Understanding SS7 for IN, Wireless, and VoIP

( TRA-205 )


     Course DescriptionBack To Top

The Understanding SS7 for IN, Wireless, and VoIP course provides students with a detailed tutorial on SS7 so you will understand how it is used today and how it applies to emerging networks and new services. Today, SS7 and IN play a key role in the wireline world, providing everything from basic call setup to key services such as toll-free calling, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and Local Number Portability (LNP). Carriers and vendors are building on top of, and working with, the SS7 and IN infrastructures, not brushing them aside. SS7 is a stable protocol and has proven itself in the wireline and IN worlds. It's also a robust enough protocol to appeal to the newer wireless and VoIP networks as well. Subscribers want their services to work the same way, no matter where they are, what they're doing, or what device they are using. They want to take advantage of new technologies - and that usually means an evolution toward wireless and VoIP services.
