Features of SS7

Introduction of this form of signaling is essential for the development of telecom networks in any country because of the following features:
1. Internationally standardised by the ITU.
2. SS7 is suitable for any transmission medium i.e., can be operated over both terrestrial and satellite links.
3. Even though SS7 is optimised to work with digital SPC exchanges utilising 64 kbps digital channels, it is suitable for operation over analog channels.
4. SS7 is suitable for various communication services such as telephony, text, data, images and video.
5. Transport mechanism is application independent.
6. High performance and flexibility along with a future oriented concept which meets new requirements.
7. High reliability for message transfer.
8. Processor friendly structure of the messages (signal units in multiples of 8 bits).
9. SS7 networks are much faster, efficient in the call setup and teardown process.

10. Flexible structure which accommodates all the technical advancement in telecommunication systems.
