Consumer

Trends
•Consumers want business like services
•Ubiquitous Communication Services(Any Access/Transport)
• New Differentiated value-added services would evolve with the deployment
of broadband, high quality, secure services
• End-to-End Service Enablement will be delivered thru packet intelligence
• Customer “Self-Management” of network and Services using “WEB
Technology”

 Why this conversation now..?

• Old business models being questioned due to success of internet

• SP NGNs to adopt IP based internet models except try to make them
better
• Call control understandings for IP like SIP, MPLS make it ready to
carry voice and multimedia traffic
• SPs need to rework their business models and start growing profitably
again again
• Economies expected to become better and SP capex expected to
increase; SPs on verge of making network infrastructure investment
decisions
• Credible equipment providers now being tested on new metrics of
staying power

 Focus on Standards

• By focusing on ITU and other global stds,

Cisco is emphasizing Carrier Class on all
it’s products
• By focusing on meeting ITU and other
global standards Recommendations on
Performance, Reliability, Availability Cisco
is addressing carrier class requirements

Presentation_ID © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 36

 Future Commitment

• Cisco fully committed to open stds interfaces for

intercarrier & multi-vendor interoperability
• Putting optimum resources behind participating
in IETF, IEEE, ITU-T and various Forums
• Helping in driving towards consistency across
divergent standards activities
• Encouraging strong stds focus on products

Presentation_ID © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 37

 Summary

• SP Next Generation Networks must become a more reliable

and deliver Business-class internet
• Inter-working between SP NGN networks with the PSTN and
the Internet are mandatory
• Interconnections between carriers for IP based services are
becoming important
• New investment, business model environments require
rethinking past paradigms
• Network version of Moore’s Law mandates clear
understanding of NGN and where equipment investments will
be made
