Arabcom 2005 – Peter Briscoe Challenges of NGN Migration
NGN Drivers Customer More Services Lower cost • For Customers • Reduce cost of calls • New services • Remove separate Voice & Data • For Operators • Increase potential market penetration • Reduce operational costs • Reduce equipment costs • Reduce transmission network costs • Compete with new service providers • Maintain or increase market share • Increase the range of services able to be provided More Revenue Lower cost Operator
NGN Operational Issues • Keeping costs under control • 20%-40% Idle inventory reduction • 30-50% IT Cost reduction • Introducing new service offering • Content control over access • Dual network operation • Understanding assurance issues in period of transition • Providing timely migration • Cutover of existing customers to new infrastructure • Training staff on new technologies Network is the destination of the 83 % of the CAPEX and the 32% of the OPEX of the company - Source: FCC ARMIS Database; IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) Analysis
Fastest growing mobile market in the world! 40% Grow in 2004 20 countries tripled there growth rate Only 1.5% internet penetration 12 million broadband customers Three top regions for growth 20% in Reunion 14% in Seychelles 6% in Tunisia and South Africa Triple growth rates (2003 & 2004) Cote d'Ivoire Morocco Senegal Sudan and Tanzania Investment in new network (could be NGN ready, reduce upgrade costs) Potential Up-sell of data service over same infrastructure Demand for services help support migration costs Demand for service ensures fast ROI on investment Regional Characteristics (Africa June 2005) Impact on NGN Migration http://www.networkingpipeline.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=164900975
How to get to migrate to an NGN (Example) • The migration from switched network is in stages: 1. Add IP Core network with QoS 2. Migrate Trunks to IP Core network 3. Simplified Access 4A. Add new services 4B. Migrate existing services to NGN • Allows phased regional cut over at different speeds • Enables IP Core to be gradually built up

Commercial OSS Technology Resource The Role of OSS • OSS translates between the Business and the Network • It ensures the technology provides business value • Process Support • Network Engineering • Service Fulfilment • Service Assurance • Enables • Optimal use of CapEx • Minimises OpEx • Maximises customer loyalty • Market responsiveness • Adoption of new technology • OSS is the key enabler for the 21st Century Telco Business transactions Technology transactions
Convergent OSS – loosely coupled layers Mobile Fixed CRM and Order Management Service Layer Logical Layer Physical Layer Single integrated platform based on inventory Media Layer
Summary: OSS Requirements for NGN Migration • Support for new and old technology within a single system • Allows migration automation • Acts a single assurance point through migration • Proven supports for all access technologies (xDSL, T1, Ethernet, PON) • Supports network build and service delivery • Automation helps speed roll out of new network • Service provisioning functions run over the same model • Provides planning and network management • Core IP-MPLS traffic engineering support • Automation de-skills operations • Helps with service roll out and day-to-day network management
