Abstract :
The authors discuss the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN), an architecture that includes both IN/1+ and IN/2 and will be introduced in phases, with releases envisioned at two-year intervals. Phase 1 requirements will be released in 1989 and first applications are targeted for deployment in 1991/2. They examine some future technologies and their impact on the AIN. They describe an AIN system architecture that can respond to change, concentrating on the effect of switching-system evolution to narrowband and broadband ISDN.<>
