Asterisk SS7 via Signal Media Gateway

As a component of the Signal Media Gateway, ss7box and ss7boost provides call setup and intelligent network function signals over an IP network. ss7box lets you leverage the power and share the expense of SS7 links by providing SS7 access to a cluster of Asterisk platforms.

Application Access

ss7box Application Access provides an MTP3 interface to your application using a subset of the M3UA (RFC 3332) protocol. There is no faster way to connect your application to the SS7 network. It allows you to spend more of your R&D budget on your application and minimize how uch you spend on basic SS7 network access technology. It takes you from test bench to production with proven reliability and performance.

ss7box Application Access can be setup in about an hour. A sample application program and a load generator program gets your development started immediately. The application runs on the same platform as ss7box, or on a separate platform connected to ss7box over a small private LAN.

CNAM Access

CNAM Access allows you to implement your own Calling Name Database or access the national CNAM database network via the Internet. The project is described on the wiki.

LNP Access

LNP Access allows you to implement your own Local Number Portability Database or access the national Local Number Portability database network via the Internet.

TFS Access

TFS Access allows you to implement your own Toll-Free Service Database or access the national Tool-Free Service database network via the Internet.

LIDB Access

LIDB Access allows you to implement your own Line Information Database (LIDB) or query the distributed LIDB on the SS7 network. The LIDB contains essential information for verifying services such as Billing Number Services (collect, third number charging), Calling Card, and Operator Services. ss7box provides a simple IP interface requiring minimal information. IP side queries are converted to full LIDB queries and sent on the network, LIDB replies are converted to simple responses and sent on the IP network to the query originator.

Signal Transfer Point

The transfer function is built into each and every ss7box application. Grow your own SS7 network.
