Global - Broadband - NGN Overview & Analysis

Synopsis

Archived report. This report was archived in 2008 and has not been updated since. A huge change is taking place in telecoms infrastructure, with the traditional POTS being replaced by an IP-based infrastructure. This change will facilitate data communications and file transfers via networked computers. IP is now adapted for voice communications (VoIP) and most corporate users are on IP networks. However the true value of IP is that it is becoming the core of the next generation public networks (NGNs); facilitating affordable triple-play business models that seamlessly integrate voice, data and video. However NGN projects are very complex in nature, and due to this their progress still remains slow. This report provides an introduction to NGNs, including analyses and an overview of the market. NGN infrastructure is discussed in more detail in a separate report.
