Our Company

The explosive growth of text messages, wireless subscribers and pre-paid services require telecom operators to support increasing amounts of traffic on their networks – and to make sure it gets where it needs to go. This means more insight, control and management of traffic is necessary.

Telecom operators are in the process of making the transition from TDM/SS7 systems to next-generation IP, and then beyond that, IMS. Industry watchers agree this transition could be a 10-year or more cycle, and they concur the transition is evolutionary.

To manage the transition, Tekelec provides practical solutions that enable operators to offer new, revenue-generating multimedia services while leveraging their existing infrastructure and taking a stepped approach to all-IP networks.

Tekelec solutions are already trusted in the core of major telecom operator networks around the globe, including eight of 10 of the world’s largest wireless telecom operators. In 2007 alone, Tekelec solutions went into 23 new customer networks.

Our Heritage


Our customers associate us with innovation, and for good reason. We were first with a purpose-built STP, first with integrated number portability, and first with probe-less monitoring.

For more than 30 years, Tekelec has consistently anticipated the evolution of the telecom market and developed the technology to deal with changing network complexities, enabling our customers to deliver their own innovative products and services.

Today, we continue our tradition of innovation by developing leading-edge products that empower the next generation network, protecting legacy investments, and preparing our customers for the challenges and complexities of the future.

Tekelec’s heritage in signaling combined with its pioneering expertise in SIP has yielded an innovative approach to next generation network evolution. Tekelec is the first and only company to help operators add SIP signaling to next generation networks. SIP can deliver the promise of IMS networks to the next-generation networks operators are deploying today.
