Agenda • Few words about ETSI • ETSI’s work on Internet Telephony • History • Creation of TIPHON • TIPHON’s goals and ambitions • TIPHON’s project plan • TIPHON’s deliverables David Gurle
ETSI - Objective • To produce the technical standards which are necessary to achieve a large unified European Telecommunications market David Gurle
ETSI - Membership • 418 Full Members from 32 countries • 88 Observers from 17 countries • 31 Associate Members from 12 countries • Membership is growing steadily... David Gurle
ETSI - Major achievements • Mobile networks • GSM (Global System Mobile) • DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Terminal) • TETRA (Terrestrial Trunk Radio) • Fixed networks • ISDN • B-ISDN/ATM • SDH • Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) David Gurle
3COM Alcatel Belgacom Cisco Deutsche Telekom Ericsson France Telecom KPN Lucent Technologies Motorola Nokia Nortel/MICOM Siemens AG Post & Telekom Austria Telia VocalTec David Gurle
TIHPON - Goals • Main objective • Combine telecommunications and Internet technologies to enable voice communications over IP-based networks to work with existing PSTN/ISDN/GSM networks • Philosophy • to create a competitive environment which allows to produce specifications with a global acceptance David Gurle
TIPHON - Scope • Initial focus on voice communications • 3 phases: • Phase 1 (until end of 1997): Voice communication from an IP-based terminal to PSTN/ISDN/GSM handset • Phase 2 (until June 1998) : Voice communication from PSTN/ISDN/GSM hand set to IP-based terminals • Phase 3 (until December 1998): Voice communications from PSTN/ISDN/GSM handsets to PSTN/ISDN/GSM handsets using an intermediary IP-based network David Gurle
TIPHON - Technical Objectives • define set of requirements for service interoperability; • identify reference configurations, interfaces and functional models (gateway) • specify call control procedures, information flows and protocols; • standardize address translation between E.164 and IPv4/v6 addresses David Gurle
TIPHON - Technical Objectives (…) • specify technical aspects of charging/billing • specify technical aspects of security • define end-to-end quality of service parameters, including transcoding and echo-cancellation • implement and build demonstrating environment for TIPHON based products, the TIPHON Net! David Gurle
