What is NGN is a concept for defining & deploying networks, which due to their formal separation into different layers & planes and use of open interfaces, offers service providers a platform which can evolve in a step -by-step manner to create, deploy & manage innovative services. NG Architecture : Service oriented, layered (transport, control, application) NG Services : Converged (quad play- voice, data, video & mobility) NG Access : High speed (Broadband) IP based connectivity (ADSL, VDSL, Wi. Max, Cable TV, FTTH) NG Transport : Ethernet, IP-MPLS, RPR, T-MPLS NG Mobile : 3 G+, 4 G NG Internet : IPv 6 NG Interconnect : Capacity and Quality based NG Licensing : Unified, Converged Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 6
NGN Market Drivers TDM switches facing EOL or reaching capacity saturation Explosive growth in Internet traffic Intense competition Telco vs. Cable vs. Satellite vs. Wireless vs. NGN Need for Improved Business Model OPEX savings and top-line revenue growth Need for Service Differentiation Ease in offering new services (Vo. IP, IPTV, FMC) Time-to-market and ability to provision services quicker Integration of network resulting in huge network cost savings Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 7

FMC-Business Drivers Many households today have at least one cell phone. In these households estimated 60% of long distance calls and 36% of local calls take place on mobile phone at home (Yankee Group) 14% of users use cell phones as their primary line (Yankee Group) Additional 26% of users are ready to switch as in-building coverage improves Over 50% of users place mobile calls when they are at home or office (Wireless Review) Wi. Fi exists or can be supported in both places Traffic on mobile network has been increasing causing Qo. S problem and hence subscribers’ churn Pressure to reduce tariff for voice services “Fixed” broadband availability is growing at a rapid pace - double digits in CALL most cases FAILED Vo. BB provides new revenue stream for Service Provider, and also give a low cost alternative to carry mobile voice traffic Leverage low fixed line asset cost to support the mobile voice application PLEASE TRY AGAIN! Users need to access services seamlessly regardless of their location, active device or the network access method Lower CAPEX, Lower OPEX, Higher coverage and quality Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 13
Driving Forces Consumers like mobile phones And all of them are not using just for mobility In >50% cases used for portability, not mobility. Consumes demands low cost for voice Broadband is getting widely deployed Voice over broadband is not only new revenue stream for SP, but also the low cost alternative to carry mobile voice traffic Leverage low fixed line asset cost to provide the mobile voice application Lower CAPEX, Lower OPEX, Higher coverage and quality => Fix Mobility Convergence Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 -10 April 2009 14
With FMC, users can access the best available service whether they have mobile coverage (e. g. GSM, CDMA), Wi-Fi/fixed-line coverage (e. g. Wi-Fi SIP over broadband) or a combination of both.
