Abstract

The Intelligent Network(IN) provides an efficient way to deploy and implement advanced services. In Taiwan, telecommunications are monopolized by the DGT (Directorate General of Telecommunication) of MOTC. Begin at 1994, the DGT is going to deploy IN services so as to meet its customers' requirements both in residential and business. This paper describes the IN evolution plan in Taiwan as well as the DGT's self construction. The self construction will deploy and implement new services suitable to Taiwan customers. The first construction of IN in Taiwan includes the following three services: Advanced Free Phone(AFP), Mass Calling Service(MCS), and Credit Telephone Service(CTS). Then, TL will build the International Terminating Call Screening(ITCS) by itself. The second construction of IN will include Virtual Private Network(VPN) . The further will be Personal Number(PN) services. For the purpose of assuring the success of technology transfered from bidder, TL follow the CCITT standard to have built a IN Service Emulation System(NSES) which provides an IN environment to test the new service, protocol, and verify transfered technology. The major responsibility of TL is to provide the latest high-tech communications services, introduce new technologies and create self-reliance forward-looking technologies needed for national economic development.
