The Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks (TISPAN) is a standardization body of ETSI, specialized in fixed networks and Internet convergence.

TISPAN’s release 1 architecture is based upon the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Release 6 and 3GPP2 Revision A architectures. However, TISPAN has adopted a more generalised model able to address a wider variety of network and service requirements. This overall architecture is based upon the concept of cooperating subsystems sharing common components. This subsystem-oriented architecture enables the addition of new subsystems over the time to cover new demands and service classes. It also ensures that the network resources, applications, and user equipment (mostly inherited from IMS where possible) are common to all subsystems and therefore ensure user, terminal and service mobility to the fullest extent possible, including across administrative boundaries.
