  1. Beyond IMT-2000:Next Generation Converged Networks John Visser, P.Eng. Phone: +1-613-763-7028 Fax: +1-613-765-6257 Mobile: +1-613-276-6096 Email: jvisser@nortelnetworks.com • Two versions: • “short” for presentation • “long” for off-line review

  2. Wireless Vision (I): Connectivity • The future of wireless is one in whichnetworks will interconnect people andmachines in all combinations • Wireless data networking will have an impact as profound as the Internet had on the wired world • Everyone has been looking for the ‘killer app.’ Some believe it's all about content. But the killer application is connectivity! Content is not king; connectivity is king. 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  3. Wireless Vision (II): revenue from data • It's all about low-price, broadband wireless • Growing number of internet-savvy consumers and business professionals want to be connected wherever they are, without wires • 3G wireless networks are cheaper to operate • Positions operators to reap larger revenue opportunities as data-driven services catch on with consumers and business 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  4. Vehicle Walk Outside Campus Fixed Walk Within Campus Fixed/Desktop The Wireless Landscape Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) • Metro/Geographical area • “Always On” Services • Ubiquitous public connectivity with private virtual networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) • Public or Private Site or Campus • Enterprise / premises application voice & data network extension • Nomadic / “pull” services • Non-licensed spectrum Mobility CDMA2000 1X GSM/GPRS 4G CDMA2000 1X EV-DO & UMTS DECT HiperLAN2 802.11a 802.11b Bluetooth LAN 0.1 1 10 100 Mbps 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  5. Exploring the Vision -Disparate networks • Today, there are three disparate networks: • Wireline network • good for voice but not data (carry data by making it look like voice) • Data router network • a "best effort" network which loses about 6% of traffic • OK for data but not for carrier-grade voice • Wireless mobility network • 2G: good for voice • 3G: data oriented, voice capacity improvements 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  6. Types of connections • People-to-people, supporting full mobility • when you call a number, you call a person, not a place • People-to-machine "nomadic" connections • Machine-to-machine sensor connections All will bring data traffic to the packet network and increase the need for network capacity and speed 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  7. Network transition • Wireless transitioning from a voice business to a data business that includes voice • Built on one core packet network and a variety of access methods • Adoption of data services an essential aspect • Mobile access to the network now exceeds fixed access in some 100 countries Wireless voice is today’s reality. Wireless data will be tomorrow's reality. 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  8. Access IndependentWireless Core Network • There will be multiple access technologies: UMTS, CDMA DO/DV, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 802.11, even the PSTN/ISDN as a “fixed access network” • They will deliver more capacity, improved spectral efficiency, higher speeds • There is no ‘best’ access solution: often the answer will be a hybrid network with several wireless access types providing a choice of access 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  9. Essential network attributes • Attributes of the single packetized network: • voice over IP • universal mobility (presence, location, roaming) • security • “five 9’s” reliability for mission-critical applications • IP services • Must support IP services embedded in the network (VPN, QoS, billing), and enable consumer and business services applications at the edge 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  10. Wireless Data Networking • The real cost efficiencies and personalized service opportunities that will drive the market in say, five years, will evolve from intelligent, all-IP core networking • Broadband radio access and core networking are converging: the industry is evolving to true wireless data networking 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  13. WLANs • WLANs are highly-complementary to broader 3G wireless WAN coverage • won't stand alone • an indoor solution to provide high bandwidth data access in nomadic environments • WLAN cannot facilitate the true, ubiquitous 'anywhere, anytime' coverage that consumers have come to expect for wireless voice services 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  14. WLANs • A joint WLAN and WWAN offering can make a lot of business sense for wireless operators • enables high-bandwidth data services to customers to increase overall ARPU • enhance end-user satisfaction and customer loyalty • furthers the 'always-on' lifestyle: where we need to be going • Hurdle for WLAN business model is not CAPEX, but OPEX • deploying WLANs is inexpensive • costs of backhaul and maintenance are challenges: need to bring these costs down 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  16. Evolution to Wireless Data • State of development of wireline infrastructure: • where quality, high speed, low cost are norms, move to wireless data will come when performance = “desktop” • other markets: users will quickly migrate to wireless data offerings that are better than their current experience • Major reason for penetration variations: cultural • European wireless users tend to be much more mobile than consumers in other parts of the world • Regions with very low wireline penetration: wireless emerging as mainstream form of telephone service • Calling-party-pays model encourages wireless penetration for in-bound calls; called party pays for air time model discourages giving out mobile phone numbers 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  17. Public Access WLANValue Chain Consumer • Marketing, billing • Aggregator WLAN Service Provider WLAN Operator • Access points, gateways, etc. Data Center ISP Backhaul Leased Line Provider Site Leasing “Facility Owner” • WLAN service provider • Wireline ISP • Corporate LAN • ILEC • CLEC • Airport (lounge) • Hotel • Coffee Shop 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  18. Business Scenarios • No Coupling • WLAN service provider and WWAN service provider unrelated • limited end user satisfaction • Loose Coupling • various degrees from minimal (downstream billing integration) to close partnership between WWAN and WLAN service providers • potential for maximum end user satisfaction • Tight Coupling • WWAN and WLAN are same service provider • maximum end user satisfaction 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  20. The PSTN/ISDN as a“Fixed Access Network” • Some markets, especially developing countries, recognize that 3G wireless data will be the future, but the economics are difficult • Where wireline available, want to be able to use the PSTN/ISDN as a “fixed access network” • enables all services except terminal mobility, even when roaming • potential to reduce demand on wireless spectrum • makes wireless more attractive • simultaneous stimulus to PSTN/ISDN • access options include UIM card (suitable terminal), DTMF digits, and WLAN (suitable terminal)! 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  21. Conclusions and Next Steps (I) • Establish open protocols to allow different wireless data networks, devices and applications to interface seamlessly • Consumer adoption of wireless data services depends on a common language so that all devices can and will work with all applications on all networks • ITU-T, OMA and 3GPPs working in this direction • Access independent core network essential to long term subscriber satisfaction, operator revenues, infrastructure purchases • address inter-system roaming, mobility management, authentication • more cooperation between radio access and core network 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)

  22. Conclusions and Next Steps (II) • Stop playing CDMA vs. GSM vs. UMTS • consumers see services, not technologies • each standard has its merits depending on individual operator needs • argument about which is "best" is irrelevant • Networks must recognize the wireless access reality • wireless voice access today; wireless data tomorrow • Drive consumer adoption of data services, regardless of access technology, to tap into this enormous new consumer market • consumers pay for services, not technologies 28 Apr - 1 May 2003 GSC-8 (Ottawa)
