ENGINE—Ericsson’s next-generation network solution—allows existing circuit-switched networks to evolve smoothly and rapidly into packet-based multi-service networks. The ENGINE name comprises a complete family of system products as well as various configurations of network solutions that are adapted to meet the needs of different types of operator. The authors describe the ATM-based ENGINE solutions, putting special emphasis on the server-based solutions. The authors also describe the migration path toward an IP-based solution.
