The Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks (TISPAN) is a standardization body of ETSI, specializing in fixed networks and Internet convergence. It was formed in 2003 from the amalgamation of the ETSI bodies Telecommunications and Internet Protocol Harmonization Over Networks (TIPHON) and Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks (SPAN) Standardization, in the context related to technologies and industries, is the process of establishing a technical standard among competing entities in a market, where this will bring benefits without hurting competition. ... The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is a standardization organization of the telecommunications industry (equipment makers and network operators) in Europe, with worldwide projection. ...
TISPAN’s release 1 architecture is based upon the 3GPPIP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Release 6 and 3GPP2 Revision A architectures. However, TISPAN has adopted a more generalised model able to address a wider variety of network and service requirements. This overall architecture is based upon the concept of cooperating subsystems sharing common components. This subsystem-oriented architecture enables the addition of new subsystems over the time to cover new demands and service classes. It also ensures that the network resources, applications, and user equipment (mostly inherited from IMS where possible) are common to all subsystems and therefore ensure user, terminal and service mobility to the fullest extent possible, including across administrative boundaries. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration agreement that was established in December 1998. ... The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a standardised Next Generation Networking (NGN) architecture for telecom operators that want to provide mobile and fixed multimedia services. ...
