The IP Transformation Is Underway Networks in Transition

Migration from silo’d TDM to layered all-IP

Multi-generational networks operating in parallel is the new normal

The PSTN Sunset has started


IP Transformation Is Underway Transition in the Core

Transition from a hybrid collection of legacy and next generation architectures

IMS NGN

From call control to controlling and managing the sessions and enabling applications

Growing importance of SBC functionality in next generation network


Transformation to 4G

Pockets of LTE will co-exist with 3G

Interworking required across mobile, wireless and fixed technology domains

Ubiquitous coverage necessitates technology interworking

4G – Diameter

3G – SS7/MAP

Internal network requires Diameter mediation as well

IP Transformation of Legacy Switching

Don’t just replace your switch, transform your network!

Reasons to accelerate your transformation

End-of-life platforms

Difficulty in finding replacement equipment

Innovation stagnation

Diminishing expertise

Any-to-any is critical

Higher operation costs

Benefits • Reduced OPEX • Eliminate risk of

EOL equipment • Better transition to

all-IP and IMS

Core


Next generation Diameter Signaling Controller
