Experimenting NGN
service platforms
Chair: Carlo A. Licciardi, Telecom Italia Lab
This session will address
the results of experimentation of NGN service platform in particular from openness and
programmability standpoints. Interoperability, mainly based on the use of SIP protocol,
both from the servier and the user side (use of multiple devices for service access) will
also be demonstrated. The session will also give a short overview of the implemented
services and give useful hints for visiting the projects demo space. |

Panel session
Chair: Uwe Herzog, EURESCOM |
|
This session will
address the following key questions:
- How could NGN integration with back-office systems be done
(e.g. db, billing)?
- Can we relax the complexity of PSTN-SIP interworking?
- Do we always need five 9s for availability, or can this
shift towards Internet-like QoS?
- Is SIP the solution? or For what can SIP be the solution?
