Digital connectivity and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) functionalities offer ways to bring new voice, data, and video applications to corporate network users. ISDN virtual private networks allow both small and large corporations to offer these applications to their users. Corporate network telephone users can have station and messaging features that were previously available only to users on the same private branch exchange (PBX). Remote access to centralized computers from personal computers (PCs), and computing resources associated with local area networks (LANs), are now available over digital corporate networks. Videoconferences can be arranged on demand on corporate networks between domestic and international locations. This paper describes current applications of modern corporate networks, and discusses some emerging applications that can be realized by ISDN.
