4.What is NGN?

Real Broadband™ has taken a dramatic leap from “optional tool” or even “luxury” to “critical utility” in any competitive society.


Next generation networks transform the way we work, learn, communicate, shop, find information and entertain ourselves and our families. When today’s children are adults, their world will be very different from the world we live in presently because of services enabled by next generation networks.

The momentum surrounding next generation networks continues to grow as governments conclude that their global competitiveness and long-term socio-economic development depends on ubiquitous digital connectivity. As much as railways and roads became critical infrastructure in the previous century, broadband is widely recognized as the foundation for high-performing economies during this century.

Network engineers now have access to technology which creates the connectivity that enables essentially any end user service requirement. Uncompromised digital connectivity is in demand to enable individuals, teams and organizations to compete in a modern economy whether they are in the private or public sector. The challenge is not in developing the technology, it is applying it through a business approach that creates ubiquitous connectivity and provides a choice of services to end users.

Today, the telecommunications sector is dominated by fully integrated telecommunication companies and cable companies who were founded on a regulated utility approach focused on voice and television services respectively. This approach, referred to as the traditional telco approach, compromises both performance of the network and choice of services to end users. The Axia Next Generation Network Solution challenges the traditional telco approach.
