Originally designed for TDM based transport, SS7 is the foundation of signalling within PSTN and PLMN networks. This course will catalogue the operation of SS7, both from an architectural and procedural perspective. Key focus will be placed on the operation of the MTP lower layers, as well as analysis of SCCP and ISUP. In addition, this course will also focus on the transport of SS7 across IP based transport networks. As part of this, the Sigtran User Adaptation layers will be examined, as well as the operation of SCTP.

SS7 and Sigtran Training Course in Australia

Australia is the smallest continent yet it's also one of the largest countries in the World. As the oldest and flattest continent, Australia is a mega-diverse country with a vast variety of landscapes, climates and animals. Canberra is the capital city while Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne are the more popular ones. Australia is a developed country with a high-income economy and a member of the United Nations, G20 and the Commonwealth of Nations.

While cricket and football are the most popular sports in Australia, the Australian Open tennis grand slam tournament is a major international event that takes place in this country. The island of Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Great Barrier Reef, Kangaroo Island, Kakadu National Park, Whitsunday Islands and The Pinnacles are some of the jaw-dropping places in Australia.

We offer a wide range of IT courses, from cybersecurity, data science and software development to business skills and project management, and we can host training at your preferred location in Australia. Let our experienced instructors provide you with hands-on training and practical insights.
