Description
Summary:The authors examine some key data processing applications to be used in conjunction with the voice and facsimile services as a platform for deploying ISDN (integrated services digital network) in North America. Special emphasis is placed on the emerging standards of both Accredited Standards Committees (ACS) T1 and X3 in an attempt to harmonize the computer and telecommunication industries towards providing the user with an integrated platform that is vendor-transparent and ubiquitous. This generic platform, which spans a large spectrum of businesses, is presented as a base context for defining user-specific needs and incubating the applications that directly relate to businesses. Distributed transaction processing, electronic data interchange, information retrieval, electronic mail, and file transfer together with seven supplementary services for voice and G4 facsimile are proposed for ISDN deployment in the marketplace. The authors describe how the relevant standards may be exercised through the various ISDN channels and emphasize the value of the North American ISDN User's Forum for commercializing this platform.< >
