            Abstract : 
The architecture and major solutions adopted for a global system based on a prototype broadband integrated services digital network, developed as part of the BERKOM pilot project 5 are outlined. A reference model has been developed for the global architecture in order to guarantee the coherent development of the different modules and their interworking in the global system. A description is given of the BERKOM test network and reference model of the enhanced services offered
