Private ISDN-Based Network (PISN)

A private network based on the ISDN standard is referred to as a PISN (Private Inte-
grated Services Network). Its characteristic feature is that all connected subscrib-
ers can communicate with one another in the same way as PBX-internal subscrib-
ers. This applies to both voice traffic and to ISDN-based data traffic. A PISN is the
keystone of any corporate communication structure optimized in terms of flexibil-
ity, user convenience and cost.
A network is generally defined by its nodes and the connections between those
nodes. In a PISN they are formed by ISDN PBXs. A PISN consists of at least two
nodes and can be structured both as a meshed network and as a star-shaped net-
work. Hybrid forms are also admissible.
Usually a PISN is connected to the public network in at least 1 place.
