Opal, the B2B division of The TalkTalk Group, brings the UK’s largest Next Generation Network to over 400 business partners.


Slide 3

What makes us different?Our networkWe own the most connected Next

Generation Network (NGN) in the UK

Our scale Over 4 million broadband lines

Over 300,000 UK business sites

Our commitment to Channel PartnersOpal combined with Tiscali Business Services

lead the market in NGN based voice and data services for partners and resellers


Slide 4

Is the NGN a “network nirvana”?

A National NGN, operated efficiently, is the enabler of fundamental structural change in the telecoms market.


Slide 5

What is an NGN? Unified multi-service

QOS enabled network

End to end IP

Separation of conveyance from network intelligence and applications

NGN means you can build new services without changing network infrastructure

NGN accelerates innovation

NGN has lower operating cost than legacy networks

Applications

Network Intelligence

Conveyance


Slide 6

Spend on network services is changingOverall spend on network services is declining

Decline in PSTN telephonywill accelerate

Growth AreasEthernet & IP networkingVOIPInternet-related services (including data centre)

All Driven by NGN Availability

Slide 7

Managed services and apps drive growth

Value migrates to managed services and applications where value-add is more sustainable

Slide 8

Ethernet over NGN is the BIG STORY? Ethernet is the established standard for network

interconnectivity, at work and in the home

It’s a disruptive technology, replacing Frame Relay ATM, E1, Token ring etc.

This is another telecoms inflection point (connectivity)

It can be delivered across NGNs with little incremental capex

It’s not distant dependant and it’s scalable

It’s end to end standards based, meaning compatibility


Slide 9

Ethernet growth in higher speeds

Growth in Ethernet connections are fuelled by demand for higher speeds and by leased line substitution

Slide 10

Not all NGNs are created equal

ADSL service quality is a function of distance from customer premises to the network.

Ethernet fibre costs are a function of distance from customer premises to the network.

The success of TalkTalk means that we have:A deeply built access network - 1,695 exchangesHigh capacity core and transit network to the edge – with massive unused capacity

It’s a scale game – why?

It’s all about scale…Opal NetworkCurrently has 1750 NGN

enabled Exchanges

This is 3 times as many as BT

This is twice as many as C&W

The Network currently carries 1.5 Billion minutes of VOIP traffic per month.

There are 4 Million data customers generating 150 Giga bits per second of public internet IP traffic

Slide 14

Other national NGNs

BT 21CN Very good for people in South Wales

BT has to run 16 parallel legacy networks due to the complexity and cost of migration to 21CN – a sub-optimal outcome in terms of efficiency and multiple-service delivery

Long way behind original schedule

C&W Lack the scale to justify density of POPs,

802 vs Opal’s 1750*
