G. NGN as converged networks: concluding remarks
A. Transition to NGN: First wave
• Growth of Internet and other IP-based networks with their
requirements for bandwidth and capacity has driven rapid
innovation in telecommunication access and transport networks
Examples:
– leveraging copper wire “last-mile” networks
through 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 IPbased 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
• Transition to Third wave:
Ubiquitous & Pervasive Networks
– anybody, anytime, anywhere
• Global Information Infrastructure (GII) – ITU, 1995
• EII ETSI Project (1995)
• ITU NGN 2004 Project
• Y.1xx ITU-T – SG 13 “NGN – Architecture, Evolution and
Convergence”

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 and ubiquitous 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
D. NGN architecture
•Evolution of network architecture
– Traditional telephony - Circuit switch based PSTN
D. NGN architecture (Cntd.)
• Evolution of network architecture (Cont.)
– Circuit Switched PSTN + Packet Switched IP network (VoIP Gateway)
SG – Signaling gateway
MGC – Media gateway controller
MG – Media gateway
