Abstract

The information superhighway (ISH) has created a number of new opportunities and services. In order to allow the development of the new network system, some technological requirements and solutions will be necessary. Promotes the awareness and understanding of integrating new technologies for corporate and industrial ISH processes. Includes the implementation on a wide scale of fibre‐optic wires and asynchronous transfer mode technologies and the compatibility problems between different platforms and communication devices. Agreements on standards and common rules throughout different manufacturers and different nations will be essential in order to achieve the foreseen integration and compatibility of the system.
