HINTON Monitor

The HINTON Monitor passive probe allows SIs and OEMs to provide a wide range of applications and services to network operators and their customers.

The HINTON Monitor supports SS7 (LSL and HSL), SIGTRAN, and bearer channel monitoring in the full range of modern telecommunications networks, including:

• GSM
• UMTS
• PSTN
• CDMA
• CDMA2000

The HINTON Monitor is a passive (non-intrusive) network-monitoring probe providing a fully managed and scalable network monitoring platform. The network probes are fully managed and highly scalable, capable of being deployed either stand-alone or as a fully distributed architecture and available using both Linux and Solaris-based platforms, providing high-performance processing nodes, consistent with existing infrastructure. The probe includes built-in support for powerful filtering mechanisms on a wide range of parameters to allow the delivery of highly targeted product delivery, able to support up to 100,000 concurrent complex filters, and deliver reporting on up to 100% of network traffic.

The HINTON Monitor provides multiple types of monitoring API:

• Communication/call data records (CDR) API: contains the call details including number called and length of call.
• Call progress records (CPR) API: provides information about non-call events (such as cell phone location updates) and real-time call traces.
• SMS Data Records (SMS DR): all SMS related records.
• Transaction data record (TDR) API: provides decode/filtering of selected messages and information elements of interest over TCP/IP (for example, location update messages or ISUP IAM). The TDR API can also correlate and combine TCAP messages from a transaction into a single record.
• Raw messaging signaling unit (MSU) feed API: an un-decoded feed of all data intercepted from the network (for example ISUP or MAP signalling).

Telesoft Technologies has worked with telephony operators, SIs and OEMs since 1989 installing telephony equipment into core networks. Its signaling protocol software is used in many networks by over 250 operators in over 100 different countries ensuring both a wide variety of protocol support and robustness through use in a variety of networks.
