NGN IN PAKISTAN Challenges: During Migration Report (2010) - Publishid By Pakistan Telecommunication Authority

Next Generation Networks can be viewed as a ― communication network that allows unfettered access to all communication products and services, irrespective of the service provider or network connection. Basically the boom in the services of wired as well as wireless technologies, both in narrowband as well as broadband environments has created the demand for seamless connectivity between the networks as well as services. This has given rise to a need for an unwired network to support voice, data and video (triple play) over a common network, which is typically called Next Generation Network. In an Next Generation Network environment, it is expected that the consumers will be able to access their voice, data, video and new emerging media applications over a single network.At the same time, the provided service functions are independent from the basic transmission media. All the services are based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The advantage of IP networks is their flexibility and the simple integration of new applications.
