Telecommunication

It is a compound of the Greek prefix tele- (τηλε-), meaning "far off", and the Latin communicare, meaning "to share".

Telecommunication refers communication at a distance by technological means, particularly through electrical signals or electromagnetic waves.

* All IP Transformation

The process through which communications service providers will evolve their people, process and technology to leverage a single, converged network based on the Internet Protocol (IP).

IP Transformation should enable greater efficiencies, lower costs and provide the basis value propositions centered upon applications, services, network access, and data carriage.

From a technical perspective, IP Transformation is the migration towards standards-based architecture that allows service providers to create multipurpose platforms sharing a common infrastructure.

From a business perspective it is the creation of new business models and relationships to support a service-and-application-focused orientation.

IP Network Transformation is the process of migrating TDM and ATM networks to a single, service-delivery oriented, end-to-end All-IP infrastructure. The evolution from legacy technologies to an End to End, Converged, IP based Network is the basis for IP Network Transformation.

A legacy system is an old method, technology, computer system, or application program.

Evolving to an all-IP network is a key way in which operators can gain the flexibility needed to cope with demand and differentiate in this increasingly competitive environment. As well as high performance and the agility to adapt to unpredictable demand, an all-IP network is also a cost-effective, secure and reliable platform when it is designed and implemented in the right way.

IP transformation simplifies the network architecture, reduces cost, increases network...
