Lucent Data Networking: Evolution at the Multiservice Edge

Overview This paper discusses the importance of multiservice edge switching in supporting a phased migration to a converged network system architecture. It provides a context for business, operational, and marketing executives to understand the importance of switching at the network edge in supporting the QoS demands of existing services while increasing network profitability and introducing new service offerings. The new multiservice edge switch can maximize the profitability of existing services while enabling a broad range of new services and seamlessly migrating to a converged MPLS core network.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

One of the most important developments to help companies deploy converged applications is the emergence of IP virtual private networks (VPNs) with classes of service, in the shape of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

Voice traffic will be converged with data traffic over the same internal wiring. As some companies have only recently upgraded their PBXs, the business case for migrating to an IP-PBX is less clear. Voice is typically given the highest priority, in...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
