Traffix Systems was born in the wake of the telecommunications industry's adoption of the Diameter signaling protocol as the preferred signaling protocol to enable Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) management for users to connect, use and pay for network resources and services in next-generation architecture such as LTE, IMS and HSPA+.

While acclaimed for its high bandwidth and the promise of exciting new data services, LTE introduces substantial core network complexity due to the addition of many more network elements, advanced services and new policy and charging schemes. Operators own the task of managing all this complexity, the most challenging of which occurring in the Diameter control plane. 

Since 2005, the Traffix's team of experienced telecommunications experts has focused on solutions for the Diameter control plane with a portfolio of Diameter products including a Diameter Gateway, Diameter Load Balancer and Diameter Router. With the adoption of HSPA+, IMS and LTE as the technologies of choice for mobile data and Diameter as the underlying signaling protocol, there is an increasing need for telco-grade, field-proven Diameter signaling products. Traffix's products fulfill these needs, as well as each and every operator challenge for seamless and cost-effective signaling related to connectivity, scalability, control and performance.

In 2011, Traffix announced a market-first: The Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC). The SDC is a unified platform that supports fully-featured solutions of a Diameter Gateway, Diameter Load Balancer and Diameter Router, providing interfaces for all signaling network technologies and protocols: Legacy and LTE/HSPA+, mobile and fixed, to deliver a truly convergent solution. With its SDC technology, Traffix has set the industry benchmark for Diameter control plane products, with more than 100 Diameter deployments throughout the world, many of them at top tier telecom operators.

Traffix gathered a team of seasoned R&D professionals who have proven experience in developing products for the telecommunications industry. Each one brings to Traffix deep expertise in telecommunications, and in building scalable and highly available systems. Guiding the company's vision and its fulfillment are the telecom seasoned professionals of the Traffix Board. Each Board member has earned a reputation for identifying and solving market challenges that push the industry forward. 

Industry pundits and international standards bodies have adopted Diameter as the primary technological building block for the implementation of high performance mobile data. Since 2005, Traffix embodies this vision and has positioned itself as the leading provider of Diameter signaling solutions that enable service providers to control their signaling networks effectively in the migration to next-generation networks (NGN) and future expansion of their subscriber bases and service portfolios.

A market first, Traffix's Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC) is a fully-featured, unified single platform that solves the most perplexing challenges encountered in operators' LTE/HSPA+ rollouts and operations. Traffix SDC consolidates the field-proven Traffix Diameter Gateway, Diameter Load Balancer, and Diameter Router to provide maximum signaling network control, generate greater revenues and lower costs to operators, and enable a higher quality customer experience. With its innovative architecture, Traffix SDC enables operators to benefit from instant connectivity, fast launch of complex services with charging schemes, CAPEX and OPEX savings, cost-effective scalability for present and future needs, minimal risk of deployment, network assurance and reliability, and numerous other benefits.

There are rich layers of added value in SDC's architecture: One outstanding example is the ability to extract business intelligence from real-time signaling, which is more beneficial for network and customer analytics than offline intelligence derived from warehoused data. Another is better management of the network by using information embedded in the signaling itself, such as subscriber locations, rating and quality of service (QoS).

Consolidating the three Diameter solutions into one platform brings operators an end-to-end integrated product with significant operational and economic benefits as a result of the synergies among the solutions. Each may be deployed as a stand-alone solution. However when combined, the positive results are multiplied.

 

Traffix believes in the power of relationships in the telecom ecosystem. As a driver of Diameter signaling products, Traffix strives to forge alliances with business partners such as global network equipment suppliers, system integrators, and other players. On the technological side, Traffix plays an active role in international standards bodies and organizations forums, both to ensure the full compliance of its products, and as an expert on Diameter to help the industry as a whole in network migration and its evolvement.
