Next Generation Networks (NGN)

“Delivering the next generation network… Today”

Voice and data traffic continues to transition from circuit-switched networks to next generation IP-based networks for both fixed and wireless access. At the same time, next -generation networks themselves are being re-defined. These new NGN platforms must provide voice, data and multimedia communications over a converged IP infrastructure. NGNs today must also support multiple applications and cost-effectively enable traditional toll/tandem and local voice services, as well as new and converged multi-media services. Additionally, they must empower service providers to aggressively capture new revenue opportunities through faster service provisioning.

UTStarcom, an established leader in providing IP-based technologies, understands these customer challenges and provides a robust portfolio of leading edge IP-based solutions to address them. UTStarcom solutions are designed to converge existing services and new multimedia rich applications onto a single next generation network solution. UTStarcom incorporates a comprehensive feature set, including support for local and long distance voice services that in the past required implementation of large and very complex telephone switches.
