Advanced Intelligent Network Services Evolution

Increasing end customers' demand, innovative and rapidly evolving computer and software technologies, changing regulatory environment and telephone companies' (Telcos') financial needs are the key driving forces motivating the deployment of an advanced intelligent network. Business customers, large and small, as well as residential users are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They are demanding more services, faster service availability and more end customer control. Concurrently, rapidly progressing computer technologies are also pushing the public-switched network toward greater service intelligence, architecture robustness, and device-independence.
