BT has recently announced plans to radically transform its UK networks over the next five years. The result will be a single multi-service IP-based network capable of providing a vastly expanded range of voice and data services with much greater speed and flexibility than is currently possible.

The new converged network will serve as the platform for the next generation of communications services, providing customers with unparalleled levels of choice and control. BT calls this initiative 21CN

Interesting. Thanks for the info

Yes, I've heard this mentioned somewhere before. We'll see what transpires!

Are we both using the same alternative signaliing method. Quote:“Over the coming weeks BT plans to begin adding call traffic from 38 digital local exchange units onto the 21CN nodes. These exchanges in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Hertfordshire serve more than 1.5million lines between them. Once complete next month, the volume of calls being handled by the trial platform will represent around 1 per cent of BT’s current PSTN trunk network call traffic - equivalent to about 10,000 simultaneous calls at the busiest time of the day.”

Not sure if the trial will include this yet. There are exchanges in the Thames Valley that have fully gone over to 21CN but information regarding signaling is still not mentioned.?
