1. A signaling network gateway device for use in a signaling network comprising:

  • a protocol interface unit operable to convert signaling information between a first format and a second format, the protocol interface unit operable to exchange signaling information in the second format with an access element providing communications with a telecommunication user;

    a signaling transport unit operable to perform link speed conversion on the signaling information in the first format, the signaling transport unit operable to exchange signaling information in the first format with a transport signaling link of the signaling network at a desired rate; and

    a signaling gateway control unit operable to control an exchange of signaling information in the first format between the signaling transport unit and the protocol interface unit.
