Networks using sophisticated devices to facilitate roaming by subscribers outside of their home location area.

is a telephone service architecture that separates CTI services from call switching and will make it easier to add new services. The Windows Telephony Application Program Interface (TAPI) and Novell's TSAPI are programming interfaces intended to make it easier to create applications that enable telephone services on a personal computer or in a local area network

Advanced Intelligent Network. A system that allows a wireless user to make and receive phone calls while roaming in areas outside the user's "home" network. AINs enable service providers to define, test and introduce new multimedia messaging, PCS and cell routing.

Advanced Intelligent Network. A telephone network architecture that adds advanced computer intelligence to the telephone system. AIN supports advanced telecommunications features such as voice recognition.

Advanced Intelligent Network. A system that allows the telecommunications providers a mechanism to quickly and economically create and/or modify services for their customers.

Advanced Intelligent Network. A U.S. variant of intelligent network (IN) technology evolving from earlier research work and specifications carried out by Bellcore.

The Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) is a telephone network architecture that separates service logic from switching equipment, allowing new services to be added without having to redesign switches to support new services. It encourages competition among service providers since it makes it easier for a provider to add services and it offers customers more service choices.

advanced intelligent network; a service-independent telecommunications network in which the intelligence is moved from the switch and hosted in computer nodes distributed throughout the network.

Advanced Intelligent Network. The Telcordia/Bellcore version of the "intellignet network," which is the public switched telephone system (PSTN). The AIN provides enhanced voice, video and data services and dynamic routing capabilities by using two different networks. The actual voice call is transmitted over a circuit-switched network, but the signaling is done on a separate packet-switched network known as SS7.

The second generation of intelligent networks, pioneered by Bellcore (which is now Telcordia). A service-independent network architecture that enables carriers to create and uniformly support telecom services and features via a common architectural platform, with the objective of allowing for rapid creation of customizable telecommunication services.

Advanced Intelligent Network A dynamic database used in Signaling System 7. It supports advanced features by dynamically processing the call based upon trigger points throughout the call handling process and feature components defined for the originating or terminating number.

A means of implementing value-added services in the PSTN using a external service logic and databases similar to the Intelligent Network but following a set of Bellcore standards and deployed in North America.

Advanced Intelligent Network. An evolving, service-independent network and operations infrastructure developed by Bellcore that is intended to enable service providers to more rapidly and cost effectively introduce and customize services. AIS - Abbreviation for Automated Information System.

Advanced Intelligent Network. An evolving, service-independent architecture that allows a carrier to quickly and economically create and modify telecommunication services for its customers.

Advanced Intelligent Network. A telephone network architecture that separates service logic from switching equipment, allowing new services to be added without having to redesign switches to support new services. A later version of Intelligent Network, AIN uses a "service-independent" architecture in which a given part of a telephone number can be interpreted differently by different services depending on factors such as time of day, caller identity, and type of call. AIN is recognized as an industry standard in North America because it makes it easier for a provider to add services, it offers customers more service choices and it encourages competition among service providers.
