Trying to learn, not be snippy.
If I have to maintain any of the old way, what's the advantage in moving any of it elsewhere? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Timmins" <p...@timmins.net> To: "Mike Hammett" <voice...@ics-il.net> Cc: "voiceops" <voiceops@voiceops.org> Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2022 12:01:01 AM Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] SS7 Landscape Even without IPES you can switch your feature group D to voip through these aggregators and get rid of basically everything that isn't the local LEC's legacy network.

I am working on IPES for expansion markets, though. Also, for my home LATA, I'm needing to be in the same building as the primary tandem, so it's kind of a selling point for large customers in that area that I would have fewer opportunities for failures. I don't have to go to Chicago and back to get to the operator in the next row of racks over. Though, I suppose my SS7 diversity and availability is the weakness, not the actual call path. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Timmins" < p...@timmins.net > To: "Mike Hammett" < voice...@ics-il.net > Cc: "voiceops" < voiceops@voiceops.org > Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2022 1:46:46 PM Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] SS7 Landscape Reduce your reliance on it more and more. Switch to IP tandems (Inteliquent/Peerless/etc) and ip interconnect. The people who make and support SS7 equipment are in a dying market, the brain drain on it is immense as people retire, and the longer you rely on it, the worse it's gonna get. TNS is a big dog in the space. But that's not saying much anymore. <blockquote> On Jan 22, 2022, at 10:00 AM, Mike Hammett < voice...@ics-il.net > wrote: We currently get our SS7 via TNS. I (maybe incorrectly) understand them to be a big dog in that space. I've had two major problems with them in six months. What are my alternatives? Are they less pleasant? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps@voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops </blockquote>
