Solution fit for different Operators MNO (e. g. Cingular, Sprint) Improve the mobile coverage with low cost Wi. Fi- Residential / Enterprise / Public hotspot Partner with Cable/Fixed Op to offer total package- Triple or Quadra-play NGN Operator (e. g. Vonage) Enhance their current offerings with mobile capability Partner with MNO as whole sell (MVNO) or roaming Integrated Service Provider (e. g. Brazil Telecom) In-house Mobile and Fixed line operation FMC allows them to use fixed line infrastructure to offer mobile service The combined infrastructure provides lower OPEX ratio comparing with pure MNO Cable Operators (e. g. GCI, Comcast) Partner with MNO to offer FMC Natural extension from Triple-play to Quadra-play – Voice, Data, TV/Video, Mobile FMC-Enabler (e. g. Veri.

PSTN to NGN Migration Case Study Background A leading tier 1 carrier in Philippine Owning 2 m fixed & 22 m GSM mobile customers as of Q 2 2006 A public company listed in NYSE Total market cap of US$7. 8 B as of Sept 2006 Total revenue US$2. 5 B in last 4 quarters EBITDA US$1. 6 B in last 4 quarters Operating margin 37% A fast growing service provider in Asia Provides fixed line, GSM mobile and broadband data service to both residential and enterprise customers Problem Statement How to sustain and grow the fixed line service? Lots of population without telephone service Lots of business users demand more service How to increase the ARPU leveraging NGN/IMS? IPTV? FMC? Triple-play? Quadrupled-Play? How to lower the OPEX? Real estate expense in the big metropolitan area? Power consumption? Human resource required for operation? How to manage EOL/EOS of the aged TDM switches? The cost of maintaining is unbalance with the cost of buying new Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 10
UTStarcom Solution PSTN Emulation Subsystem – PES Provide services to green-field customers Replace the existing TDM switch – total 7 models in place m. Switch as the core Soft. Switch + Gateways + Backend office applications i. AN 8000 as the access Combination of DSL, DLC and Vo. IP AG Foundation for FMC and IPTV in the future Phase 1: Started with 150 K NGN lines capacity Network installation and migration planning for 3 months First TDM switch replacement/migration in March 2006 Adding customer via both old switch migration and green field expansion Service extension to Centrex Targeting under served enterprise customers Phase 2: Network expansion to total of 500 K NGN lines Contract signed in later 2006 Network fully deployed Phase 3: Planning for total of 1. 5 M NGN lines in 2008 Total 5 m NGN lines planned in next 3 – 5 years 150+ CO sites replaced by 3 NGN SS sites Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 11
Migration Benefits CAPEX Savings Central Office (CO) consolidation Simpler network with fewer types and pieces of equipment OPEX Cost Savings- 80% Operation and Maintenance cost reduction Reduced power consumption- 94% (Reduced air-conditioning requirements) Faster provisioning of services Floor Space Savings- 92% Reduced space requirements Consolidation of cabinet areas Improvement in “time-to-market” for new services- 90% Faster introduction of new services Increase in Revenues EOL management End of support to critical TDM components- High cost of vendor support Stop manufacturing of components Salvage components to support in-house repair of modules when they run out of spares.
