About Service Brokers


Service Brokers, a network element that resides between the service layer and the converging network,
are traditionally decoupled from the core switch and the service execution or service creation
environment. Service Brokers efficiently manage service interaction and network orchestration with key
features such as IM-SSF, SCIM, IN to IN Trigger Management, Protocol/Call Flow Management and
Subscriber Data Management Interaction. AppTrigger’s Ignite Service Broker enables carriers to
preserve their investments in legacy applications by running them on next-generation networks, including
LTE.
