carrier management systems, inc. ( nams firefly )

NAMS Firefly CS developed by Carrier Management Systems, Inc., is a complete solution that provides total AMA/EMI and SS7 network visibility at a price all companies can afford. AMA and SS7 messages are simultaneously collected and correlated on one platform and presented in user-friendly applications to allow you to see what you've been missing. NAMS Firefly AMA collects all switch-generated data (call records, traffic measurements, console messages, etc.) in real-time and stores it in a centralized location. This data is then imported into an Oracle database and accessed by rich web-enabled applications to provide assistance in the areas of call record searching, traffic engineering, fraud detection, phantom traffic/access avoidances, grey traffic, interconnection agreements, balance of traffic, network optimization, capacity planning, and customer service. NAMS Firefly SS7 collects SS7 network-generated data from one or more link sets and stores them in a centralized location. The ISUP and SCCP/TCAP messages are parsed and imported in real-time into an Oracle database. In addition, the five primary ISUP messages associated with a call (IAM, ACM, ANM, REL, and RLC) are linked together and parsed against the LERG to form a single viewable ISUP Session Record (ISR). These records are utilized to provide ISUP, TCAP, and ISR message search and reporting, SS7 message trailing, in-progress call trap/tracing, phantom traffic reporting, grey traffic reporting , TCAP query validation, link occupancy monitoring, and fraud detection and prevention.
