Imagine the application of a network to the home. A central computer could control telephone ringing, temperature, lighting on a room- by-room basis, and the operation of home appliances.This computer, in turn, could be controlled remotely by the user via the network. 3. Take some examples about what services ISDN can provide.TEXT Provide simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network. The main idea of this unit: This unit mainly discusses the concept of ISDN. An ISDN is merely an enhancement to the telephone local loop that will allow both voice and data to be carried over the same twisted pair. An ISDN is a network, where all devices and applications present themselves in a digital form. That is, information from the telephone, personal computer, stereo, television, and ISDN pot is all seen as bit streams by the network equipment.
