Deployment of Next Generation Services- GINTEL participation

Always on broadband networks and SIP protocols for advanced telephony services has resulted in significant revenue losses for incumbent SPs. New service frameworks must be formulated and experimented with so as to generate additional value added revenues for all concerned telco parties. The GENESIS project aims to build a pre-productisation platform capable of serving and deploying advanced and integrated VoIP and business Value Added Services (VAS) for Small, Medium and Large Enterprises (SMLEs). Th e platform will be deployed on an NGN network and customers will access the services from wired and wireless access networks. The GENESIS platform will provide a set of VoIP and business VAS that will enhance current business communication services. The solution will be developed based on a VoIP Service Execution Framework following a standard NGN architecture. The services will include Corporate plus Centrex IP like services in an integrated solution. SMLEs will be interconnected through wired or wire less access networks and the core network will be based on IPv4/IPv6 technologies. The deployment will be based on standards and extensions to the standards will be proposed when needed into technologies such as the OSGi Framework. GENESIS will resea rch the deployment of business VAS over IPv6/IPv4 core networks. In the access network the GENESIS approach will be tested and validated in wired high speed lines and wireless access networks including WiMax mobile broadband technology. GENESIS will rese arch traffic engineeng and QoS issues on NGN networks using new IPv6 features. Transitions from IPv4 to IPv6 will be studied, modelled and laboratory tested. Finally, GENESIS will be a real prototype for development, validation, deployment and execution of advanced services, all of which are accessible from wireless and wired access networks and devices.
