CONTACTS

Part 1: From Circuit Switched To Packet Switched Network

Telecommunication networks architectures are changing to meet new requirements for a number of services/applications (Broadband, IP, Multimedia, mobile, etc.).

New generation equipment (softswitches, databases, service controllers, new protocols and interfaces, etc.) and new call/mix traffic cases are going to be introduced in the networks.

Different solutions/network architectures can be taken into account for a smooth transition from existing network infrastructures (PSTN/PLMN) towards New Generation Network (NGN) as a result of the convergence process leading to different applications/services sharing network infrastructures.

Part 2: Mobile Network Evolution towards IMT-2000

Wireless communications and Internet are merging in IMT-2000 to provide advanced mobile multimedia services. In this context, ITU is playing a pre-eminent role in defining frameworks and system concepts for bridging the digital divide. The second part of the seminar will address the various aspects of the Mobile Network Evolution to IMT-2000 as an optimum wireless communication infrastructure for the information society, with particular emphasis on global solutions adequate to the requirements of developing countries.
