The Intelligent Network - changing the face of telecommunications

Article Abstract:

The Intelligent Network is the Regional Bell Operating Companies infrastructure for new service offerings. The major components of the Intelligent Network architecture are a switching system, a signaling network, a centralized data base, and an operations support system to support the data base. Using the Intelligent Network architecture and appropriate triggers in switching systems, a number of new services can be offered through software changes, permitting the changes to be available immediately throughout a large geographical area; the services would work in a uniform manner throughout that area. The Service Control Point (SCP) part of the Intelligent Network is an online, fault-tolerant, transaction-processing data base that replies to network queries with call handling information. The Service Management System (SMS) part of the Intelligent Network is an interactive operations support system that processes and updates customer records. The Advanced Intelligent Network is the second phase of the Intelligent Network; it is focused on rapid development and customized development.

Satellite communications systems and technology, circa 2000

Article Abstract:

The transition of the world-wide, public telephone network from an analog medium to an all-digital medium should be completed by the year 2000. Developments in satellites will continue toward narrower beams, increased satellite power, increased number of beams, onboard processing to regenerate signals, phased array narrow multibeam antennas, and onboard processing. This development work is directed to providing highly efficient satellite voice, data, and video services that will communicate without needing point-to-point terrestrial linkage. The services will use small fixed and mobile earth terminals that can be distributed anywhere on earth.
