The rapidly changing marketplace of the telecommunications industry is forcing people to rethink the technologies required to support a future customer base. There is a plethora of architectures and technologies that provide solutions to certain problems. However, the unification of these into an architecture for the industry has eluded standards bodies and individual companies. The Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture Consortium (TINA-C) is defining an architecture that will provide such a unification. The architecture being defined by TINA-C will allow for the construction, operation and management of many types of services, ranging from simple telephony services to sophisticated multimedia applications. TINA-C also defines an environment in which services can reside, including network platforms, and defines how such an environment can be managed. The provision and delivery of services, combined with the ability to manage these and the underlying resources in a unified framework, will allow for the industry to evolve to meet future customer demand.
