[asterisk-ss7] If you were me which SS7 Links would you choose in a non VoiP Country?

[Goke M Aruna]

hello all,

it is an africa company and the best for him is to locate his network in a
place where all the telcos have their switching centers. they always locate
it close to each other because of the backbone connectivity limitation
especially in nigeria,

Thanks
