Abstract

The crucial challenge that the communication industry has been wrestling with is the issue of how its underlying technologies should evolve and be used to help service providers remain competitive for many years in an environment marked by increased rivalry and deregulation. The Next Generation Network (NGN), with its decomposed architecture, can take full advantage of sophisticated technologies both to offer new services that will increase service providers’ revenues and reduce their operating costs. A strategy for evolving smoothly from modern networks to this new network structure is essential in order to minimize the required investment during the transition phase. However, any steps that are taken during this transition must make it easier for the networks to evolve ultimately to the NGN. Thus, the migration strategy proposed and explored in this chapter enables the development of a capable concept of how the structuring of networks must be changed, and in doing so takes into consideration the business needs of diverse service providers and network operators.
