Compaq AlphaServer Intelligent Network Peripheral An Open Solution For AIN Services Partner Profiles For market-leading AIN capabilities, team with Telcordia, Compaq CustomSystems, and Cisco. Engineered to Central Office standards, the Compaq AlphaServer Intelligent Network (AIN) Peripheral is part of an online, realtime, high availability network solution. It is available in space-saving rackmount configurations with pre-packaged Dialogic(R) DM3(TM) technology for the Tru64 UNIX(R) environment. Telcordia Technologies, Inc. Telcordia Technologies, Inc., (formerly Bellcore), provides ISP node software that layers on top of the AlphaServer Intelligent Network Peripheral and manages call processing and allocation of resources. ISP software offers telecom service providers a whole new level of convenience by giving them the ability to control complex network functions with simple voice or touchtone commands. This means you can maximize your AIN investments by giving your services remarkable, added capabilities including o Integrated multimedia mailboxes o User controlled conference calling o Privacy and screening control Compaq CustomSystems The AlphaServer Intelligent Network Peripheral is based on Compaq Alpha 64-bit architecture using the CustomSystems AlphaServer Voice Platform as the Voice Peripheral and voice recognition technology from Voice Control Systems, Inc. It provides maximum performance and call handling capabilities in a fully redundant configuration with no single point of failure using Compaq Tru64 UNIX TruCluster technology. Highlights o Supports the development of a wide range of services from o Follow-Me and Teen-Screen to Integrated Messaging, Voice Recognition, and Customer Care and Administration o Is a highly scalable platform that currently supports over 600 voice ports in a switched environment and even more ports based on customer requirements in a switchless environment o Is a high-availability NEBS-certified platform o Supports AIN 0.1 and AIN 0.2. o Provides growth to 1 terabyte of storage for advanced services o Uses a dual FDDI network (100Mbps) to access and deliver system- based announcements and subscriber voice data Maintenance and Operations Console (MOC) The MOC, an Alpha workstation running Tru64 UNIX, provides a GUI interface that enables users to determine the health of the ISP system components and take corrective action to resolve system problems and avoid service interruptions. One local MOC is included with each AlphaServer Intelligent Network Peripheral system. Additional MOCs can be purchased separately. Announcement Administration Peripheral (AAP) The AAP, is a platform for administering voice announcements. The audio equipment plays pre-recorded tape or, optionally, provides live voice (via microphone). The AAP software digitizes the output, and includes tools to edit, enhance, and modify the announcements. The AAP is an optional component and is not bundled with the AlphaServer Intelligent Network Peripheral. Even one second of downtime can be an eternity in an advanced intelligent networkÉ You can be confident in the Compaq/Telcordia partnership which has been delivering 95% of the 100 billion toll- free numbers in the U.S. without a single outage.
