What is NGN

Next Generation Network (NGN) is a serviceoriented network.

NGN is a kind of open and integrated network

architecture.

NGN is a kind of brand-new network integrating

voice, data, fax, and video services.

Through the separation of service and call control, as

well as call control and bearer, the serviceindependent architecture is implemented, which
makes services independent of network.

Characteristics of NGN

Characteristics of Next Generation Network:

Open and distributed network architecture.

NGN adopts the hierarchical architecture, which is divided

into media access layer, transport layer, control layer and
service/application layer.

Independent network control layer.

Internetworking and gateways.

NGN is based on standard protocols and packet switching

network.

Introduction

As a SoftSwitch product, SoftX3000 is located at the

core control layer of NGN scheme.

SoftX3000 acts as a generic Call Controller in the

packet-switched network, supports the interworking
between PSTN, H.323, SIP, and MGCP domains.

SoftX3000 provides H.248 and MGCP based bearer

control.

In the NGN solution of Huawei, SoftX3000 acts as the

core of NGN, interworking with other NGN
components through the open network adopting
distributed standard protocols.
