Call Control Component implementing converged Telephony-Internet networks
Paolo Falcarin, Patricia Lago · 2001
Global telecommunications are in the early stages of a fundamental transformation, in which telecommunication networks and information technologies are yielding converged networks named Next Generation Networks (NGN). In this context this article presents a call control component able to handle calls between a telephone and a PC, accordingly to actions decided by the application layer that sets up and redirects calls between terminals over heterogeneous networks like Internet and PSTN. This goal is achieved through software adapters offering APIs porting standard protocols like Media Gateway Control Protocol and Intelligent Network Application Protocol (INAP), to CORBA-based software components.
