TISPAN benefits

Conclusions and recommendations


Introduction

Latin America is often relegated, from the remote view of equipment providers, global service providers, to a second or third place... Its needs, life, internal challenges and geography are not taken into account when defining generic solutions or designing future technologies.

How can we change that? ??



Latin America Specifics

Market still growing Mobile penetration growing Broadband penetration growing

Small ARPU Increased customer awareness Social inequities Dynamic market High competition Cost sensitivity National regulations/ standards



Typical deployed applications in Latin America are:

Migration / Optimization of existing Services and/or Infrastructure

Broadband IP Telephony (residential)

Voice over IP for Corporate Market Enhanced communication/collaboration Managed Communication Services Contact Centers


Our experience in Latin America:

Broadband IP Telephony (definition): It is a communication service between IP based users, that includes voice, video, data and multimmedia services. Deployments: limited scale as a defense mechanism against CLECs? Future: advent of Wimax, 3Play, could it bring more scale?


Our experience in Latin America:

VoIP for Corporate markets: incluing all communicaton solutions given by Service Providers to Enterprises Initial deployments were focused on site integration and cost

reduction More integrated / added value services are started to be

considered recently

Most common problems encountered are:

Investment levels / IRR

Remote communities (large areas w/ low population)

Interconnection problems Internal (within operators own network) External (IP interconnection within two or more operators)

Interoperability problems

Cost of terminals

Codec costs (specially for softphones - royalties costs)

PP



Most common problems encountered are (2):

Need to tailor solution for national variants

Regulation uncertainties for new services/technologies

No voice in standardization or industry bodies

Solution coverage: Generally 95% of requirements are easily covered, but

the remaining 5% are complex, needing 3rd parties or heavy integration


Regulatory needs

Regulatory needs vary from country to country, however the following main questions are seen in several of them: IP interconnection:

regulation is non-existing/missing routing / billing shall also be defined altogether

Can incumbent operators offer multimedia services? What about 3Play? Can CLECs give VoBB over another provider’s broadband access?

Can the access’ owner deny it? If not, how profit is shared?

Numbering/addressing related: Fixed-Mobile convergence (e.g. single number, interconnection fee, etc) VoIP based numbering

National specificity's (Call Collect, CAS R2, mandatory supplementary services). Do they need to be supported in a TISPAN network?

Old regulations: f.e. what happens when lifeline is required (vs VoWiMax)?


TISPAN Benefits

How can Latin America countries benefit by TISPAN?

Clear standard definition Reducing RFx time preparation (know specs) and answering Reducing Time to Market (already known solutions) Simplifying usage of 3rd parties to cover 100% of the requirements Investment stability (re-usage guaranteed)

Interconnection: Clearly defined procedures for roaming, interconnection and billing Protocols: SIP-I, others (protocols and procedures) Compliant products are expected to interwork easily

Infrastructure costs Having vendors interwork easily / less customization needed reducing integration costs Reduction of IT costs

TISPAN Benefits (2)

How can Latin America countries benefit by TISPAN?

Terminals related: Standardization reduces costs Provisioning/Security reduces deployment costs

Numbering/addressing related: VoIP based numbering: Tel URI / SIP URI domains Local ENUM, National ENUM, Global ENUM Portability/Roaming easily addressed

Network preparation Securities/Vulnerabilities Common Defense End to End QoS


TISPAN: Latin America specific needs

The following points are specific common needs among several Latin America operators (not addressed yet):

PBX (DID) or IP-PBX connection to a TISPAN NGN base network core

IP Contact Center Application: standardization

Codecs usage: definition/inclusion of royalty free codecs in IM-MG


Conclusions and Recommendations

Conclusions/ Recommendations

TISPAN can greatly help Latin American operators to simplify its future network evolution and reduce integration costs

Other important requirements like convergence, numbering/addressing, billing and ip-interconnection are covered

It is highly recommended to align base local regulations on the international bodies such as TISPAN, ensuring its industry support and further reducing the implementation efforts

It is encouraged that local Latin America operators take a more active role within the TISPAN working, to ensure that local requirements are treated in the base standards
