	<para>
		&THIS.PLATFORM; &THIS.APPLICATION; is based on robust and proven &THIS.PLATFORM; JAIN SLEE 1.1 Server and &THIS.PLATFORM; jSS7 Stack.
	</para>

	<para>
		&THIS.PLATFORM; JAIN SLEE Server is a highly scalable event-driven application server with a robust component model and fault tolerant execution environment. 
		It provides a set of connectors to a variety of networks elements: SS7 MAP, TCAP, INAP, ISUP, SMPP, XMPP, SIP, MGCP, HTTP, XDM, XCAP, Diameter and many others. 
		It is fully compliant with JSR 240 (JSLEE 1.1).
	</para>

	<para>
		&THIS.PLATFORM; jSS7 is a software based implementation of the SS7 protocol. It provides implementation for Level 2 and above in the SS7 protocol Stack. &THIS.PLATFORM;
		jSS7 Stack User Guide is bundled within and you can refer to the guide for more details on the Stack.
