What is NGN? http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/ngn_at_a_glance.html Almost everybody claim themselves as NGN Each using different technologies such as ADSL, VDSL, Metro Ethernet, FTTH At different speed, 6/0.5 Mbps, 8/0.5Mbps, 10/10 Mbps, 100/100 Mbps, 08 / 39

The Wikipedia Deployed over the next 5 10 years One network transports all information and services (voice, data, and all sorts of media such as video) Encapsulating these into packets All-IP http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/ngn_at_a_glance.html 10 / 39
http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/ngn_at_a_glance.html What is the media in the next 5 10 Years? Video Format Storage Media / Resolution Video Sample Quality Magnetic Tape 320 x 240 Equivalent Optical Disc 320 x 240 10/10Mbps 1.5Mbps or 30/1Mbps Optical Disc 640 x 480 4-6 Mbps Optical Disc 1,920 x 1,080 20-30 Mbps Will NGN with access speed be enough to carry the media required in the next 5 10 years? 11 / 39
http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/ngn_at_a_glance.html What speed we need? General view from almost all NGN seminars 50/50 Mbps as a minimum 100/100 Mbps as a standard 1,000/1,000 Mbps is too much Should we adopt the general view? 12 / 39

http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/our_network.html Second Unique Characteristics Design for the Future Superior in-building network design Use of better cables (Cat-5 or Fibre) Zone design so that the length of Cat-5 cable is less than 100 metres Not addressed in many deployments. Just focus on the underground fibre The main reason why we can provide more than 1,000/1,000 Mbps R/F 39/F 38/F 37/F 36/F 35/F 34/F 33/F 32/F 31/F 30/F 29/F 28/F 27/F 26/F 25/F 24/F 23/F 22/F 21/F 20/F 19/F 18/F 17/F 16/F 15/F 14/F 13/F 12/F 11/F 10/F 9/F 8/F 7/F 6/F 5/F 4/F 3/F 2/F 1/F G/F SB SB SB SB FD F FD F 40-Stories Building (132m) 32 / 39
http://www.hkbn.net/ngn/our_network.html Rationale Behind The Transmission speed is inversely in proportional to the distance The longer the distance is, the lower the speed is Up to 1,000/1,000 Mbps over Cat- 5E cable if the distance is less than 100 metres without any modem The GE over UTP standard 33 / 39
