C. Transport mechanism of the unified network

D. NGN architecture

E. Main NGN building blocks

A. Transition to NGN: First wave• Growth of Internet and other IP-based networks with their requirements for bandwidth and capacity has driven rapidinnovation in telecommunication access and transport networks Examples:– leveraging copper wire “last-mile” networksthrough digital subscriber line (“DSL”) technologies– re-architecturing of cable networks to support IP ‑services– advances in optical networking technologies (e.g.PON)

Convergence of Telephony World and Internet World

Transition to NGN: Second wave

• Ongoing trend towards integration & interoperability of IP-based and PSTN network services and applications• Emergence of differentiated Quality of Service IP-based services• Managed end-to-end performance needed for new applications requiring real-time traffic (e.g., video, voice)• New network management, QoS, traffic engineering, pricing & accounting models

Transition to NGN: Third wave

Evolution of current PSTN, mobile, wireless and IP-based networks to unified Next Generation Networks providing both Internet and carrier-grade telecommunications networks and services offerings with QoS

One network for everything

ITU-T definition of NGN (Feb 2004)

“A Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network

able to provide services including Telecommunications Services

and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled

transport technologies and in which service-related functions

are independent from underlying transport-related technologies.

It offers unrestricted access by users to different service

providers. It supports generalized mobility which will allow

consistent provision of services to users.”

Pure technology/standardization matter:Transport of different data services

over a unique data backbone

B. Key drivers of NGN development (Cntd.)• Short Term objective:

Create new revenue possibilities– Removal of boundaries between voice and data opens

the way to new kind of services– Can be realized relatively quickly with limited

investments

• Long Term objective: Realize cost savings – Simpler network – More efficient network– Cheaper network components– Full benefit only realized when all separate networks

have fully migrated towards to the target solution

C. Transport mechanisms of the unified network

• The unified network will use packet-based technology as the common transport mechanism– Data is the fastest growing segment due to

• Success of Internet• Growing use of E-mail• Growing data traffic between business users

– Data should be handled in the most efficient way– Packet technology is the best way to transport data– Packet technology is only technology that allows simultaneous

delivery of different information streams towards one and the same end-point on one single connection
