This introductory book explains the operation of the signaling system 7 (SS7) system and how it controls and interacts with other telephone networks. SS7 is the standard communication system that is used to control public telephone networks. In addition to voice control, SS7 technology now offers advanced intelligent network features and it has recently been updated to include broadband control capabilities, local number portability, and mobile communication services. SS7 networks are now interconnecting with and operating on Internet data networks.  This book will help the reader gain an understanding of SS7 technology, network equipment, and overall operation. It covers the reasons why SS7 exists and is necessary, as well as step-by-step procedures that describe the actions that occur in the network. SS7 Basics, 2nd Edition is for the technical and the non-technical reader alike.  SS7 network architecture including SSP, SCP, and STP operations.  Call processing control (ISUP) and broadband telephony applications (BISUP).  Mobile application part (MAP).  Transaction capabilities part (TCAP).

This book explains how to setup and manage mobile advertising marketing programs. Mobile advertising is the communication of messages or media content to one or more potential customers who use mobile devices. According to strategy analytics, the mobile advertising industry will reach $14.4 billion in 2011. In 2007, mobile advertising network AdMob.com was already delivering 1.5 billion mobile ads per month! Mobile advertising is different than other forms of media advertising. Ads can be targeted to very specific types of users, triggered to display at specific times, and have several new real-time interactive options. As a result, mobile ads have a much higher value than other types of advertising. Mobile ad click through rates of 3% to 4% are not uncommon. As with Internet advertising, many people already receive mobile ads but are unaware they have received (and may have responded to) mobile ads. Many mobile ads are small banners and/or text links that share a screen that the user has selected (such as a local movie directory). The types of mobile ads range from fairly simple text links to interactive software programs. Mobile ads have response types that range from text link clicks to launching new software applications. Mobile ad targeting can be performed by using mobile communication channel types that can include mobile communities, download sites, entertainment applications, information services, and specialty portals. The type of mobile ad and the way it operates varies based on the mobile device capabilities. These capabilities include display, media processing, limited amount of memory, and input control functionality. As a result, some guidelines have been created to help ensure the user s experience with mobile ads is reliable and acceptable. Different types of services including short text (SMS), multimedia messages (MMS), WAP, xHTML, or packet data connections may deliver advertising messages. Some of the most important topics featured include: - Types of Mobile Ads - Mobile Ad Networks - Economics of Mobile Advertising - How to Create Mobile Ads - Mobile Ad Placement - Measuring Mobile Ad Performance - Interactive Mobile Ads - Mobile Web Portals - Market Segments for Mobile Ads - Mobile Ad Guidelines

This book explains why people and companies are converting some or all of their existing (legacy) telephone systems from dedicated telephone systems (such as proprietary PBX) to more standard IP telephony systems. These conversions allow for telephone bill cost reduction, increased ability to control telephone services, and the addition of new telephone information services. Through the use of IP telephony service, companies can immediately reduce their telecommunication costs 40% to 70%. This book provides an overview of the different types of IP Telephony systems including IP PBX, IP Centrex and Internet Telephone systems. You will learn the key functional parts of voice over IP systems and how voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) systems work. Explained are the processes used to setup and control IP telephony service. The common IP Telephony protocols including session initiation protocol (SIP), Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) and H.323 are described as well. You will learn how to connect telephones through data networks using adapters or by using telephones that plug directly into data networks (IP telephones). Discover what equipment and service choices you have and how they can affect your costs and service quality. Find out how packet losses and packet delays creates distortion and operational challenges and ways to reduce or eliminate these effects. Advanced telephone features that are only possible through IP Telephony are described along with how customers can setup and configure their equipment through the use of self provisioning web portals.
