ROCHESTER, N.Y.-Performance Technologies said Pioneer Cellular has selected its SEGway 6200 Mini-STP product to consolidate SS7 traffic on its wireless network.
Pioneer Cellular provides service in Oklahoma.
The SEGway Mini-STP allows Pioneer to provide long-distance telecommunications and expanded user services for residential and business customers without incurring additional costs, said Performance. The product provides a scaled alternative to traditional STPs, which can be prohibitively expensive for smaller operators, said the company.
“In a business as competitive as the wireless industry, it is imperative that we find ways to surpass our competitors in terms of the services we offer,” said Richard Ruhl, general manager of Pioneer Cellular and Pioneer Telephone Cooperative Inc. “Performance Technologies’ Mini-STP is a compelling solution that enables us to offer the same services as a large carrier, while utilizing our existing infrastructure. Without the SEGway Mini-STP, we would not be able to offer customers the value-add services we are offering today.”
