I have started to play with the SS7 stack a few years ago, while working for an NGN operator. I’ve been surprised to find out that they have released an SDK for developers wishing to build their own SS7-based products.

So, if you are a developer who wants to build an SMSC for example, you will only have to download the SS7 stack modules that you need and start coding! The stack also includes support for (M3UA & M2PA) so you actually don’t need extra hardware for the development process.Here you can find a sample application for exchanging SMS’es over a link.

There are multiple examples included in the SDK - ISUP, MAP, INAP, etc. Have a quick look on their website if you want to find out more about their SS7 products.

P.S. The SDK is available for C/C++ developers only.
