Abstract

A signalling point of a telecommunications network comprises a Transport Independent Call Control (TICC) part 4. A signalling transport part 6 is arranged to exchange call control signalling information with the TICC part 4 and with a peer TICC part at a remote signalling point. A signalling transport converter 5 is arranged logically between the TICC part 4 and said signalling transport part 6 and is arranged to present a standard interface to the TICC part 4 and a specific interface to the signalling transport part 6, wherein said call control signalling is exchanged between the TICC part 4 and the signalling transport part 6 via the signalling transport converter 5.
