GPT has designed and developed a Freephone and Premium Rate service on an IN architecture, which has been offered to a number of customers in the UK and elsewhere. The service has been delivered to Mercury Communications Limited, and has been used for live, revenue-generating traffic in the UK network since mid-1992. It has also been delivered to BT, and has been undergoing extensive trials for several months. The author describes the service features, the architecture of the product and the engineering and project management activities involved in bringing the product to market. Some of the lessons learned from the experience are also discussed.< >

The author describes the requirements of an intelligent network provider concentrating on the barriers and drivers to the take up of intelligent networks, INs, by industry and business. INs have the potential for rapid market growth provided that network operators and associated service providers can take full account of user needs. Sensitivity to user requirements will be needed in the design, marketing and presentation of intelligent network services if the market is to be developed. The author presents his own personal views of the potential barriers to the uptake of INs from a user perspective and describes some applications of intelligent network services for the industrial and commercial markets.< >

Some of the facts about intelligent networks (IN) are listed, along with an assessment of the hopes of IN that have not yet materialised. The intelligent network combines applications provided on computers with telephone switching networks. Development in the IN has focused on providing an evolving service-independent architecture that allows new services to be delivered quickly to networks. The author finishes by looking at some of the key issues to be solved to allow the goals of IN to end up as facts rather than fantasies.< >

The author seeks to elucidate the concerns of major users and to show the importance of user-centred design in relation to the future marketplace. Whilst awareness of advanced service offerings is high among multinational corporations and other large users, TUF has found (in the UK at least) that most medium sized companies currently have a low awareness of offerings such as virtual private networking (VPN). Communication with users should be a key element of service and product development to ensure future success.< >

The author presents 2 summaries of reports which describe the outlook for intelligent networks and related services in Europe and the US. These examine the network architectures deployed, services offered, regulatory actions and commercial postures. Substantial needs and demand for IN-like capabilities are identified, but no consensus in implementation of standardised architectures is observed.< >

For the first IN realization step the DBPT decided to use three competing individual complete IN-solutions from different vendors/vendor consortiums. Each solution has to provide a service management system (SMS), a service control point (SCP), and service switching points (SSPs). The author describes the Siemens IN system which was delivered to the DBPT in November 1992 and is undergoing field trials.< >
