Abstract

The present situation related to intelligent networks (INs) in Europe is described. The projects and experiences of some single operators and main aspects of a joint initiative research activity currently carried out by various European countries (Eurescom) are discussed. In particular, the status of IN in the Italian SIP network, in the United Kingdom BT network, and in the France FT network is reviewed. Particular reference is made to the basic milestones of the IN project, the architectural approach adopted, the services provided, and the planned evolution. The objectives, the tasks, and the activities performed within the European group are also discussed.<>
