Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a network technology that supports the digital transfer of simultaneous voice and data traffic along with support for video and fax over the public switched telephone network. ISDN gained popularity around the world during the 1990s but has largely been supplanted by modern long-distance networking technologies.<ref>Defining Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) [https://www.lifewire.com/integrated-services-digital-network-817780 Lifewirw]</ref>

 Purpose and Role: ISDN was designed to move outdated analog telecommunication networks to digital. It allowed voice and data services to be delivered over the same lines. It also provided a single interface for hooking up a fax machine, a telephone, and a computer to the network.

 Examples: ISDN has been used for voice calls, video conferencing, and high-speed internet. For instance, radio stations used ISDN to link to remote studios. However, with the rise of more modern, faster internet technologies like DSL and fiber-optic broadband, use of ISDN has dwindled.

 Components: There are two main types of ISDN service:
-    Basic Rate Interface (BRI): This is for home and small enterprise use. It consists of two 64 Kbps 'bearer' (B) channels and one 16 Kbps 'delta' (D) channel for control information.
