SS7 (Signaling System 7) is a standard for control signaling in the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network.
SS7 signaling is done out-of-band, meaning that SS7 signaling messages are transported over a separate data connection. This represents a significant security improvement over earlier systems which used in-band signaling.
SS7 is referred to by many other names, including CCS7 (Common Channel Signaling System 7), C7, Number 7, and CCIS7 (Common Channel Interoffice Signaling 7).
