Business Rationale for Network Migration

DAI developed several models to assess the economic benefits of NGN deployment Although there is no one-fit-all approach the following results can be realistically achieved: Up to 40% Reduction in OPEX and CAPEX (results vary and are influenced by traffic trend and network evolution, ownership of the transmission networks, etc..) OPEX savings: Lower Site, Maintenance & Operational expenses CAPEX savings: Avoided TDM upgrades 20% Savings from Eliminating Tandem Exchanges 50% to 70% fewer trunks 40% Reduction in Energy Consumption Up to 80% Reduction in Space Requirements Up to 70% Reduction in transmission bandwidth in backbone network

Issue ---- Protect existing resource Whole network migration cost is high, how to protect existing resource? Issue ---- IP network development IP network need to cover access layer, it still need time

Issue ---- O&M Experience IP address assignment, numbering scheme, need time to accumulate the experience. Issue --- Service Promotion New service and business model need time to explore

Summary
Migration from a TDM-based public switched telephone network (PSTN) to a packet-based next generation network (NGN) is inevitable! Major Reasons to evolve
Ability to introduce new services, multimedia applications DSL access penetration Lower cost of ownership: unified network instead of separate networks

IP is becoming the universal protocol used to provide most new services Economic Analysis of PSTN Migration to NGN indicates a PayBack of 2-3 years after the deployment is complete and an impressive reduction of OPEX Successful NGN implementations exist to date

Summary
No One-step solution
Migration from a fully TDM -based PSTN to a packetbased next generation network (NGN) cannot be achieved in one step!

No One-fit-all Approach
For NGN migration and operation, although the objective network is similar, there is no one-fit-all approach, the operator has to decide the mode according to its own requirement for development and competition.

ILEC & CLEC

ILEC goes to NGN to optimize network, increase service revenue and reduce cost; CLEC takes NGN as a cost effective and future oriented solution to compete with ILEC.

Active Participations
On July, 2003, China Telecom and Huawei Technologies together submit A Carrier-class QoS Solution Framework for IP -based Backbone Network and Access Network on the fourth seminar of ITU-T SG13 2001-2004. The two documents defined the framework, architecture and requirements of carrier-class QoS technology in IP -based backbone and access network. The two QoS proposals solve the difficulty in implementing QoS of service streams, and keeping compatibility with the present network, ensuring the application of supplementary service on IP network. They are added in recommendation Y.qosar and Y.123.qos. The committee assigns Huawei as the editor of Y.123.qos, and decides that the two document will serve as the basis for researching on End-to-End QoS in NGN.
