An introduction to NGNs
An NGN (Next Generation Network) is a universal multi-service network designed for the transmission of voice, images and data on a packetswitching basis. An NGN provides the quality of service necessary for different types of telecommunication traffic. Characteristically, the transmission and the routing of the packets and the elements of the transmission equipment (links, routers, switches, gateways) are physically and logically separated from the devices and the intelligence controlling the execution of calls and services. The network intelligence supports all types of services in the packet network, from basic voice telephony to data, image, multi-media, broadband and management applications. These features represent the basis for drawing a distinction between an NGN and an ordinary telephone and IP network, which otherwise prevail in telecommunications. An NGN, the result of merging the internet with the telephone network, combines the best features of both. It provides: Adaptability for transmitting any type of traffic, which can be compared to the internet's adaptability as opposed to the inefficiency of a PSTN in transmitting data (this fact is especially important with regard to the estimation that data will soon represent 90% of telecommunication traffic). Guaranteed quality of voice telephony services and critical data applications; in this case an NGN offers PSTN reliability as opposed to the best effort of the internet's capacity. Low transmission costs per content unit - the price is closer to the internet than to a PSTN, the total amount of data and voice traffic trebles every year. NGN Architecture Transmission, linking, routing and services in legacy networks are integrated vertically: different networks are designed for different services (telephony, video, data). In contrast to legacy networks, next generation networks (NGNs) are characterized by an open architecture and the horizontal connection of different layers: The common NGN infrastructure is implemented with the transport layer, which is based on packet technology and used by different services. Information transfer between the source and the destination is transferred in an identical way, irrespective of whether it is a telephone call, an internet session, a video connection, a game with several players, or a movie. The application service layer is logically and physically separated from the transport layer, which enables the independent development of particular network segments. Different servers, which are separated from the transport, control different services - these include voice telephony, e-commerce, video-on-demand, etc. Adding a new service requires only a new server, which, via the transport layer, is accessible to all users connected to the network. Users connect to an NGN over interfaces that have different bandwidths and are implemented with different technologies. Despite broadband interfaces (>0.5 Mb/s) being the most suitable for connecting with an NGN, users have universal access to services irrespective of the type of equipment used.

Minor Expenses - New Services One of the principal advantages offered by SI2000 NG is the concentration on cost supervision during the introduction of new services or the transition to an NGN. This is the result of the unique and advanced architecture of all the products in the SI2000 NG family, which are designed on an open, standardized platform as the result of a clear and uniform product strategy.

Legacy network (PSTN) offers: Many well-established services Saturation with services (with time) Legacy infrastructure Proven and reliable interfaces NGN present status: Not yet established services A multitude of new services New equipment and new investments The problem of equipment interoperability The problem of integration with PSTN equipment At this point with SI2000 NG you can already offer new services that are characteristic of NGN, while keeping all the established PSTN services. This also applies to the call server itself. This means that the carrier alone decides on the time when it will start offering new services. The decision depends on the level of interest shown by the users and, above all, on quality, safety and the profitability level of the services. To put it simply, the decision on the switchover to the pure softswitch (call server) is left to the carrier with Iskratel SI2000 NG providing for a controlled and safe transition.

Components
The basic components from the rich range of products and services designed by Iskratel are appropriately divided on the basis of the well-known and accepted NG network structure. We are especially proud of the new architecture that is based on an open, standardized platform ensuring minor investment costs and also minor operating expenses. Particular products from the NGN range are carefully chosen and modularly designed to provide, like a jigsaw puzzle, an easy, fast and efficient configuring and building of networks, all with the purpose of fulfilling user demands at a high-quality level. Our work is based on over 50 years of our own development and experience in the field of telecommunications. The high quality of our work is being constantly proven by the successes achieved by our customers. A very important fact is that individual components represent a part of a whole, and can be applied individually or in combination with other components. Depending on a specific need, requirement or problem, individual components are chosen, properly configured and interconnected by a common SI2000 management system. Applications/Services Control Access CPE
Management
CPE - Customer Premises Equipment TA102 and TA104 TA102/104 is a dual/four-channel Voice-over-IP terminal adapter that provides a connection for two/four conventional analog phones to an H.323 v2-compliant VoIP network. It is designed to provide service (all the well-known PSTN supplementary services, including analog Caller-Id) that is virtually indistinguishable from that of conventional telephone and facsimile services. In addition to the primary Ethernet connection to a local network an additional Ethernet port provides a connection to a personal computer without any external network equipment. Flexible TOS bit assignment and layer 2 (IEEE 802.1 p/Q) CoS settings allow the service provider to maintain the Quality of Service across the whole IP network, while satisfying user requirements for uninterrupted PSTN voice quality. All the maintenance jobs are executed from a remote location by the service provider, who is able to set each terminal adapter individually or in groups. In the same way, software releases can also be uploaded remotely by the SP.
TA1024/TA1048 The TA1024/TA1048 Customer Premises Gateway provides exactly the same functionality as its smaller brothers TA102 and TA104, the only difference is in capacity. It can be used for connecting up to 24/48 analog phones or G3 faxes to the VoIP network. By simply connecting the device on one side to a local network with Ethernet and adding as many analog subscribers as needed on the other side you can prepare the device for operation. TA1024 and TA1048 represent an ideal and cost-optimized platform for migration from obsolete analog switches to an NGN, and protecting business or residential customers' investments in terminals and wiring infrastructure. IP Telephone CT310i CT310i is a voice-over-IP phone. It is designed to work in close connection with the SI2000 family VoIP Gateways, providing the user with the same supplementary services set as an ISDN. Furthermore, it is fully version conformant with 2 H.323, thus making it suitable for placing voice calls over a standard packet-switching network Dynamical (DHCP) assignment of IP addresses, an additional Ethernet port, flexible TOS bit assignment and layer 2 (IEEE 802.1 p/Q and VLAN Id) CoS mechanisms are the "must-have" features of a modern IP Phone. CT310i has a very rich, comfortable (ISDN-like), set of built-in features allowing the user real freedom and ease of use with the choice of a variety of phone directories (including LDAP-based central directories), call lists, speed buttons and user-defined melodies for all stored numbers. The most important feature is strong support of secretary supplementary services e.g. boss/secretary, team groups, fast call pick-ups, transfers, etc.

Access The Media Gateway - MGW The Media Gateway is used as an universal bridging component between the legacy TDM (circuit-switched) network and the packet-switching network. It is a key element for the transition or access to an NGN, and at this moment it represents the central evolutionary SI2000 NG component for building solutions in NGN. It connects subscribers from the PSTN over E1 links and connects them via single or dual (redundant) IP/Ethernet link to the packet network. Media Gateways have universal port functionality, thus any port can be used either for voice (VoIP) or data (modem) traffic. Starting with the lowest 120 and 240 channels respectively, it can be upgraded to a few thousand channels. Media Gateway is either available in a smaller, cost effective and compact 1U chassis for enterprise and low-end CLEC configurations, or it can be offered in a more capable and robust Carrier Grade chassis to provide high availability and service availability configurations for demanding and high-end ILEC and other large operators. Basically there are two different Iskratel Media Gateways available. A standalone version with an integrated basic call control functionality and the "ordinary" version with an integrated signaling gateway functionality to convert SS7 and DSS1 into SCTP/M3UA and SCTP/IUA. The Access Gateway - AGW The Access GW is an IP enabled access node of the new SI2000 NG generation designed for applications in public and private next generation networks. The Access Gateway provides access to packet network for POTS and ISDN (BRI, PRI) subscribers. It is based on the wellknown SI2000 V5 MLC platform to guarantee a transparent migration of the existing MLC based products to new IP enabled NGN solutions and V6. The Access Gateway acts in the network as a voice gateway from 120 up to 640 channel capacity, available in different housings. It can be used independently as an H.323 gateway or in connection with a media gateway controller (with MGCP and IUA/SCTP protocols). It can be controlled by an SI2000NG call server or any other controller in the IP network that controls network devices by means of these protocols. The existing access-module version offers the option of easy broadband access (ADSL, SDSL) integration to Access Gateway. Users can choose between two modes of connection to the network, ATM and IP depending on the implementation. The AGW is designed for all markets. Market-specific data are modified by appropriate administrative procedures available to the carrier on the common SI2000 management node. The VoIP Gateway - VGW The Voice-over-IP Gateway is an access node of the new SI2000 NG generation, designed for use in public and private next generation networks. Its primary role is to connect VoIP equipment that resides on the LAN (e.g. VoIP phones, VoIP terminal adapters, PC Phones, etc.) to existing PSTN environment. It is based on the well-known legacy SI2000 access node, with an extra attached module for connection to a local data network (LAN). Already today the VGW enables users to connect their existing NGN voice terminals to PSTN as an early example of transition from TDM to NGN. The VoIP Gateway is available in the standard SI2000 compact 1U chassis that can be mounted in all standard racks. Its unique advantage is easy integration into the legacy access equipment, especially because of its standard V5.2 signalling. The current version features up to 30 voice channels. Like the entire SI2000 family, the VoIP Gateway is managed by means of the standard and common SI2000 management node.

Components
Control The Call Server - CS A call server also refered to as a softswitch or a media gateway controller provides call control according to a call model, handles signalling and controls media and access gateways respectively. It can be found on the control layer of the network using standard protocols or open APIs to interface application servers in order to enable service and policy control like personalized QoS policies, AAA policies, etc. Generally Call Server supports standard protocols to the Media Gateway level and to the Application Server level respectively and takes care of terminal registrations, including authentication and authorisation. The Call Server thus interfaces to application servers (MGCP, MeGaCo, CSTA, LDAP and SIP), to media gateways (MGCP, MeGaCo/H.248), to other call servers (SIP-T, H.323, BICC) and also to signaling gateways (SigTran, SCTP, M3UA and IUA). In the SI2000 NG network, CS controls the basic MGW - Media Gateway and AGW - Access Gateway. The signaling gateway function can be found as an integrated part of Iskratel MGW component. Applications/Services The Media Server - MS The Media Server provides functions that enable interactions between callers (voice) and applications through telephony devices, e.g. it can answer a call, play prompts, invoke menus and finally redirect a call. It is also possible to read an e-mail by using speech synthesis, provide inputs to applications from DTMF or voice commands by using a simple voice-recognition or a complete IVR (Interactive Voice Response ) technology. The media server is usually connected to a content server, which stores voice files and scenarios for services written in a standard VoiceXML. In addition external ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text To Speech ) features can be applied. . The Media Server provides media resource functions (tone detection, DTMF recognition, speech-synthesis, speech-recognition engines, text-to-speech engines, etc.), media control functions that provide applications with control over media resources (e.g. play prompt, record message, etc.) and call-processing functions (start a new call, transfer a call, etc.). The Media Server can be set up in two basic modes of operation, either as a stand-alone server (voice portal for NGN) without a call server or as a Media Server controlled by a call server. The Video Server - VS The video server is a network-attached server for video that is connected to a universal packet IP/Ethernet network. It can deliver live video, either automatically or on request, to a browser or any other professional applications. Live video broadcast and security systems have traditionally been based on analog CATV technology, but now they are also available for solutions in the packet network. Video servers digitize analog video sources and distribute digital video over an IP network turning analog cameras into network cameras. The major advantage of a video server is higher flexibility and lower costs. In addition, it offers remote access to real-time video and live video distribution anywhere by means of an IP network connection. Video server technology offers remote access of images utilizing the IP network, transparent integration with other systems and applications, lower total cost of ownership by leveraging the existing network infrastructure and legacy equipment and quick and easy search and post-production capabilities of digitally-stored images. Management The Element Manager The SI2000 V6 MN (Management Node) is a common, centralized, uniform management platform for Iskratel SI2000 NG components, covering the following management areas: accounting, configuration, fault management, performance, security and system management. The alarm surveillance application is based on the standard SNMP protocol and provides views in the tree form (default) and user-defined views of nodes, a list of their detailed alarms, automatic polling and traps receiving, together with a set of reports sent to various output devices. With an optional "Northbound" X.733-compliant interface it allows connectivity to higher-level fault-management applications. The MN platform varies from a single, portable PC (MT Management Terminal) locally connected to a single network element, up to a remotely connected multiprocessor, fault-tolerant server configuration with several clients, capable of managing several modules, which are accessible via an IP connection.

Iskratel's strategy involves offering complete solutions, which means the SI2000 NG product range also comprises the equipment for end users: not only the IP telephone but also the terminal adapters, which provide for the connection of legacy analog phones to a local area network (LAN) and using the advantages of VoIP technology. For users wishing to utilize the devices as soon as possible, or those who are already using devices based on VoIP technology (for example, IP phones), Iskratel already offers the possibility of exploiting all the advantages of VoIP terminals in the legacy PSTN network. We are talking about a VGW that offers the users of IP phones a completely seamless integration into the classic telephone (PSTN) environment. By simply including an add-on unit in the legacy access node, the central processing unit can be upgraded with IP-gateway functionality. The gateway is connected to the master node over the standard V5.2 interface. In this way the IP telephone subscribers are considered by the master node as ISDN subscribers. This means that the VoIP gateway can be connected to an exchange manufactured by a third party that supports the V5.2 ETSI interface. The IP telephones being considered by the master exchange as ISDN phones have almost all the supplementary services provided for ISDN subscribers. These supplementary services should, however, also be supported in an appropriate manner by the telephone sets used. Iskratel's CT310i IP phone has been designed for a perfect match with SI2000 systems. In addition to classic supplementary services (forwarding, diversion, identification presentation, etc.) it also features secretary services (forwarding and pickup of calls by fast keys, line supervision, etc.) and Centrex services. In this way the Centrex network seamlessly crosses the border between telephony and data (computer) worlds, and users are offered a highquality service, while the change of technology underneath the service remains invisible. Furthermore, due to a more universal data technology, new services known from the internet, mobile telephony and CTI applications become available. The user can access the central telephone directory or set up calls directly through a favourite e-mail-reading program.

In developing networks the difference between traffic types, which is still present and evident today, will soon disappear. Users do not wish to worry about the differences between technologies and traffic types, between voice, data and video. On the other hand, they are very demanding and wish to have a certain service at a certain time, they demand ease of use and a known (as low as possible) price. Because voice is the most basic and the most widely used means of communication, its role and significance in the packet network is undiminished, it simply changes and offers additional communication possibilities. Web sites offer lots of interesting and useful information, and there is nothing to prevent them from being accessible over voice, too. We moved one of the key advantages of the internet, the limitless creativity when designing new services, into the world of voice-enabled services. But unlike the internet, all the end users have very similar equipment and the same quality of services. The media server is a device designed for the execution of voice-enabled services. It is based on Iskratel's platform for NGN elements, which has also been used for the media gateway. It can be connected to the IP (H.323) as well as to the TDM network (SS7, DSS1). Scenarios and voice records can be stored on a remote content server and also locally. The VoiceXML standard enables downloading from any content server. The media server can be used as an autonomous NGN element or integrated into more complex solutions, like the contact center, information services, enterprise solutions, etc. At times when investors in networks and services once again appreciate conservative values, the media server represents the means of gaining some advantages over your competitors in return for a very moderate investment. As with the whole solution, the capacity increases in a simple manner, gradually and without any risks. Particular modules, like ASR or TTS, which are technologically (and also from the investment point of view) more demanding, can be added when and if they become necessary.

The SI2000 SMN (Service Management Node) is the platform for gradual implementation of service management in SI2000 networks (TDM, BB, NGN). It provides a self-management application for configuring a set of supplementary services. With its web interface the control of associated parameters is user friendly and the parameters are easily examined and changed, thus improving the standard controlling mechanisms of an analog and/or ISDN phone. The SI2000 CMN (Centrex Management Node) provides the functionality of Centrex Management for Centrex users in generally geographically separated SI2000 networks. The functionality of both SI2000 SMN and SI2000 CMN is based on data exchange with the integrated SI2000 MNs. They provide "Northbound" management interfaces for end-to-end service management applications and interoperability with NGN operation and business-support systems. The SI2000 CDCN (Charging Data Collection Node) performs the charging data collection from the associated SI2000 MN and mediation, either periodically or almost in real-time, either for the billing center or for the Centrex administrators. The coexistence of SI2000 NSAN with SI2000 SMN and SI2000 CMN as well as the billing application represent an integrated environment for the management of all aspects of SI2000 network operation and its use in providing services to end
