Features: This book explores the technology and applications of Next-Generation Networks (NGN) from both perspectives, systematically and comprehensively discussing the important protocols, key technologies, and business applications involved in NGN. The book is divided into 11 chapters. The technical section elaborates on traditional voice technology and VoIP; several key protocols for softswitching: H.323 protocol, SIP protocol, MGCP protocol, and H.248 protocol; various transmission technologies for current and future networks; wireless and wired access technologies; and network information representation technologies and directory technologies widely used in NGN. The business application section focuses on intelligent network services, call centers, internet services, and NGN business integration, with an example of Alcatel Shanghai Bell's NGN experimental network to explore the current development status of NGN in China. This book is oriented towards the practical application of NGN in the telecommunications field—from technology to application, with content ranging from simple to complex. It serves as a technical reference for telecommunications network strategy experts, telecommunications network design engineers, telecommunications managers, and operators, and is also suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in telecommunications engineering-related fields in universities and colleges.
