Abstract
A signal transfer point-like network routing element capable of providing call signaling services required in a mobile communications network is disclosed. A mobile services routing node can be configured to provide the functionality of a Home Location Register (HLR), a Visitor Location Register (VLR), an Equipment Identification Register (EIR), and an Authentication Center (AuC). As such, the mobile services routing node is adapted to receive mobile service related signaling messages, perform the necessary mobile service processing, and route response messages as required.
