What is TCAP?

TCAP stands for Transaction Capabilities Application Part. It is a signaling protocol used in telecommunications networks, primarily in SS7 (Signaling System No. 7) environments. TCAP enables the exchange of non-circuit related information between signaling points, supporting features like database queries, mobile roaming, and prepaid services. It is commonly used for querying databases to provide supplementary services or for mobility management.
