I am not aware of one Open Source project that does all you are looking 
for. OpenBSC (http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/) seems to come close 
(MSC, BSC, AUC, HLR, VLR, EIR). Kannel (www.kannel.org) might be some 
piece of the SMSC puzzle and for SIGTRAN Mobicents-SS7 seems to fit the 
bill: http://www.mobicents.org/ss7/intro.html

If you are going the TDM route too then Sangoma has excellent TDM cards 
(and hardware EC cards) and they are supported by Mobicents

Have fun integrating all the parts. Seems like a fun job :)
