Advanced intelligent network (AIN)

This technology permits telecommunication service operators a rapid creation and modification to enhance network performance. In this concept, the telecommunication service providers require greater control for new service offerings. Here it is easily possible to separate the specification, creation and fine control of telecommunication services from PSN (physical switching network) such that the HLR (home location register) and the VLR (visitor location register) are no longer integrated in the MSC (mobile switching centre).
Network characteristics of AIN
1. Service logic-it invokes service logic programs
2. It is very much service independent
3. Division to modules possible (we can divide into functional entities)
4. Accessible for neighbors- other service provider
5. It is uniform and now the architecture is universally standard
6. Programmable network operable by both user and service provider.
7. System is transparent with an open general architecture.
8. Common channel signaling
9. New services can be incorporated easily and speedily
AIN elements
1. Service control point
2. Adjunct system
3. Service node
4. Intelligent peripheral
5. AIN switch
6. Operational system
7. Signaling transport point
8. Service management system
9. Service switching point
