Understanding ISDN
The Understanding ISDN course provides students with knowledge of the
history and usability of ISDN. In the 1960s, networks began using digital
transmission. By the mid 60s, the use of stored program control network switches
allowed carriers to offer more highly developed services. By the mid 70s, a
sophisticated Common Channel Signaling (CCS) mechanism (which later evolved into
Signaling System Number 7) allowed Intelligent Network (IN) switches to
communicate with one another or with network-based Service Control Points (SCPs)
to offer even more advanced services. However, in the midst of all these
advances, most users continued to access the network using analog technologies
which limited the user's bandwidth.
