TIHPON - Goals

Main objective
Combine telecommunications and Internet technologies to enable voice communications over IP-based networks to work with existing PSTN/ISDN/GSM networks

Philosophy
to create a competitive environment which allows to produce specifications with a global acceptance

David Gurle

TIPHON - Scope

Initial focus on voice communications 3 phases:

Phase 1 (until end of 1997): Voice communication from an IPbased terminal to PSTN/ISDN/GSM handset Phase 2 (until June 1998) : Voice communication from PSTN/ISDN/GSM hand set to IP-based terminals Phase 3 (until December 1998): Voice communications from PSTN/ISDN/GSM handsets to PSTN/ISDN/GSM handsets using an intermediary IP-based network
