Workshop on Next Generation Networks: What, When and How? The 21st Century Network Standards Requirements Keith Dickerson Head of Standards – BT Group

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" Agenda Why a 21st Century Network? What does a 21st Century Network look like? What new Standards are required? What should ITU do?

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" Why a 21 st Century Network? Make it easier to create new services –Faster –More people can create Make it easier to buy and use services –Enable customers Make it simpler to deliver and maintain service –Process automation 30-40% cost reduction

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" What does it mean? New services –Open APIs and applications platforms –Mobile enabled –Re-usable components/capabilities –Build on broadband Cost reduction –Not enough to do efficiencies and automation –Radical network convergence to fewer networks and systems carrying more services –Converge in from the edge

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" 21 st Century Services Vision “A world where all our customers feel empowered and are treated as individuals”

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" New Services (1) Multimedia calling (SIP) Video Downloads Broadcast TV Teleworking Gaming Virus scanning Firewalls Back-up Encryption Security VoIP, video,Instant messaging, photos, movies,sharing, games 4.7Gbyte DVD can be stored on CD Could be streamed (nrt) in ~3 hours Microsoft XBox will become a STB Digital Rights Management? Wholesale Broadcast TV distribution service Only available to BB Customers Biplay service (or tri-play) Services integrated by CPE (or by SP) Remote LAN access Security / encryption Roaming Low latency downloading QOS management

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" New Services (2) Broadband –Move from selling best effort pipe to assured services charged per session/time/ –Provide one way assurance (VOD, Turbo button etc) but also two- way multimedia calling –Allow anyone to create services Business –Provide ICT service, managed desktop, storage, hosted applications… Build on IPVPN to have any access, including work at home, cellular and WLAN Future voice –Derived/replacement where needed –Multi-media in both consumer and business Mobility –Support mobile terminals –Build on IM/mobile presentation to provide roaming over any access –Personal and terminal mobility

Workshop on "Next Generation Networks: What, When and How?" Cost Reduction Efficiencies and automation not enough –need to enable customers and partners in the service management processes Have to include future of PSTN (voice) Radical steps required –need closure of legacy networks and systems More important to converge in access and backhaul than in core –because opex and capex centred there
