  4. Network Improvements • Transmission • FOTS • Switching • Electronic, digital • Signalling • Common Channel (Data Network) • Dynamic Routing Network Evolution II

  5. Transmission • Fibre • Most heavy route LD • Redundancy designed in • To the home • Heavy route microwave – gone • Short and/or light route microwave – almost gone • Microwave or cable (paired or co-ax) being replaced by FOTS Network Evolution II

  6. Switching • Electromechanical • Gone • Electronic - Analogue • Look hard, you may find some • Electronic – Digital • Almost universal • Electronic – Optical • Coming ?? Network Evolution II

  7. Montreal Switching Hierarchy 613 416, 519705 514 819 Class 1 Regional Centre Class 2 Sectional Centre Trunks Class 3 Primary Centre Class 4 Toll Centre Class 5 End Office Loops Network Evolution II

  8. Numbering Plan Country Code 1, 2 or 3 digits (Canada & US is 1, UK is 44, Taiwan is 886) Area Code 3 digits, middle is 0 or 1 (Eastern Ontario is 613) C. O. Code 3 digits, first one is not 0 or 1 (Carleton is 520) Subscriber 4 digits (Halim Yanikomeroglu is 5734) 1 - 613 - 520 - 5734 is unique Problem – North America ran out of area codes Solution – remove the 0 or 1 restriction Network Evolution II

  9. Signalling • Common Channel Signalling • A data network • Computer access • Separation between voice and signalling • Signalling information for many voice channels on one signal channel • Effectively a data network • Before, after and during Network Evolution II

  13. CCS7 Network Architecture TOLL (Primary ) STPs STP STP STP STP Links to Secondary STPs STP STP Network Evolution II

  14. Mobile Application Part • Provides Services to Mobile Phone Users • Location management • Call handling • Routing • Roaming • Called party availability • Etc. • Originally used RADIUS • Remote Authentication Dial In User Service • Now ‘Diameter’ • Internet Engineering Task Force Network Evolution II

  15. HPR COMPUTER HPR - Dynamic Routing VANC (or CAL, EDM, etc) St. JOHNS (or HFX, etc.) OT Trunks Control Monitoring TORONTO MONTREAL Effective in big-city networks Network Evolution II

  16. The Balance Shifts • Long distance • Cost and price plummet • No longer the financial mainstay • Built-in to cellphone service • Local service • New services with good revenues • BUT Competition from cellphones Network Evolution II

  17. CLASS Services • Call Forwarding • Calling Line ID • Calling Line ID Blocking • Auto Recall • Auto Call Back • Call Waiting • Ident-a-call Network Evolution II

  18. Intelligent Services 1 Switch 800 (888, 877, 866) Signalling links Database The 800 database can be programmed to return different numbers depending on the calling number, calling location and time-of-day Network Evolution II

  19. Intelligent Services 2 Switch Calling Card Checking Signalling links Database The Calling Card database fully automates the Q & A between an ‘operator’ and the customer Network Evolution II

  20. Bell LD Bell local Interconnection Issues Bell local Other local Bell LD Other LD Bell LD Other LD Bell local Other local Bell local • How do you connect? • How do you share the revenue? Network Evolution II

  21. Internet - Origins • 1969 ARPAnet • 1980s NSFnet (US), CA*net (Canada) • 1991 HTML (CERN) WWW • 1993 Mosaic Netscape Public Business Academia Network Evolution II

  22. Summary The key words are Change & Competition • 100 years of control, growth and industrial stability • Followed by 20 years of change • Followed by tumult • Leading to: - Anarchy? - Chaos? - Survival of the fittest • The technology is digital Network Evolution II

  23. Is the Network Relevant? • Yes • All voice traffic is carried on the network • Including LD cellphone calls • All Internet traffic is carried on the network • All other data is carried on the network • But • It is becoming a passive carrier • Services are provided at the ends Network Evolution II
