Signaling System No 7 C7/Ss7

Learn how to build and maintain SS7/C7 Telecommunications ArchitecturesSignaling System No. 7 (SS7/C7) : Protocol, Architecture, and Applications, authored by Cisco Systems team members who helped develop Cisco SS7/C7 plans, offers:Broad coverage of SS7/C7 practices, including both networking and telecommunications applicationsExclusive coverage of SS7/C7 over IP and over Voice/Data Fax using real world examplesSignaling System No. 7 (SS7/C7) : Protocol, Architecture, and Applications teaches engineers SS7/C7 architectures and operations maintenance. Complete with coverage of both North American and international standards, the reader will learn about basic call setup, management, and tear down, personal communications services (PCS) , wireless roaming, and mobile subscriber authentication. Local number portability (LNP) , toll-free (800/888) and toll (900) wireline services are also covered, as well as other enhanced features and security management. Signaling (specifically SS7/C7) is a core technology of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) . The PSTN carries the voice/data/fax and also provides signaling information for the vast array of resources used to transport voice/data/fax. This signaling network utilizes the SS7/C7 protocol to meet its objectives. These objectives are largely call setup and cleardown, as well as Intelligent Network (IN) services such as 0800 (1-800) , calling card validation, Local Number Portability (LNP) and supplementary services like caller ID.Every piece of equipment that plugs into the PSTN must adhere strictly to the SS7/C7 protocol. Service providers in every market segment are taking advantage of SS7/C7 interfaces to lower their costs and improve their competitiveness in services. Signaling System No. 7 (SS7/C7) : Protocol, Architecture, and Applications is the most comprehensive and detailed SS7/C7 book available, making it a valuable resource to both networking and telecommunications professionals.
