For years, users have heard the hype about ISDN's ability to provide high-capacity transmissions for voice and data over telephone lines. Recently, this promise has become a reality with the national deployment of the ISDN technology. In addition, ISDN has provided an efficient means to access the widely used Signaling System 7 (SS7). Trusted telecommunications expert Uyless Black has put together a complete yet accessible guide to the basics of narrowband signaling and the specifications for ISDN and SS7. He also discusses the potential applications of the protocol, including video conferencing, Internet access, and mobile and wireless 800 service. Topics include:
