SIGTRAN – SS7 Signalling over IP

 

Course ID: EPOL-10:034
Duration: 2 days
Number of participants: recommended minimum 4, maximum 12

Course objectives
The “SIGTRAN – SS7 Signalling over IP” course aims to provide the details of signalling issues in IP networks, but still compatible with worldwide SS7 signalling. On completion of the course, participants will have gained the following knowledge about SIGTRAN in a network:

• The idea behind SIGTRAN, IP networking, adaptation layers from SS7 in TDM to IP networks
• Stream Control Transmission Protocol – a reliable way to deliver messages over unreliable network
• Typical adaptation layers in SIGTRAN (M2UA, M3UA, SUA, IUA)
• Practical issues related to redundancy, reliability and the evolution of signalling into SIGTRAN
• Traffic cases and call flows – typical scenarios which relate to signalling messages in IP

Target audience
This course has been designed for professionals in the telecommunications field who need to know the details on SIGTRAN signalling. This course will be valuable for employees from different teams and domains, but especially for those who design, maintain or support signalling over IP networks or multi-domain networks.

Prerequisites
The course will be more beneficial for participants with a general knowledge of networks and telecommunications, especially if they are familiar with SS7 signalling issues and IP networking.

Learning method
The course is presentation-based, along with exercises for participants.
