We report on a fast β-relaxation process in a network-glass forming system that is up to the melt a fast-ion conductor. The process is evidenced by means of quasielastic neutron scattering [1]. The data are analysed in the framework of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the liquid to glass transition [2]. It is shown that this fast β-relaxation process, that can consistently be described within the framework of this theory, prepares the α-relaxation of the fast diffusing Na ions. We discuss the q- and T-dependence of the relevant parameters of the β-scaling law of the MCT and its dependence on Na concentration.
