Two Decades in Telecom Software Development

A Journey Through Telecom Evolution

Looking back at my 20 years in telecom software development, I’ve witnessed incredible technological transformations.

Early Days: Circuit-Switched Networks

When I started, the industry was dominated by traditional circuit-switched networks. We dealt with:

  • TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) systems
  • SS7 signaling protocols
  • Legacy switching equipment
