In the NGN world, no truer words are spoken than "the future is now." <br />
And the competition in the information networking arena will only <br />
intensify in the next 5-10 years. Choosing the correct NGN-VAS strategy <br />
now will set your company apart. Value Added Services for Next <br />
Generation Networks examines the quest for the real added value in <br />
modern communication systems. The author covers more than just the <br />
technology itself, but also examines how it is being used and how it <br />
could be used to gain a strategic advantage. The book starts with a SOTW <br />
analysis for PSTN/GSM operators and new entrants and the threats they <br />
will undoubtedly face. The author examines the fundamentals of genuine <br />
communication services and the service providers' starting position, <br />
then takes you on a tour through the landscape of NGN standards, <br />
contrasting the 3GPP IMS architecture with that of IETF, UMA, and OMA. <br />
He discusses practical ways to build an NGN SDP and the essential <br />
business aspects involved in this enterprise. The book highlights how, <br />
technically, the NGN can be interconnected, or glued, to the existing <br />
GSM/PSTN infrastructure, justifying the choice of protocols and network <br />
architecture. It also describes general concepts, architectural <br />
requirements, and technologies in modern VAS platform and new VAS for <br />
the NGN in terms of network implementation, end user experience, <br />
business scope, and cost/revenue projections. But is NGN just a game of <br />
investments in equipment, of CAPEX and OPEX savings? Is the so-called <br />
triple play just a matter of marketing, partnerships, and mergers? How <br />
will the market play out? Where will the NGN and VAS ultimately go? And <br />
more importantly, what is your NGN-VAS strategy? By addressing these <br />
questions and more, this book prepares you for success in the emerging <br />
telecommunications environment. <br />
