1. Practical Implementations of TINA_C concepts and specifications September 14th, 2000 Martine Lapierre TINA_C

2. Distributed Processing using CORBA is everywhere –All TMN is now choosing CORBA and IDL/UML tools –Most Servers like IN use CORBA internally Convergence of telephony and IT techniques happened –Voice over Packet replaces/extends the PSTN –GPRS, UMTS data, Internet NAS mix technologies –Convergence added value came (Unified mails, IN@IP...) TINA boosted IT & IP understanding in our companies –TINA trials are well known in ATM and 3G-Mobile R&D We use TINA foundations

3. We use TINA Business model but Interfaces have changed Ret: HTTP Tcon: SIP,... Cons: OSA,... Application Service Providers (CASP, IASP...) HTTP SIP OSA Retailer Connectivity Provider 3rd Party Serv. Prov. End User

4. Our achievements: TINA Products Some courageous trend-setters choices in 97/99 Sprint –ION early implementation: ATM always on services using the full TINA architecture and objects Starvision –SCMS-25000: TINA based control and management system of Atm and IP networks –offered in conjunction of MM conferencing A few TINA-like inside products, like Alcatel 1000E10 DHA

5. TINA Tools, beside the UML/OMG toolkits –TINA-ACE from CSELT –Y.SCE from GMG Focus –Platytool from Telstra Many TINA trials (non extensive list) on ATM and NM: –European projects (most manufacturers) –CDOT trial, and most operators R&D trials Platform and TINA components: Alcatel MU3S –product derived from European platform ALCIN Few decisions to convert them to industrial products... Our achievements: TINA pre-industrial

6. Call Handling CircuitInterfaces Data Handling Application DHA remains in the Softswitch version of the Call Control Example of TINA inside Alcatel switch A1000 DHA (Data Handling Application)SwitchingKernel Auxiliaries & Gateways DPE 1000E10switch  oft 

7. Example of Full TINA compliance Alcatel Mu3S Used in Geneva 99, another to KPN and their customers,... Full TINA platform with all the reference points specifications/code, objects,... The stability of the platform amazed R&D. Services spanned the entire space from e-content to broadband content delivery: added value on top of ADSL, ATM service managt,... Most visitors were more impressed by the TINA demo than by the services demo! Soft transition to the 3G Mobile MM Application Server in the same R&D team.

8. Alcatel Mu3S reuse in MMAS The TINA Session model Mu3S relies on the TINA session model 3 alternative DPE were built -> terminals Retailer Access Session Service Y Service Session Communication Session Enables FULL DPE Proxy to IN SSP DPE to Web conversion Logical channels Now Parlay legs Controls AAA, Brokering & Mobility

9. A TINA Success Story: (Telecom Service Access & Subscription) OMG TSAS Service Provider Domain Retailer Domain Consumer Domain Subscriber End-User...ITU Q27 & Q28 It is used in Industrial 3G Mobile Core Network nodes, like Alcatel MMCS and MMAS Restructured and simplified; aligned with Parlay 2.0 specs. Most of the specification is based on TINA specs

10. Next TINA Success Story: OSA 99 (Open Service architecture) A 3G Mobile standard by 3GPP,ETSI SPAN12,& ITU-T –OSA for UMTS release 99 has been finished and approved; work is ongoing for R 2000 It is based on the OMG TSAS framework User Location Call control Service capability server(s) interface class Open Service Architecture 3rd Party Application Network Mapping to network specific protocols (MAP, CAP, …) Network complexity hidden from applications OSA API User Interaction, Terminal Capability... It is used in Industrial 3G Mobile Core Network nodes, like Alcatel MMCS and MMAS

11. Conclusion TINA for next years The TINA techno arrived before its time –Corba was not mature –the Internet based interfaces force was underestimated If the original goal was too ambitious (one computing model all across the net), the application to the Service level is now granted –Network abstract model, TINA simplified in OSA –to become more distributed (SIP like) than Call centric (OSA like) The model will live –QoS in IP should resurrect stream binding notions –Open frameworks to feed a community of 3rd party services is a neverending fashion! Above all, TINA Core teamers are a network of HIGH POTENTIAL PEOPLE in our companies
