An intelligent network (IN) is a service-independent telecommunications network. That is, intelligence is taken out of the switch and placed in computer nodes that are distributed throughout the network. This provides the network operator with the means to develop and control services more efficiently. New capabilities can be rapidly introduced into the network. Once introduced, services are easily customized to meet individual customer's needs. All intelligent networking for telecommunications involves the concept of a "query/response" system. This system entails the notion of distributed intelligence wherein a database is queried for information necessary for call processing. For example, a mobile communication switch or Mobile Switching Center (MSC), that is equipped with mobile IN call logic, can launch a message or "query" to a database hosted by a network element called a Service Control Point (SCP). The SCP processes the request and issues a "response" to the MSC so that it may continue call processing as appropriate. As the IN evolves, service providers will be faced with many opportunities and challenges. While the IN provides a network capability to meet the ever-changing needs of customers, network intelligence is becoming increasingly distributed and complicated. For example, third-party service providers will be interconnecting with traditional operating company networks. Local number portability (LNP) presents many issues that can only be resolved in an IN environment to meet government mandates. Also, as competition grows with companies offering telephone services previously denied to them, the IN provides a solution to meet the challenge. IN Resources: IEC: Intelligent Network IN Evolution Intelligent Network (IN) Service Creation International Intelligent Network (IN) Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) NEW ON THIS SITE: MVNO: is a GSM phenomenon where an operator or company which does not own a licenced sprectrum and generally with own networking infrastructure. Instead MVNOs resell wireless services under their brand name, using a regular telecom operator's network with which they have a business arrangements. Usually they they buy minutes of use (MOU) from the licenced telecom operator and then resell minutes of usage to their customers of MVNO. Currently MVNOs are emerging in fast pace in European markets and beginning in USA also. Slowly MVNO phenomenon catching up in Asia and other parts of the world also. READ MORE HERE |
