ACC-2000	Designing and Deploying Multiservice Networks for Mobile Service Providers
Tuesday 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Mobile service providers are at a crossroads and need to decide to what degree they will adopt new data services (and new revenue streams) or remain as they are and consolidate their networks to a common infrastructure to reduce cost of ownership. This session covers principles of designing and deploying the transport layer for today's mobile and multiservice networks, including the support of future services, and issues and challenges that need to be addressed in the migration from cell to frame-based technologies. These services include corporate virtual private network solution services (VPNSSs) like GSM data access, integrated voice and data, and multiaccess mobility; access technologies (wireless LANs); and voice transit. This session examines the relevance of underlying technologies like Layer 2 Transport and Tunneling (L2VPN), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), ATM/Frame Relay, and time-division multiplexing (TDM), which will be explained in terms of their association with mobile and multiservice architectures. Network design options for new data services and deployment scenarios for migration from Layer 2 to Layer 3 VPNs will be discussed. Flexibility is critical in this uncertain world, and maximizing opportunities is crucial for survival and growth for mobile and multiservice network operators. This session is designed to be useful for mobile service providers. Associated Sessions: ACC-2030 Deploying 2.5G and 3G Technologies and Services in GSM/UMTS and CDMA Networks
