Next Generation Networks Summit 2008 will equip you to achieve a future-proof network

The telecommunications industry is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented change. The rapidly expanding array of telecommunications services is causing consumers and companies to adjust their expectations whilst forcing operators to respond with an ever-increasing urgency to develop strategies to counteract the growing number of competitors, build new revenue streams, improve margins, reduce churn and capture new subscribers into previously untapped markets.

Moving onto Next Generation Networks (NGN) promises a whole menu of advantages such as greater flexibility in terms of the technology and services on offer, access to a range of new applications specific to next-generation networks and most importantly, a significant reduction in the cost of running and maintaining separate voice, data and Internet services. However, with it comes the fear of whether it is the right time to adopt NGN and if the decision has been made, how do you migrate from a legacy network to NGN?

2nd Next Generation Networks Summit 2008 will focus on what telecom operators need to know to balance their current network and understand the vast array of services, products and applications which can be adopted via NGN whilst future-proofing their networks to capture the highest APPU customers. This year, experts ranging from practitioners, regulators, telecom operators and vendors from Asia Pacific, Europe and beyond will come together to share real-life experiences on migrating to an all-IP network & discuss key challenges and strategies on leveraging on NGN to capture the highest ARPU customers.
