Mind Commerce knows Next Generation Networks
NGN networks represent emerging architectures, frameworks, applications,
applications, services, and business models. The challenges and opportunities
of NGN's are many and varied.
Infrastructure
This report evaluates a variety of IMS based applications. IMS
applications are evaluated on a world-wide basis with a case study perspective
providing analysis and conclusions for each application deployed by network
operators. Each application is defined and described, and real world commercial
deployments are analyzed.
This report represents
a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the role of IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS) in implementing rich multimedia applications. Although there many
potential IMS applications, this report focuses on the following key rich
multimedia applications: Video Calls, Unified Messaging, Push-to-Talk,
Wireless/Wireline Convergence, Online Gaming, and Video-on-Demand.
This is a time of fundamental and monumental change in
telecommunications network monitoring. The shift currently happening is nothing
less than the wholesale transformation of the entire communications network
infrastructure built up over the last generation. There are several forces
driving this transformation, including the Internet and the mobile phone. All
participants in the market must evolve to survive and adapt to thrive. This
report key questions for service providers, investors and vendors.
This first report analyzes and forecasts the key IMS Components and User
Equipment (UE). The publication evaluates IMS based on its evolution and
business drivers with an emphasis on its role of plugging gaps in existing
networks. The report also covers the challenges faced by IMS migration. The
report also discusses the architecture of the components and UE along with
insights regarding components and UEs of existing networks that have served as
baseline and predecessor for IMS network elements. Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP), the backbone of IMS, is also covered. The report is particularly
distinguished with its analysis of key IMS vendors, providing vendor background,
their IMS strategies, and product and solution evaluation. Finally, the report
includes detailed market forecasts for IMS Components and UEs including regional
market segmentation.
This publication provides self-paced instruction for IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS). This is highly recommended to anyone seeking a better
understanding of the technology and business issues associated with IMS. It is
an excellent alternative to Mind Commerce classroom training and is a great
complement to Mind Commerce market research publications in the areas of SDP,
SOA, and IMS. Anyone purchasing at the Company-wide level will also be eligible
for up to one (1) hour of analyst phone consultation.

and new revenue streams from emerging applications and services optimized
by IMS.
Wireless Softswitch: Evolving the Core Network for Next Generation Wireless
This Wireless Softswitch report will answer your most important questions
including: What is a "softswitch"? Why deploy it? What are the
issues and challenges? Why softswitch is especially important for the wireless
marketplace and how it fits into the network? How does softswitch technology/capabilities
complement the evolution of next generation wireless networks? Who are
the leading wireless softswitch equipment suppliers and what are there
architectural approaches?
This report evaluates the potential for SDP as a
dependable, scalable and flexible platform for core business functions, next
generation applications, and independent services. SDP is examined within the
context of its relationship to the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the
objectives to response more rapidly to shifts in market conditions, customer
demands, new revenue opportunities, and competitive threats. The report includes
revenue forecasts by geography, function, and media type through 2012.

With research beginning in 2007, the report “Next Generation Network OSS/BSS Market and Forecast 2009-2014” provides a comprehensive analysis of drivers and issues related to technical and business aspects of OSS/BSS deployments and developments while forecasting their growth over the next five years.
NGN Applications and Services
Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC): Business Opportunities and Challenges provides critical industry analysis. The main body analyzes the PoC market and value chain, including how services, goods and revenues flow through Equipment Manufacturers, Software Developers, Service Providers, Content Providers, and Customers. Leading stakeholders are profiled and evaluated. The publication includes a technical tutorial with simplified explanations of PoC function and how the industry manages its technical standards.
Next Generation Messaging: Evolution to IMS and SIP evaluates the
evolving technology and market for messaging. This publication thoroughly
addresses the evolution of SMSC towards 3G IP enabled SMSC, including analysis
of 2nd generation GSM messaging [SMSC] to 3rd generation IMS enabled network
messaging with Instant Messaging (IM). The report takes a use case approach with
the network operator in mind, addressing issues with messaging platforms and how
operators can address them with various solutions. Particular emphasis is placed
on solutions for NGN messaging in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and SIP
environment.
