Instrumental in helping grow the company from 50,000 end users, to 2.5 million end users nationally. These POPs started with a variety of T1s, PRIs, and ISUP trunks. We chose to implement SS7 for signaling to save costs, and fully integrate with the PSTN to eventually supply voice service to our customers. I was responsible for turning up the POPs by first setting up links, linksets, and/or combined linksets by setting up the proper translations in our switches.
These settings included relevant DPC, ADC, CICs, and CLLI codes along with the previously mentions links and linksets I would then test layers 1 through layer 3 of our SS7 links to a variety of STPs with our SS7 provider. Once ISUP testing was completed and passed, I would turn up and test PRIs, T1s, or ISUP trunks depending on the requirements of that POP. These were normally terminated into a DS3, whether the carrier originated a DS3, or originated DS1s by multiple carriers' muxed into a single DS3
