SigTran
Signalling Transport
RRP: £tbc
Duration: 2 hours 50 minutes
Course Goal
After completing this self-study you will have acquired a working
knowledge of SigTran.
Telephony protocols have been developed over decades, they are robust
and successful. In the ‘new era’ of converged networks where IP is being
promoted as the convergence protocol it becomes necessary to transport
these existing protocols over IP.
You will learn and recognize the terminology of SigTran. You will realize why
such a set of protocols are necessary and be able to describe their use.
