Open Service Node For Intelligent Networks
Pasi Kemppainen, Olli Martikainen · 1997
Intelligent Networks (IN) is a concept that supports fast and flexible creation of new services in fixed and mobile networks. In addition to generic IN services provided by telecom operators there is a need for customer oriented smaller scale services, which can be integrated to the special needs of the customer or service provider. In this paper a lightweight IN service control environment called the Open Service Node (OSN) is introduced. The OSN environment is designed for third party service creation by service providers and it can be applied in the control of fixed, mobile and broadband networks. The OSN has been developed at Telecom Finland since 1991 and it has been used in pilot projects since 1993. Systems Software Partners Ltd. is a software house specialized in IN service creation. SSP has co-developed the OSN with Telecom Finland and is currently productizing it for the international markets. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
