Sector: IT - Telecommunications

Design and implement an IPBX Asterisk solutions for a Call Center.

During the summer 2006 I did an internship at Telekomunikacja Polska SA in Krakow, Poland.

I worked in the Network Branch, Department of Monitoring and Network Management, and to be more precise in the SS7 Signalling Management Centre.

SS7 is a set of telephony signalling protocols which are used to set up the vast majority of the world's PSTN telephone calls.

SS7 provides a universal structure for telephony network signalling, messaging, interfacing, and network maintenance. It deals with establishment of a call, exchanging user information, call routing, different billing structures, and supports Intelligent network (IN) services.

SS7 is also important in linking VoIP traffic to the PSTN network and it is also used in the mobile cellular telephony networks like GSM and UMTS for voice (Circuit Switched) and data (Packet Switched) applications.

The main skill I had to achieve is the ability to analyze events in SS7 signalling network environment and to analyze signalling messages exchanges concerning a VoIP platform. I also wrote a Intranet application to show relevant Key Performance Indicators from The Call Data Records.
