Impact of mobility an a pan-European intelligent network a view from Eurescom project P230

The number of services based on intelligent networks (IN) is increasing rapidly in the national markets of most public network operators (PNO). As intelligent network services continue to evolve and prove their value on a national level, and as customer bases expand internationally, there is a natural demand to extend these telecommunications capabilities globally. The increasing complexity makes it more difficult, if not impossible, to provide a truly “end-to-end” global service if each participating PNO plans, designs, and implements its own service. Eurescom Project P230 on “Enabling pan-European Services by co-operation between PNO´s IN platforms” started in mid-1992. One of the aims of the project was to perform a study on the new possibilities provided by the integration of IN services and mobile networks (DECT access, GSM). The work has been extended to investigate the impact of mobility on internetworking
