like any other job it the necessity depends on your location, like in USA
there are more CCIEs then in Kenya for example.
but specific to the point SS7 is Telephony Technology and there are a lot of
SS7 guys but not a lot of SS7 to IP (SIGTRAN) guys (again it is only in
general)
regarding the PGW it is one out of several available platforms in the
industry today but it is not a wide range of activity in my opinion as the
SS7 you configure once if you lucky and you start a platform from scratch.
and the IP side, well it is more like a typing job as you need to add
extensions and trunks and other issues, the most interesting issue in this
work is interconnection between other carriers (Over IP) and analyzing
packets but that not something that every tech is doing at first.
so again it is interesting depending on your place in the hierarchy.
my suggestion to you is look carefully where are you want to be in 5 years,
if it is Voice Engineer it is nice but I think that most of the job are
still in the networking, and I am saying that as a voice engineer (studying
to the RS)
I am one of the lucky ones that are on top of the hierarchy and there is
nothing that is done with out me being involved but it is not like that in
every company.
