Signaling Gateway Solutions
-
Service Providers are making the transition to 4G, and 5G is coming, but legacy connectivity for voice, SMS and IN applications still remains an absolute requirement. SS7 TDM interfaces must be maintained to meet the demand to interconnect different networks and multi-protocol solutions are required to connect divergent circuit and packet switching architectures. SS7 isn’t retrograde – it’s traditional. It’s still the most robust, high performance, and reliable signaling solution out there and it’s needed today more than ever.

Life Cycle & Fatigue Testers
-
Switches can use all these operations. Membrane switches, keyboards and keypads will all require a push with a known force. On/Off switches will combine a push and a pull or possibly push on, push off. A rocker switch and toggle switches will require a push in two different places. Rotary switches (and volume controls, potentiometers) need to be rotated clockwise and counter clockwise The standard life cycle and fatigue tester the B886 Simon System has been designed for life cycle and fatigue testing of switches, membrane switches, keyboards and keypads. It contains all the components needed to life and fatigue test a products that need to be pushed. We can also supply different actuators for a push, pull, rocker, toggle, volume control or rotary switch.
