Overview
The IP•Tube SS7 SIG V35 transports SS7 messages over IP networks. SS7 signaling network elements such as local and tandem switches, Mobile Switching Centers, Signal Transfer Points and Home Location Registers that are interconnected to remote network elements by IP•Tube SS7 SIG V35s are able to transmit their signaling messages over cost effective and flexible IP networks.
Reduced Transport Costs
Carriers significantly reduce SS7 transport costs by replacing expensive long-haul dedicated signaling links with very competitively priced IP connectivity between network elements. Service providers cut costs with SS7 Over IP by offloading data traffic from SS7 networks onto IP networks.
New Revenue Opportunities
The demand for data-centric services such as Short Message Service and Unified Messaging has created an opportunity for carriers to capitalize on new revenue generating opportunities. Cost-effective IP transport technology and service-rich SS7 applications enables carriers to quickly integrate enhanced services and capture new revenue.
Legacy Investment Protection
Establishing an SS7 network with IP•Tube SS7 SIGs does not require expensive forklift replacements or costly software upgrades for existing end nodes.
Deployment Flexibility
Widely available commercial and private IP networks provides the SS7 network designer with competitive options for interconnecting the signaling points.
Industry Standard SS7 Framer
The IP•Tube SS7 SIG V35 uses an industry standard SS7 Framer to receive and transmit SS7 messages. Minimal IP bandwidth is required to deliver SS7 since only the message data is encapsulated into IP packets.

Applications
Reduced Transport Costs
Carriers significantly reduce SS7 transport costs by replacing expensive long-haul dedicated signaling links with very competitively priced IP connectivity between network elements.
Long Haul SS7 Traffic via IP Networks
Low Cost IP Services, such as xDSL, have sufficient bandwidth to deliver the SS7 Over IP packets. SS7 Over IP network bandwidth utilization is limited to SS7 MSUs and LSSU.
Deployment Flexibility
Widely available commercial and private IP networks provides the SS7 network designer with competitive options for interconnecting the signaling points.
New Revenue Opportunities
Cost-effective IP transport technology and service-rich SS7 applications enables operators to quickly integrate enhanced services and capture new revenue.
SS7 Over IP
SS7 (Signaling System 7) separates the information required to set up and manage telephone calls inthe Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) onto a separate packet switched network (Signaling Network). It uses Message Signal Units (MSUs), Link Status Signal Units (LSSUs), and Fill-In Signal Units (FISUs) as signal units. The main protocols include MTP (Message Transfer Part – Level 1 to 3), SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Part), and ISUP (ISDN User Part).
