A method and system provide for using an integrated broadband and
narrowband SS7 signaling gateway with M3UA and point code mapping. In
general terms one embodiment of the system has: a single physical media
carrying at least one bearer path and at least one signaling link, the
physical media being operatively connected to a signaling network; and an
integrated media and signaling gateway operatively connected to the
physical media, the integrated gateway being a termination for both the
bearer path and the signaling link.
