# CCS - Common Channel Signaling

On CCS type of channel the signaling is carried separeted from voice path. SS7.

**Common Channel Signaling (CCS)** is a method used in telecommunications where the control signals for setting up, managing, and terminating calls are separated from the voice channels.
