Understanding SS7 for IN, Wireless, and VoIP

 Course Description
    Course Outline/Details

Understanding SS7 for IN, Wireless, and VoIP course provides students with the understanding of how and why SS7 is used for call control and supports new services using Intelligent Networks as well as the wireless and VoIP environments. In many ways, these different networks are merging to provide seamless services to end customers, and SS7 is emerging as the common thread that ties all of them together.
