Shared Dynamics Spur Rise of Next-Generation Networks

摘要

Next-generation networks are emerging through the use of new technologies that allow vaster streams of information to travel more swiftly than ever before. By speeding up data transmission and making it more efficient than in the past, scientists and engineers have opened new possibilities for previously impossible services, including interactive programs, realtime access to remote data, IPTV, and broadcasts to mobile handsets. Technologies like MPLS, VoIP, IMS and FTTx will form the building blocks of powerful new infrastructures, making NGNs the central medium of social and business interactions in the future.
