Product Details

Sprint's Type 2S Interconnection interface is a physical CCS/SS7 signaling link connection between the Sprint network and your network.

The Type S interface is used between your network and Sprint's to exchange CCS/SS7 Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISDNUP) and CCS/SS7 Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages. These messages support applications to be provided between you and Sprint. The physical interconnections are based on established Telcordia standards.

The Type S interface is a physical interconnection and does not by itself include any applications. Defining what applications are supported on a Type S interface are determined between you and Sprint.

No trunk connections are included in or with the Type S interface. With regard to the set up and release of a trunk connection, the Type S interface must be used in conjunction with the Type 2A or 2B interconnection with CCS/SS7 interface.
