Interesting SS7 remarks from ASND Yahoo thread (yeah, I was slumming....) messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Message 15183 of 15266 Reply Ken, From: Layer3Ent May 13 1998 10:41PM EDT Nice post: Note to the VoIP technology; this will note be confined to on-net IP voice applications as you described. VoIP AND their SS7 signaling will allow for regular "hand-set" voice services to ride over the internet, or any production frame relay / ATM network (ie Ascend's carrier customer base). This is more than huge, the whole techology is the single most critical step in replacing the 120 year old telephony network (a 10 trillion - that's with a "T" investment). Message 15214 of 15266 from Layer3Ent Reply Ken... Layer3Ent May 14 1998 5:33PM EDT Thanks for your answer. It does make sense, but it also seems to be a self fullfilling prophisy... As for SS7, it stands for Switching System 7, and its used by the world's phone company switch systems to "communicate". It is the seventh version of this protocol (hence the name... phone companies are so original). And yes it is one of the key signaling features you need when your replacing a 120 year old $10 trillion dollar investment. Not a bad market to be in wouldn't you say? From: Layer3Ent
