Such generic telecommunications system provides for, among other things, a call processing application that can be used with telecommunications systems that incorporate varying different technologies and standards. Such call processing applications may, for example, include a home location register, visitor location register and mobile switching center elements. In addition, the call processing application may include an application provider and/or a radio controller elements. Those elements are preferably implemented as software entities including one or more software objects. As software entities of the same application, those elements may readily communicate with, and invoke operations associated with, one another. Further, as disclosed herein, software entities of the call processing application may also readily communicate with, and invoke operations associated with, software entities of other applications. In addition, agents associated with the switchign center, may faciliate the call processing of calls originating and terminating in accordance with varying access technologies.
