| NOTAS: | Sinopse:
"The emergence of the intelligent network (IN) significantly affected the evolution of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The IN offered new ways of using the PSTN and raised users' expectations of it. As Internet protocol (IP) - based networks for data and telephony services have evolved, the character of IN development has been affected accordingly.
Rapid deployment of enhanced voice and data services is critical to achieving success in today's market, and the convergence of IP and the IN is a key enabler of that goal. As service providers move toward optical solutions in the access, metro, and core networks, the issues of network intelligence, service creation and control, provisioning, and management are becoming more pressing.
To help providers succeed in today's IP - based optical environment, the International Engineering Consortium is pleased to present IP and the Intelligent Network: The Road to Convergence. This comprehensive report examines the evolving role and nature of network intelligence and how IP and the IN will work together in the emerging next-generation network (NGN)." |
