Overview
SIST EN 301 827 V1.1.1:2005 defines the inter-exchange signalling protocol for Private Integrated Services Networks (PISN), focusing on wireless terminal call handling through additional network features (ANF). Based on and modifying ISO/IEC 15431:2003, this standard is essential for organizations deploying and managing PISNs with wireless terminal mobility. The protocol, a part of QSIG (PSS1 protocol), delivers unified call routing and handling for wireless users within a private network, significantly enhancing mobility and flexibility.
The standard is published by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and aligns with international practices laid down by ETSI and ISO/IEC.
Key Topics
- Wireless Terminal Mobility: ANF-WTMI enables the routing of incoming calls to users with wireless terminals anywhere within the PISN, provided their location is known in the network.
- Home Location Call Processing: ANF-WTMO allows call requests from wireless terminal users to be handled at their home location within the network.
- Protocol Integration: The signalling protocol described supports integration at the Q reference point in PISN networks, ensuring compatibility with existing digital and ISDN-based system architectures.
- Exclusions: The standard’s scope is limited to mobility within the PISN; roaming outside of the private network is not addressed in this edition.
- Reference Modifications: Modifications to the original ISO/IEC standard ensure compliance and harmonization with related European standards and terminologies.
Applications
- Enterprise Networks: Organizations with large or distributed office campuses benefit from unified wireless terminal mobility, allowing staff to move freely and stay accessible across network sites.
- Private Telecommunications Infrastructure: Facilitates seamless voice communications for private or corporate users, maintaining call continuity as users roam within the private network boundaries.
- System Integration: Manufacturers and integrators use this protocol to ensure their PISN connected devices and wireless terminals can handle calls according to standardized methods, supporting interoperability in multi-vendor environments.
- Service Provisioning: Telecom service providers operating or managing private networks use the specified protocol to deliver value-added mobility features to clients.
- Future Scalability: The standard supports future expansion of network features as PISN evolves, allowing upgrades and extensions without compromising existing service quality or interoperability.
