Description

SS7 Overview will give you a basic understanding of the architecture and operational issues of the Common Channel Signaling (CCS) network and Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol. This course describes how intelligent networking and its applications are used to support many of the features that are deployed throughout both the wireline and wireless networks today. You will be provided a thorough foundation for a more advanced study of the SS7 protocol.

What You Will Learn

In this course you will learn terminology and concepts of the CCS network and the SS7 protocol. We will examine services that are offered using this network. The student will gain a thorough knowledge of network architecture and interconnection arrangements including today’s routing. Appropriate documentation will also be introduced.

Who Will Benefit

This course will be an invaluable tool for those individuals responsible for maintenance and surveillance of the voice or signaling network. Others who could benefit would include planners, network or traffic engineers, Network Operations or technical support personnel and interconnection specialists.

Prerequisites

None.
