To discuss this feature on the SG7000 we are going to look at the sub topics below;

• Definition
• Advantages
• Service Interaction
• Version Requirements

This topic describes service definition, advantages, interaction with other services, and version requirement.

Definition

The message duplication service enables the SG7000 to duplicate a required message and sends it to the third-party platform through the standard SS7 interface. After that, the SG7000 routes the original message based on the normal flow.

Advantages

• This service enables a carrier to take the leading position in providing subscribers with customized and differentiated services, and helps a carrier to improve the enterprise image.

• This service meets customers requirements on special functions. New supplementary services are processed on the new service platform, which allows the minimum change of external NEs and reduces the impact on the original service platform.

• A carrier can use the SG7000 as the message duplication device, without changing any other NEs.

• An NE can be added to process the special messages duplicated and sent by the SG7000. Thus, a special service is implemented, the cost is reduced, and the customer satisfaction is improved. For example,

  • Cooperating with the HLR to implement the compatibility redundancy solution

  • Cooperating with the AS to implement the short message welcome function

Service Interaction

If the rerouting service and message duplication service are simultaneously enabled for a link set, the message duplication service takes the precedence.

Version Requirements

This service is provided in V200R005C05 and its later versions.
