Abstract
A system and method for the conversion of messages from one medium to another in an Intelligent Network (IN) telecommunications system comprising several Intelligent Peripherals (IPs) connected to a Service Control Point (SCP) over a network. The various IPs are also linked to each other over a distinct telecommunications backbone. The SCP orders a conversion IP to retrieve the received message over the telecommunications backbone and convert it to a specified medium, which may optionally be specified by the recipient. When the conversion process is complete, the SCP orders a delivery IP to retrieve and deliver the converted message to the intended recipient.
