Services Over IP: Delivering New Value Through Next-Generation Networks

Overview The communications industry is facing unparalleled changes which are breaking down traditional industry boundaries. Providers from different technologies and backgrounds all focus on the same future - integrated service offerings for next-generation customers. Telecom Service Providers (SPs) are challenged as never before to defend market share and grow new revenues. IP technology is the catalyst for change. To telecom SPs, IP brings unprecedented changes beyond what is considered an ongoing evolution, in particular to the network: Network convergence brings together previously parallel networks onto a single IP-based infrastructure. Service convergence enables integrated service propositions. Network convergence links with service convergence to enable virtually "anytime, anywhere, anyhow" service delivery.
