- Request for Industry Input
- Personal Communications Applications
-
- Bellcore is currently understaking the investigation of new network
- access services to meet the communications needs of people on the
- move. The goals are to identify networking requirements and access
- network interfaces to achieve complete location and access
- transparency for applications using all media and to understand the
- impact on exchange and exchange access networks. This research takes
- the broad view of providing network access to personal, secure,
- location-independent, multimedia communications through both wireline
- and wireless facilities using a wide range of customer terminals,
- including pocket phones, notebook computers and portable workstations.
- The areas of research include:
-
- Systems and software architectures and access network interfaces for
- personalization and portability of services,
-
- The access network requirements generated by applications for new user
- interfaces and portable terminasl, including stylus-based notebook and
- palmtop computers,
-
- Interfaces and requirements for access to network-based data,
- signaling, and connection and resource management associated with
- personal, multimedia applications which include image, data, voice and
-
- Opportunities for local exchange networks to enable portable, secure,
- wireless transaction-oriented data services to support emerging
- non-voice applications such as messaging, point-of-sale transactions,
- database queries and file transfers.
-
- Bellcore is seeking industry participation in these investigations
- through the establishment of research collaborations to trial
- prototypes of new access network elements and interfaces used in
- conjunction with emerging wireless networks and end user technologies
- and their applications.
-
- If your company is a potential manufacturer of products in the
- personal communications applications area, a potential information
- service provider, a potential wireless service provider or a private
- or public laboratory with a research program in telecommunications and
- wishes to participate in these activities, we invite you to submit a
- brief, non-proprietary description of your proposed product or service
- and the potential applications. Members of the industry who are
- interested in participating should respond by January 15, 1993.
