MANDALAY BAY CONVENTION CENTER, LAS VEGAS, NV |
| |
| WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES |
| Next Generation Network (NGN) standardization work is now well underway in the ITU-T and ATIS (as well as other standards organizations) to increase quality and service features for users, independent of the underlying transport technology. Following the success of these two organizations to identify and react to industry’s NGN standards requirements, and in continuing their commitment to achieve interoperable global standards, this workshop will build on the existing relationship between the two organizations to: |
- Examine the status of the work in both organizations,
- Identify standards work needed to support ongoing viable businesses for all parties as NGN becomes reality, and
- Enhance and extend ITU-T and ATIS cooperation to further coordinate regional global NGN standardization.
|
| |
| The combined objectives seek to promote successful NGN deployment, service transparency, and the transition from existing networks. |
| |
| A particular emphasis of the workshop will be NGN requirements and standards objectives from a North American perspective and the relationship of these with the global standardization work of the ITU-T. |
| |
| Session topics and program include: |
- ATIS and ITU-T read-out on NGN Activities,
- NGN Implementable Architecture and Capabilities,
- NGN Service Enablers,
