The challenging journey
4LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
3 key challenges
• Increase Revenue
• Reduce operational expense
• New Service creation and continuity of existing services
5LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
Part of the solution – strategic choice
• Op-Ex Reduction is achieved by– Network Convergence
• Elimination of duplicate costs
• Simplification (One Network) – All IP
• Reduce manual and high cost processes – automate
6LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
C7 Infrastructure – today’s situation
• Growth in SS7 traffic largely due to additional services (not just voice)• Large operational expense • Limited of offering services horizontally• Non-homogenous core network – no support for IP • Significant increase over time with new services not utilizing the
current assets• Many products coming to End of life period for vendors or telecom
equipment manufacturers

Key Drivers
Next generation signaling network
8LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
Key Drivers
• Cost effective – 50% to 90% lower cost of ownership
• Short return on investment period (6 to 12 months RoI)
• Consolidation of networks
• Investment protection (transporting SS7 over TDM, ATM, IP)
• Growth (SS7 Traffic and functionality for new services)
• Enhanced need for security (over Internet)

Next Generation Signaling
10LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
What is next generation signalling
• Next generation signalling means the use of IP basedtechnology and transport instead of traditional TDM technology
• This allows the operator to save dramatically onsignalling network TCO
• It prepares the operator for the migration towards newIP based services
• LogicaCMG deploys next generation signalling basedon Cisco’s leading ITP product
11LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
Solution Example for a Mobile Network
Next generation signalling tremendously simplifies the networkconfiguration. Together with less complex components, this leads tomore flexibility and lower TCO

ASSUMPTIONS (Based on conservative estimates)
•Total savings on OP-EX(replacing 16 STP’s) = 22 M Euros over 4 years
•ROI less than 1 year

IP Transfer Point
16LogicaCMG-IP-Solutions January 2006
What is an “ITP”?
• IP router
• Next-generation STP
• SIGTRAN signaling gateway
• Wireless LAN SIM authentication gateway
• SS7 Probe
• Multi layer router
– Advanced SMS router
• Distributed Short Message Router (DMSR)
