Service Oriented Networks (SON)

Telcos are radically changing the way they leverage their networks, and Web 2.0 has played a major role in this transformation. The incorporation of Web 2.0 capabilities into Telcos vast infrastructure represents a paradigm-shift in the communications ecosystem. 

To enable this change, many leading Telcos are working to realize a single, service-independent network. This new network -- based on IMS architecture -- will decouple the service and transport layers, enabling a wide variety of “blended” services and applications. 

Service Oriented Networks (SONs) make those services and applications possible. They will allow Telcos to tap into the Internet’s applications environment – thus marrying the network’s inherent capabilities and web developers’ resources. This revolutionary approach allows Telco’s a fundamentally new and innovative approach to existing network infrastructures.

Hear industry experts discuss:

  • How tomorrow’s open, adaptable networks will reshape the communications status-quo.
  • How Service Oriented Networks will leverage network virtualization and decentralization to provide fundamentally new services and capabilities.
  • What practical, business-focused concerns accompany Service Oriented Networks, such as content ownership, OSS/BSS, and QOS concerns.
