A telecommunications network in which complex call processing, routing, and network management are provided by means of centralized database at a few points, rather than from a speed signaling network carrying information on call setup to an individual switch
An advanced architecture for a telephone network. Its foundations are built on the evolution of computer based switches and Signaling System 7. A network that can offer advanced services without rewriting the software on, or re-engineering the hardware of, the central office switch.
A switched voice and data network consisting of a variety of nework elements. It refers to open interfaced, multi-vendor, telecommunications capabilities that let phone companies create and customize their service offerings.
A telephone network architecture that adds advanced computer intelligence to the telephone system. AIN supports advanced telecommunications features such as voice recognition.
A U.S. variant of intelligent network (IN) technology evolving from earlier research work and specifications carried out by Bellcore.
A system that allows the telecommunications providers a mechanism to quickly and economically create and/or modify services for their customers.
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.
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.
An evolving, service-independent architecture that allows a carrier to quickly and economically create and modify telecommunication services for its customers.
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.
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. Developed by Bell Communications Research, AIN is recognized as an industry standard in North America.
