Next generation Switching Network(NGN):
Next-generation networks are based on Internet technologies including Internet Protocol (IP)
and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS).A next-generation network (NGN) is a packet-
based network which can provide services including Telecommunication Services and able to
make use of multiple broadband, quality of Service-enabled.
NGN invole three main architectural changes
n the core network, NGN implies a consolidation of several (dedicated or overlay)
transport networks each historically built for a different service into one core transport
network (often based on IP and Ethernet). It implies amongst others the migration of
voice from a circuit-switched architecture (PSTN) to VoIP.
In the wired access network, NGN implies the migration from the dual system of
legacy voice next to xDSL setup in local exchanges to a converged setup in which the
DSLAMs integrate voice ports or VoIP, making it possible to remove the voice
switching infrastructure from the exchange
In the cable access network, NGN convergence implies migration of constant bit rate
voice to CableLabsPacketCable standards that provide VoIP and SIP services. Both
services ride over DOCSIS as the cable data layer standard.
3G Licencing:
Fibre link:
Modern fiber-optic communication systems generally include an optical transmitter to
convert an electrical signal into an optical signal to send into the optical fiber, a cable
containing bundles of multiple optical fibers that is routed through underground conduits and
buildings, multiple kinds of amplifiers, and an optical receiver to recover the signal as an
electrical signal. The information transmitted is typically digital information generated by
computers, telephone systems, and cable television companies.
