ITP MAP Gateway Solutions
Cisco has added the ability to terminate

MAP/TCAP in the ITP.
All ITP MAP Gateway Services are built on top of
this base infrastructure
Current planned services are:
Radius to MAP SIM Authentication for Wireless LAN
Multi-Layer Routing (example: SMS Routing)
Wireless LAN SIM Authentication

To play the Millionaire Game, send SMS to 1111.
For Television Game voting, send SMS to 2222.
ITP inspects SCCP, TCAP, MAP, and
