CCS/SS7 Gateway Signaling

Overview

The Common Channel Signaling/Signaling System 7 (CCS/SS7) Gateway Signaling service from EMBARQ™ allows you to have a single interface with EMBARQ's Local Telecommunications Division's (LTD) CCS/SS7 network, allowing you to ISUP (Integrated Services User Part) signal with EMBARQ's end offices or to access EMBARQ databases. You must connect to EMBARQ's CCS/SS7 network to signal with EMBARQ to terminate calls or access EMBARQ's database services.

EMBARQ's Integrated Network Operations (INO) provides customer support and network monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our network is reliable because our Signal Transfer Points (STPs) are dual and link sets are redundant and diversified.

With EMBARQ's CCS/SS7 Gateway Signaling service, you may:

• Simplify service connections by using one point of interface to access CCS/SS7 Signaling services.
• Reduce expenditures by lessening the number of circuits you have to purchase.

Features & Benefits

• One point of interface at a STP (Signal Transfer Point) pair for access to EMBARQ's CCS/SS7 Signaling Services - simplifies service connections.
• Network-to-network interconnection at one location of STP pair rather than multiple STP pair locations - reduces the number of links (circuits) you must purchase.
