    Going Faster and Staying in Control: - Building The World's Biggest NGN

    Uploaded by

    Amine Bouaz
    - BT began building its next generation network called 21CN to radically overhaul its business and systems to support new customer requirements and expectations. - 21CN involves converging BT's networks onto a single IP/MPLS core network, separating voice and data traffic, and simplifying the architecture for multi-service delivery from any access network including copper, fiber, and wireless. - 21CN is now operational in over 35% of the UK and being tested globally, aiming to provide equivalent access to competitors while enabling new types of personalized and third-party services.

    In conclusion

    21CN is carrier grade, secure and industrialised


    Customer experience on 21CN is paramount
    21CN moves BT from service specific platforms to
    multi service platform, delivering massive
    simplification
    21CN is enabling new service delivery over a global,
    real time, open platform
