Publication number: 20070093249Abstract: A method of providing a telecommunication system, including transferring data over a standard link between a first and a second telecommunication device in a telecommunication network and establishing a wireless cellular link to transfer the data between the first and second telecommunication devices when the data transfer over the standard communication link is impaired. The first device may be a Service Switching Point (SSP), and the second device may be a Signal Transfer Point (STP). The standard link may include a hardwire or an optical link. In the wireless cellular link, data is typically transferred using a Signaling System 7 protocol over a cellular network and a Public Switched Telephone Network. The wireless cellular link may be established in response to a failure detected in the standard link. Signals provided by the first device may be converted to and from a format for transmission over the wireless cellular link.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2005Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: SBC Knowledge Ventures L.P.Inventors: Shadi Khoshaba, Nikhil Marathe
