Munich, Germany, November 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Belgacom, one of the former European incumbents and a key customer of European Computer Telecoms (ECT), has announced the date for the migration of its Voice Managed Services (VMS) to the new ECT INtellECT® Next-Generation Intelligent Network (NGIN).

About INtellECT® Next-Generation Intelligent Networks

The ECT INtellECT® Next-Generation Intelligent Network enables value-added services in TDM, IMS and hybrid networks. The solution utilizes standard IT protocol e.g. SOAP/ XML, http, HTML or SMTP as well as standardized telecoms protocols e.g. INAP, ISUP, CAMEL, SIP, etc. and supports all vendor-proprietary variants. All ECT applications run on this platform, independent of the underlying network architecture (TDM, IMS, hybrid).

Application development is independent of network access and is based on the VoiceXML and CCXML standards with ECTXML® enhancements.

Authoring and modification of applications by third-party providers is provided by a web-based graphical service creation environment and an icon development kit which allows third-party providers to program additional modules using a comprehensive component library (Service Enablers and Building Blocks) and incorporate them in the web-based graphical service creation environment.

Open service applications for Advanced Intelligent Networks (AIN) services (Access Screening, Carrier Routing, Number Portability etc) and for extremely complex intelligence services (Network-Based Contact Centers, Virtual PBX Service / IP-Centrex, etc.) are ready for use and can be cost effectively and quickly customized or enhanced.
