Consolidation of existing signal transfer points in a telecommunication network

A network controller configured to manage networked devices, the network controller comprising:

• memory having computer-readable instructions stored therein;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
• identify a first pair of signal transfer point devices to be decommissioned from a telecommunication network;
• identify a second pair of signal transfer point devices to assume, in part, functionalities of the first pair of signal transfer point devices, each signal transfer point device of the first pair and the second pair having at least one primary point code and at least one secondary point code;
• activate, on each signal transfer point device of the first pair and the second pair, a multiple point code feature;
• and
• modify at least one secondary point code of each signal transfer point device of the second pair with a primary point code of at least one signal transfer point device of the first pair.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a network controller, cause the network controller to:

• identify a first pair of signal transfer point devices to be decommissioned from a telecommunication network;
• identify a second pair of signal transfer point devices to assume, in part, functionalities of the first pair of signal transfer point devices, each signal transfer point device of the first pair and the second pair having at least one primary point code and at least one secondary point code;
• activate, on each signal transfer point device of the first pair and the second pair, a multiple point code feature;
• and
• modify at least one secondary point code of each signal transfer point device of the second pair with a primary point code of at least one signal transfer point device of the first pair.
