Next Generation Network

NGN Definition (ITU)

Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network able to provide services including Telecommunication Services Able to make use of multiple broadband, QoSenabled transport technologies Service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies Offers unrestricted access by users to different service providers It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.

NGN Comparative now and NGN

NGN - Eventually

NGN Key features

Separation of control functions among bearer capabilities, call/session, and application/ service Decoupling of service provision from network, and provision of open interfaces Support for a wide range of services, applications and mechanisms based on service building blocks (including real time/ streaming/ non-real time services and multi-media, Triple-play) Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS and transparency Inter working with legacy networks via open interfaces Generalized mobility support

NGN - Key Features

Unrestricted access by users to different service providers A variety of identification schemes which can be resolved to IP addresses for the purposes of routing in IP networks Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user Converged services between Fixed/Mobile Independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies Compliant with all Regulatory requirements, for example concerning access to emergency communications and security monitoring/privacy, etc.

NGN - Advantages
NGN makes use of best of both worlds
flexibility, efficiency & Innovativeness of IP and QOS,Security Reliability,Customer-friendly features of Proven PSTN

NGN Advantages for service providers

Reduced CAPEX due to integrated and efficient IPbased technology Reduced OPEX due to transmission cost saving, less power consumption, less space requirement, less O&M costs Increase revenue thru increased range of services Increasing market penetration by service customization and unified services Single network layer for management There is no need for separate voice and data networks

NGN Advantages for subscribers

Reduced call charges IP based where time and distance is blurring out New innovative services open interface provide faster and cheaper deployment Single connection and bill for voice, data, video (triple play)

NGN Whats wrong with PSTN TDM

Nothing is wrong with it, but
Long term, industry direction is NGN not TDM

There are immediate opportunities

Cost savings New business / revenue generating opportunities

If do nothing, others will deploy next gen technologies

Drive down prices Increase customers expectations

Support for a wide range of services and information flows. Point-to-point, multipoint, broadcast and multicast. Voice, data, video and multi-media applications in a telecommunication network Service beyond voice

NGN is application driven, NOT technology driven.

TM Perspective- Why NGN?

Forecast by KTAK from the MyICMS886
8 Infrastructure 8 Services 6 Growth Areas

Increase of Broadband users

1.3 mil broadband users Using huge services such as VoIP, P2P, FTP and etc. To facilitate on the Digital Home requirement
Triple-Play and Four-Play

TM Perspective- Why NGN?

Better opportunity to gain business
The revenue of Fixed line drop since 2001 from 75% to 41% Cost saving Convergence of the service in to Internet based services & technologies to reduce the cost

Other Experiences of NGN - general Idea

NGN evolution may differ between developed and developing countries because of access and affordability NGN development is expected to flourish in countries with robust broadband policies or extensive broadband penetration Countries such as India, Pakistan and Malaysia have adopted facilitative broadband policies, making these markets ideal candidates for NGN migration.

Other Experiences of NGN - general Idea (cont.)

Although we got some standard definitions that have been pointed out previously , every country has different claims and definitions for NGN. In the Republic of Korea, Korea Telecom uses the name BcN (Broadband convergence Network), and plans to have an entirely IPbased network by 2012. Telekom Austria aims to do the same by 2009.

Other Experiences of NGN - general Idea (cont.)

In Canada, Telus and Bell Canada have also announced plans to implement NGN, as well as Sprint and Qwest of the United States, and Italys Telecom Italia. Japanese carrier, NTT, is building an NGN and developing ubiquitous broadband services.

NGN Level in Developing Countries

Most African countries have yet to launch high speed Internet services, although a few, such as Morocco and Libya, offer broadband services of up to 20 Mbit/s. Sonatel in Senegal has rolled out a triple-play service bundle offering voice, Internet access and television programming.

NGN Level in Developing Countries (cont.)

Most mobile operators have 2G (secondgeneration) networks. Some of these are being transformed into 2.5G or GPRS (general packet radio service) networks, Most people in the developing world, mobile broadband services such as GPRS and 3G are still out of reach.

NGN Level in Developing Countries (cont.)

But developing countries also have certain advantages in the migration process to NGN. Compared to more developed markets, service providers in the developing world generally have fewer legacy products in their core networks (for example, ISDN, IP, ATM, FR, and SHDS). This makes it easier for them to leapfrog to all IP-based systems. Service providers in developing countries are aware of the potential cost-saving efficiency of NGN and in Brazil, India and Viet Nam, although they are mostly concentrated in highly populated, high-income areas.

NGN - United Kingdom

In the UK, BT has named its NGN the 21st Century Network, to which it transferred the first customer lines in November 2006 in the village of Wick By the end of summer 2007, around 350 000 households in the area are expected to have joined them.

NGN - United Kingdom (cont.)

BT will then review the project before moving (to the planned national upgrade of all remaining customers across the United Kingdom some 30 million lines supported from over 5500 telephone exchanges. This new network will deliver voice, data, broadband and multimedia services, more quickly and cheaply than before. (new generation of broadband with speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s)
