The document discusses the Telscale SS7 card, which converts SS7 signaling into SIGTRAN protocols. It can be used as a standalone SS7 terminal or to interface existing PBXs to SIP networks. The card uses an FPGA and DSP running Linux to interface E1/T1 lines and implement various SS7 protocols in software. Current goals include optimization, new features, and improving usability. The card is already in production use and aims to provide a flexible platform for SS7 and SIGTRAN applications.
