The network will improve the speed of circuit provision, the network availability and quality and reliability of service.

To this end, six topics have been identified: - "Interactive digital multimedia services" the aim of the research being to develop systems and services combining sound, images and digital data; - "Photonic technologies" in order to deploy fully optical networks by the year 2000; - "High-speed networking" in order to develop services such as videophones, teleworking and social care, thanks to efficient integrated networks; - "Mobility and personal communications networks" the aim of which is to offer the public a new generation of flexible and reliable cordless transmission systems; - "Intelligence in networks and service engineering" ...[+++] the aim being to provide intelligent communication systems and enable users themselves to determine the type of services offered; - "Quality, security and safety of communication services and systems" in order to ensure the reliability and security of information transmitted (electronic signatures).

The sixth and last research theme (quality, security and safety of communications services and systems) will cover the reliability and security of information transmitted and the possibilities offered by the concept of "electronic signatures".
