CNC: A Key Step to Next-Generation IP Bearer Network
|
| CNC, China Network Communications, is seeking to boost its competitive edge via technological developments and service optimization. To achieve this, its key strategic goal rests with constructing a sustainable, valued and cost effective NGN & 3G based IP bearer network. |
 |
|
Four Vital Challenges to IP Bearer Network |
| IP technologies were not deployed in large-scale bearer NGNs until 2004 despite having reached maturity five years ago, illustrating that IP bearer networks are not just affected by technology. |
 |
|
Trends in NM of IP Bearer Networks |
| If one looks closely at the business operation mode of IP telecom networks, he or she will notice that the network management (NM) of IP bearer networks is rapidly developing towards distribution, standardization, intelligentization, integration and individualization. |
 |
|
Reliability in the "IP Route" |
| The last 40 years have witnessed phenomenal progress in the field of IP packet networks. Despite great advances in function and performance, the profitably and operational integrity of IP bearer networks rests with the construction of highly reliable 'IP routes'. Unreliable networks, on the other hand, can impinge heavily on a carrier's profits. For example, the SLA's penalty clause for a 1-hour communication interruption fines an offending carrier 1 day's income. |

How Should IP Bearer Network Prepare for IMS Era? |
| IP bearer networks mark the inevitable transformation trend that all carriers must obey. However, not only has the deployment of NGN or 3G networks produced problems with reliability, QoS and security, but the evolution towards IMS has created even more challenges. |
