The ITPOD server infrastructure division together with traffic monitoring and analytics software developer VAS Experts has unveiled two integrated hardware-software complexes for the telecom industry — Stingray Service Gateway (SSG) BRAS and Stingray Service Gateway (SSG) CG-NAT. These solutions enable telecom operators to accelerate network scaling, improve service performance, and reduce infrastructure deployment and maintenance costs through pre-integrated software and hardware components.
SSG BRAS: Subscriber Management and Internet Access
The SSG BRAS hardware-software complex is designed for subscriber connection and Internet access management. The system provides user authentication, traffic accounting, tariff plan enforcement, and supports multiple authorization methods — L3 (IPoE) and L2 (DHCP, PPPoE, Static IP, L2TP). The solution supports Active-Standby and Active-Active redundancy architectures and is designed to meet the requirements of telecom operators seeking reliable, high-availability alternatives for modern network infrastructures.
SSG CG-NAT: IPv4 Optimization and IPv6 Readiness
The SSG CG-NAT complex addresses the shortage of IPv4 addresses. The solution enables multiple subscribers to share a single public IP address without compromising connection quality, significantly reducing the cost of expanding address space. At the same time, SSG CG-NAT helps operators prepare their networks for the transition to IPv6. Built-in mechanisms ensure stable operation of internet services, traffic load control, and compliance with regulatory requirements, while allowing seamless integration into existing networks without complex modifications.

“Our products are developed in close collaboration with telecom operators and are built with architectural flexibility that enables scaling up to 500,000 subscribers on a single server. The bundled approach in the telecom industry reduces the volume of technical customization and simplifies solution maintenance in live production networks,” said Artem Tereshchenko, Executive Director of VAS Experts.
Both complexes are delivered on ITPOD server platforms and are engineered as unified, pre-adapted solutions at both the software and hardware levels. For operators, this means predictable system performance, fast deployment, and the elimination of compatibility risks between components. Comprehensive testing and unified technical support simplify operations, while the flexible architecture allows the solutions to scale for networks of any size — from regional operators to large telecom companies.
“Operators need ready-made solutions rather than fragmented components — solutions that can be launched quickly and evolved as the network grows. Our joint configurations with VAS Experts meet these requirements and enable the deployment of high-performance, scalable infrastructure, delivering up to 45 million packets per second and 400 Gbps per single server,” commented Ilya Bornyakov, CEO of ITPOD.
