Active Signalling Proxy
Built on the highly performant and stable TruTeq Signalling Gateway, the TruTeq Active Signalling Proxy (ASP) unlocks the core signalling network by processing signalling events to trigger other core and BSS systems or enhance a customer’s business processes.
Interoperability & Integration
Supporting many standard interfaces with the ability to rapidly add new interfaces and applications, the TruTeq ASP becomes an invaluable and adaptive tool for expanding capabilities in the core signalling network.
The SS7 MAP capabilities are expanded to add the CAMEL Application Part (CAP) support necessary for handling intelligent network (IN) events.
The TruTeq API-GW and Diameter products may also be incorporated to further expand the solution’s capabilities and increase the number of interfaces supported.
Uses and Benefits
Enable legacy MAP/CAP signalling events to trigger services using modern protocols like Diameter, HTTP or JSON.
Examples of services that may be based on the Truteq ASP include;
- Inbound roamer detection
- Dynamic SIM provisioning
- Reverse location lookup
- Roaming steering
- Big data harvesting and ingestion
- CAMEL SCP to Diameter Gateway
Signalling Solutions
Location Based Services
Enhance the appeal and reach of applications
Our Location Server uses statistical modelling of signalling data to determine the most likely location of a subscriber. Accuracy is dependent on the quality of the information used, but typical values range from 500m to 900m. This is adequate for most applications and removes the need for expensive probes. Some applications are:
Fraud mitigation services for the card payment industry
“Find Me” services e.g. nearest restaurant, coffee bar, ATM etc
Location based charging, for example ‘Home Zone’ or ‘Office Zone’
Retail offers – dependent on user proximity
Social networking services
Visitor local information services
Child find/locate services
Route planning/navigation
“Where am I” type information services
Location based games
Vehicle and asset tracking
Support for emergency services and Law Enforcement Agencies.
ValiPort® Security Proxy
Add Security to Existing Systems.
More and more Card-not-Present (CNP) and mobile financial services are committed by impersonating the victim’s handset.
This may be done quite easily through SIM swapping, porting, or spoofing from remote networks. Solving this requires significant integration into the mobile networks.
Leverage off our extensive experience in validating transactions.
ValiPort® OTP SMSC
Prevent Online and Mobile Banking Fraud.
Our ValiPort® OTP SMSC is a standalone “black box” solution to CNP- and online banking fraud. It is isolated from the carrier’s normal network elements (and personnel) but integrates deeply into the network to be able to verify the origin and destination of tokens.
This helps banks manage their losses and for the carrier it represents a brand-new revenue stream from an existing base.
Signalling Solutions
Smart EIR
The TruTeq EIR solution is extremely versatile and flexible, providing capabilities beyond simple device blacklisting.
In GSM networks, the Equipment Identity Register (EIR) plays a vital role in ensuring network security and protecting against fraudulent activities. By maintaining a database of mobile equipment identities (IMEIs), the EIR enables network operators to identify and block stolen, unauthorized, or malfunctioning devices from accessing the network. This capability is crucial for preventing fraudulent use of services, protecting legitimate subscribers, and maintaining the overall integrity of the GSM network.
Features of the vSMSC:
The TruTeq EIR uses various components from the TruTeq product suite to provide a high performance and extended feature set EIR. Modules that are used include:
- TruTeq Active Signalling Proxy
- TruTeq API Gateway
- Realtime data replication across nodes and sites using MariaDB
- TruTeq Memory Cache Manager, enabling all EIR nodes to be aware of the IMEI status ID in real-time
With the optional integration to ValiPort® the additional benefit is the ability to detect fraudulent behaviour in conjunction with clients like banks and preventing handsets from being used to commit crime.
Features and Capabilities:
Realtime extended IMEI check
Positioning checks, welcome SMS etc.
Equipment validation
Enhanced Security and Compliance capabilities
SIM to Device lock
Triplets (IMEI/MSISDN/IMSI) tracking and related triggering

Dynamic SIM Provisioning
Optimise your License investment
Optimising the consumption of licenses can save a mobile network significant CAPEX and optimise the recycling of MSISDNs.
Provisioning on Demand
No two networks are the same and this is why we build the solution around the capabilities of your network elements.
With experience in 2G/3G as well as LTE and Wi-Fi calling provisioning on demand, we can help you navigate all the different scenarios in order to build the most cost-effective solution.
The desirability of specific numbers represents an additional opportunity for revenue generation. These so-called golden numbers may be selected from a menu or searched with a lookup function.

CAMEL to Diameter Protocol Converter
The CAMEL Application Part (CAP) is a signalling protocol used in the Intelligent Network (IN) architecture. TruTeq offers a CAP to Diameter protocol converter module as an enhancement to the Diameter suite.
CAP / CAMEL
CAP has been defined in the 3GPP specifications in four phases, each of which has an accompanying specification that builds upon the previous phase.
Protocol Conversion
The module is able to accept CAMEL based events via an SS7 interface, transform those events into the required Diameter format, route those events to the OCS and then reply with a CAMEL Phase 2 response according to the Diameter reply from the OCS.
Diameter based charging without reintegrating existing services
Integrate existing CAP based custom service logic with your modern Online Charging System. This allows you to continue offering Value Added Services implemented with CAP, together with the powerful flexibility of Diameter based charging.
Future Ready. Scaleable. Cost-efficient.
