IP Transformation Is Underway Transition in the Core
Transition from a hybrid collection of legacy and next generation architectures
IMS NGN
From call control to controlling and managing the sessions and enabling applications
Growing importance of SBC functionality in next generation network

Transformation to 4G
Pockets of LTE will co-exist with 3G
Interworking required across mobile, wireless and fixed technology domains
Ubiquitous coverage necessitates technology interworking
4G – Diameter
3G – SS7/MAP
Internal network requires Diameter mediation as well

IP Transformation of Legacy Switching
Don’t just replace your switch, transform your network!
Reasons to accelerate your transformation
End-of-life platforms
Difficulty in finding replacement equipment
Innovation stagnation
Diminishing expertise
Any-to-any is critical
Higher operation costs
Benefits • Reduced OPEX • Eliminate risk of
EOL equipment • Better transition to
all-IP and IMS
Core
