone switches, especially compared to Class 4 switches (for long distance calls) and Class 5 switches (for local calls).

	Softswitch \| NetworkDictionary
		Softswitch is the next generation voice and multimedia switch based on the IP technologies.
		Softswitch gets its name because typically it is a software based solution implemented on general purpose computers/servers, while the traditional Class 5 and Class 4 switches are rely on dedicated facilities for inter-connection and are designed primarily for voice communications.
		Softswitch technology enables connectivity between the Internet, wireless networks, cable networks and traditional wireline telephony network, which results a converged network.

	ISP Planet - Technology - Should I Buy a Softswitch?
		A softswitch is a piece of software that performs voice switching on a server as opposed to within a platform designed to handle circuit switched traffic.
		The enthusiasm surrounding softswitches is quite understandable: circuit switched voice was traditionally handled by expensive class four or class five switches on the carrier side, and PBXs on the enterprise side, so the cost benefits of sticking a server into the network run to literally hundreds of thousands of dollars.
		The softswitches that you keep reading about on the high end—the likes of Sonus—are really a replacement for very very expensive Nortel DMS 250-type class five switches and are really not the kind of gear you'd need.

	IEC
		Softswitch is the generic name for a new approach to telephony switching that has the potential to address all the shortcomings of traditional local-exchange switches identified above.
		So far, softswitch solutions have only been applied in core network switching functions, where the call processing functionality is largely limited to call setup and teardown, and where the complex features required for local telephony are not applicable.
		Most softswitch implementations are likely to use an IP—based transport for Megaco, although there may be good reasons to use a native ATM—based transport, such as I.366.1 (segmentation and reassembly sublayer for AAL2), to support remote MGs that operate with VoATM connections.

	"Softswitch: not so soft" by Niraj K Gupta
		They predict that softswitch will be a key component of this transformation, as it controls media gateways, IP phones and integrated access devices in the packet-switched network, and provides inter-working with the traditional circuit-switched network.
		It predicts that softswitch will act as an anchor within the next-generation network in the coming years, and the circuit switch market is expected to decline over the next few years.
		As the carriers are opting to cap investments in legacy technologies by leveraging softswitch solutions, most of the legacy switch vendors have recognized this fundamental shift in technology, and have realigned their development resources towards packet-based softswitch solutions.

	VON Magazine :: May 2005 :: THE GREAT SOFTSWITCH REVIVAL, by Richard Grigonis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Back in 2002, the softswitch business was on the brink of disaster, along with the whole telecom industry and the rest of the economy in general.
		Softswitches are cheaper to install and maintain than conventional TDM equipment, and yet they enable the development of a vast range of revenue-generating nex-gen services.
		Ironically, the all-important softswitch is actually a conceptual or "logical" network element made up of various physical (real) elements, the most important of which is the MGC (Media Gateway Controller) that mediates call control and controls access from the IP environment to-and-from the PSTN.

	Softswitch Defined
		Softswitch, media gateway controller, call agent, gatekeeper: These are the varied nomenclatures that have been attached to the products that perform the functions that are coming to be called softswitches.
		The term "softswitch" is almost as generic as call agent, but seems to be winning out over that term because it is more descriptive of the way these systems generally are designed as software running on a standard computing platform.
		Likewise, on a softswitch, there are certain applications, such as basic call routing, where it is difficult to segregate them from the call agent because of state issues.

	Softswitch
		This current situation is disappointing to Softswitch proponents who claim that one of the primary benefits of separation of IN components would be to create an open environment for service creation.
		For example, one goal is to establish a "Softswitch" that does not have the hard constraints that traditional switches have, including the need for circuit based switching and transport, intelligent network triggers and mechanisms, and service logic.
		However, the future benefit of Softswitch will be dictated by the extent to which network control and service logic also migrate away from the switch.

	3Com \| 3Com: Carriers Have Been Using VoIP in Softswitch Implementations Since 1999
		The carrier telephone network has been organized in a hierarchical manner to ensure efficiency in handling the large volume of calls that originate and terminate in the local area and to provide limited network resources for only that fraction of calls that need to traverse long distance networks.
		This saved several hundreds of millions of dollars in payments to local phone companies since the transport over IP at that time meant it was an "enhanced service" and represented a different set of regulatory requirements.
		The softswitch uses a completely different set of assumptions than classic central office switches to generate its unique advantages for the telecom industry of the future.

	Magic Quadrant for Softswitch Architecture, 2007
		Therefore, those softswitch vendors that have a clear migration path from softswitch to IP transformation — and an integrated portfolio that can deliver long-term value to both mobile and wireline operators — are more likely to be successful.
		The softswitch architecture market, comprising softswitch/call control and VoIP gateways, has gone through some iterations of industry hype, from an initial claim that "packet will replace all legacy infrastructure" to a now more moderate network migration and packet overlay approach.
		Since the softswitch architecture market is diverse in terms of topology and its affiliated migration to session control in the IMS, it is necessary to consider the different market share and mind share as a result of equipment deployments.
