X.25

The first international standard packet switching network developed in the early 1970s and published in 1976 by the CCITT (now ITU). X.25 was designed, primarily by LM Ericsson, to be a worldwide public data network similar to the global telephone system for voice, but a lack of interest in the U.S., and Internet Protocol (IP) standards ended its short reign, primarily with Mobitex, which used it for low speed applications (up to 56 Kbps) such as credit card verifications and automatic teller machine (ATM) and other financial transactions. It was also used for signaling networks in first-generation cellular systems.
