Intelligent
Networks, INAP & CAMEL |
Training Course Outline
Course Duration:
2 days
Training Course Description:
The goal of the Intelligent Network (IN) concept was to decouple
services and features from the switches themselves - that is seperate
service intelligence from the switching functions. This was to allow
network operators to be able to develop and deploy services and
features independently of the switch vendors, allowing more
versatility in service development, simplified rollout, reduced costs
and greater autonomy.
To this end the Intelligent Network Application Protocol (INAP) was
developed for fixed line networks. INAP is the primary protocol used
for fixed line IN outside of North America.
Customised Applications for Mobile Enhanced Logic (CAMEL) provides
standardised intelligent network capabilities for GSM networks. It was
based upon core INAP with modifications to take into account
subscriber mobility.
Prerequisites:
Students should have a good basic telecommunication background, with a
basic understanding of mobile/cellular communications. SS#7 &/or
Intelligent Networking would also be an advantage. Additional modules
are available should these introdcutory areas be required.
