ATIS I-0000045

The objective of the focus group is to define a strategy for developing an IP services interconnect specification suitable for all service provider types (wireless, wireline, and cable), encompassing basic, advanced, and future services. The scope includes forward-looking services such as HD Voice, Video, Messaging, and Data. Requirements are identified for a set of interconnection profiles built on existing standards to enable these services and to deliver a consistent user experience across all types of networks (e.g., Wireless, Fixed, and Cable). This analysis is complementary to a joint effort with the SIP Forum (the ATIS/SIP Forum IP-NNI Task Force) to develop a fully specified IP-NNI for voice services.
