QSIG is a peer-to-peer signaling system used in corporate voice networking.  Internationally, QSIG is known as Private Signaling System No. 1 (PSS1).  This open standard is based on the ITU-T Q.9XX series of recommendations for basic service and supplementary services.  Therefore, as well as providing inter-PBX communications, QSIG is compatible with public and private ISDN.

QSIG also has one important mechanism known as Generic Functional Procedures (QSIG GF).  This mechanism provides a standard method for transporting features transparently across a network.
