A multi-port link interface capable of high-speed time division multiplexed communications at a signal transfer point is disclosed. In one implementation, the multi-port link interface module is located in the signal transfer point, terminates two or more high-speed TDM links and generates internal data. Data received on one high-speed communications link is combined with the internal data used to fill outbound timeslots in an outgoing high-speed link. The data may include signaling data, bearer data, or signaling and bearer data.

Methods and systems for improving utilization of high-speed time division multiplexed communications links at signal transfer point

Methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically provisioning prepaid mobile subscriber information in a telecommunications network are provided. In one method, a location management message regarding a prepaid mobile subscriber is received at a routing node. The routing node determines whether a routing address translation entry exists for the prepaid mobile subscriber. If a routing address translation entry does not exist, the routing node sends a notification message to a provisioning system. The provisioning system receives the notification message and provisions an HLR with subscription information for the subscriber. The provisioning system also sends routing address translation information to the routing node for provisioning an entry in the routing address translation database for the subscriber. The routing node may then either route the original location management message to the HLR or discard the original message and wait until the MSC retransmits the location management message.
