2 Days / 4 Live Online Sessions (0900-1230)
Description
The drive towards all-IP networking necessitates the transport of SS7 protocols over an IP domain. This course provides a thorough explanation of how this is achieved using the SIGTRAN ‘toolkit’.
Our SIGTRAN training course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how SS7 protocols are transported over IP networks using the SIGTRAN toolkit. As the industry moves towards all-IP networking, this course is essential for individuals who need to grasp the concept of SS7 and the available solutions for transporting SS7 signalling over IP-based networks.
Participants will benefit from learning about various topic areas including the importance of SIGTRAN, potential SS7 and IP interworking scenarios, SIGTRAN protocols, SCTP architecture and operation, MTP2 Peer-to-Peer Adaptation (M2PA) layer, MTP3 User Adaptation (M3UA) layer, and more. With a focus on practical applications, attendees will also gain hands-on experience in analyzing SIGTRAN operation using Wireshark.
Whether you are a telecommunications professional looking to enhance your skills or a network engineer seeking to understand the complexities of SS7 signalling over IP networks, our SIGTRAN training course is the ideal choice for you.
