Course Name:
SS7-Overview
Course Length: 2 days
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 From This Course: 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.
