Agenda
• Why a 21st Century Network?
• What does a 21st Century Network look
like?
• What new Standards are required?
• What do ITU and fora need to do?
Why a 21st Century Network?
• Make it easier to create new services
– Faster
– More people can create
• Make it easier to buy and use services
– Enable customers
• Make it simpler to deliver and maintain
service
– Process automation
• 30-40% cost reduction
What does it mean?
• New services
–
–
–
–
Open APIs and applications platforms
Mobile enabled
Re-usable components/capabilities
Build on broadband
• Cost reduction
– Not enough to do efficiencies and automation
– Radical network convergence to fewer
networks and systems carrying more services
– Converge in from the edge
21st Century Services Vision
“A world where all our customers feel
empowered
and are treated as individuals”

New Services (2)
• Broadband
– Move from selling best effort pipe to assured services charged per
session/time/
– Provide one way assurance (VOD, Turbo button etc) but also twoway multimedia calling
– Allow anyone to create services
• Business
– Provide ICT service, managed desktop, storage, hosted
applications… Build on IPVPN to have any access, including work
at home, cellular and WLAN
• Future voice
– Derived/replacement where needed
– Multi-media in both consumer and business
• Mobility
– Support mobile terminals
– Build on IM/mobile presentation to provide roaming over any
access
– Personal and terminal mobility
Cost Reduction
• Efficiencies and automation not enough
– need to enable customers and partners in
the service management processes
• Have to include future of PSTN (voice)
• Radical steps required
– need closure of legacy networks and
systems
• More important to converge in access and
backhaul than in core
– because opex and capex centred there

Highest Priority 21CN Standards
Requirements
• 3GPP Architecture extended to WLAN and fixed
Broadband access
• QoS
– MPLS (Session) based QoS
• Session Control
– extensions to SIP with full multimedia capability
• Manageability
– Commoditised componentised OSS
• Security
– Authentication across networks / operators
ITU is important to 21CN for:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Access Networks – SG15
Core Networks – SG13
Optical Networking – SG15
Spectrum – ITU-R
Numbering & Addressing – SG2
Signalling for QoS across multiple
networks – SG11
• QoS Architecture in SG16?
Important Fora for 21CN
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
3GPP – Mobility Architecture
IETF – IPv6, SIP extensions, MPLS, etc
TMF – standardised OSS components
Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) – (Mobile)
Applications, DRM
Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) – Gigabit Ethernet
IEEE 802.11x - WLAN
W3C – Privacy, Web Services
Liberty Alliance – Single Sign On
Conclusions
• 21st Century Network will only succeed
based on standardised components
• ITU must work with fora and consortia to
achieve standards for 21CN
• ITU-T Informal Forums Summit (IFS) must
lead way
