Signaling System # 7

Originally designed for analog telephone networks, SS7 has continually undergone changes to accommodate the ever-evolving world of telecom. Today, SS7 is used for data, voice, video, audio, and voice-over IP networks – and no other resource even comes close to providing such a complete understanding of the signaling network, its architecture, and protocols used to communicate through it like Travis Russell’s Signaling System #7.

The author bypasses heavy-handed engineering and mathematical derivations, making this unique guide understandable even to novices and an informative easy-read for experienced pros who need to fill-in some essential knowledge gaps.

Each chapter presents a readable discussion, followed by technical details such as parameters, message structures and bit values. Hands-on expert Russell, knowing exactly what you need for a crystal-clear understanding of SS7, also provides the technical details, protocol messages, and application examples.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

* New coverage of SS7 over IP

* A reorganized chapter structure that covers three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced

* CD-ROM containing the entire book in searchable PDF

Here is the only resource you’ll ever need to fully understand the “how’s” and “why’s” of Signaling System #7 – once you own it you’ll understand why the “Russell book” is considered indispensable among telecommunication managers, engineers, technicians, and network mangers.
