SURPASS supports LifeWorks, the Siemens

vision and strategy for the future of tele-

communications. SURPASS opens the doorto the world of Next Generation Networks

with its attractive applications and smooth

migration towards all-IP and optical net-

works. It provides the building blocks for

your network of the future:

s Next Generation Switching

Carrier-grade and customized Voice

over IP solutions are complemented

by a wide range of attractive con-

verged voice/data applications.

s Next Generation Optics

Flexible solutions for migrating your

transport network towards NGNwhile keeping track of OPEX.

s Next Generation Access

A complete range of flexible access

solutions offering any voice, data and

video service required for today and

tomorrow.

s Next Generation Network Management

Comprehensive management solu-

tions based on standards and open

interfaces, guaranteeing evolution

capability and the fastest possible

launch of new services.

The Next Generation Network presents a

persuasive value proposition to network

operators. Functionality is decoupled fromhardware, allowing the operator much

more flexibility in installing, configuring,

growing, and operating the various com-

ponents of the network. Its design affords

significant revenue and cost advantages.

On the revenue side, by centralizing appli-

cations and service control, you can intro-

duce new services faster. And new IP-en-

abled services deliver an enriched

experience to the end user as well as

greater profit potential to the operator

by converging the best attributes of voice,

data, and video communications in moreadaptive and intuitive sessions. Delivering

these capabilities over a single platform

and across a simplified network structure

eases cost pressures on operators who are

otherwise laden with separate networks

to scale and maintain.

As indicated in Figure 1, recent studies

confirm that reductions in operational

costs, the ability to offer new services,

new service bundles and scalability advan-

tages are key drivers of Next Generation

Network deployment plans by major net-work operators.

Widespread recognition of the need to mi-

grate to the Next Generation Network

does not, however, diminish the pressure

to do so in a financially sound manner. In-

deed, the economic slowdown in much of

the world is driving many operators to ex-

pand their early thinking on how best to

implement the Next Generation Network.

Many operators seek extension solutions,

in which TDM investment is capped and

the Next Generation Network is deployedto accommodate their ever-growing voice

networks. Other operators pursue replace-

ment solutions in which Next Generation

Network elements replace faulty or manu-

facturer-discontinued TDM switches. To-

day, we recognize that many of you are

considering overlay solutions in which in-

vestment in the Next Generation Network

is incremental to and independent of your

legacy systems.

Appreciating the Implications

Heightened interest in the overlay approachreflects two broad trends:

a) Market challenges are fostering a

change in investment priorities

Many operators are experiencing erosion

in their core voice business as a result of

economic contraction, wireless substitu-

tion, competition from new entrants and

premise-based solutions. Without voice

line growth as a driver, they are shifting

their investment priorities away from cap

and grow scenarios. Under constrained

budgets, replacement projects and net-work overhauls that will help operators

save future operating expenses are losing

favor to small-scale projects that address

more immediate concerns. Overlay solu-

tions offer an incremental, success-based

approach to building the Next Generation

Network. After the aggressive cost cutting

of recent years, operators are now focused

on solutions that will help them increase

top-line revenues.

Taking Stock of the Situation


3/22

With many operators having achieved

ommendable improvements in their bal-

nce sheets, the push toward qualitativegrowth is overtaking the need for quanti-

ative growth. This has set the tone for

evenue-, margin- and market-driven pur-

hasing behavior. Many network operators

re revising their view of service and fea-

ure requirements. They are becoming less

oncerned with replicating CLASS 5 fea-

ure sets and more interested in delivering

net gains in functionality. Multimedia ca-

pabilities will enhance their position in the

ommunications value chain. After up-

grading much of their network to support

wo-way digital communications, manyable operators in the race to triple play

are allocating investment toward voice

elephony.

b) At the same time, market opportuni-

ies for new services are becoming clearer

Successful trials and initial VoIP rollouts

re assuaging users concerns over VoIP

echnology and Quality of Service.

One-wire cost advantages of IP telephony

re driving more enterprises toward IP so-

utions above and beyond IP contact cen-

ers. A proliferation of native IP clients andbroadband access subscribers is rapidly ex-

panding the addressable market for con-

verged services and applications. An over-

ay approach helps the network operator

ccommodate demand for new services

without touching the CLASS 5 network.

A lower-cost service platform will help op-

erators achieve highly competitive pricing,

which will further stimulate demand.

Regulators are continuing down the path

of forming policies that encourage infra-structure investment that is tied to the de-

ployment of broadband-enabled services.

Our SURPASS NGN Overlay Solutions help

you capitalize on the flexibility presented

by an overlay approach. We believe this

flexibility will help you deploy new services

more quickly than the competition and

capture market share and deploy services

more cheaply, increase profits and also

deploy services where the competition

cannot and create new markets. These

advantages will help you migrate to NextGeneration Network very profitably.

SURPASS hiQ 8000 supports the LifeWorks

concept and offers next generation appli-

cations that enable you to play a major

role in this new world of communication.

Providing new IP-based services will help

you satisfy upcoming and evolving cus-

tomer demands, tap into new revenue

sources and lead the emerging market.

From our extensive work in modeling the

cost-benefit relationship associated

with our solutions, we have reached cer-tain conclusions. The revenue opportuni-

ties they will enable you to exploit over a

six to eight year period will help you real-

ize an internal rate of return (IRR) on your

investment in excess of 100%. Breakeven

occurs in less than three years. And offer-

ing new services over fewer network ele-

ments (a lower cost platform) assures that

youll achieve the margins you need to im-

prove your bottom line.

LifeWorks

Smart Communications Made Easy

LifeWorks is the Siemens ICN concept for the

elimination of fragmented user communica-

tion experiences and the removal of barriers

between all networks, whether private,

public, mobile or fixed. Services, applica-

tions and functionality will be available

throughout the different networks with-

out limiting performance or security.

Homogeneous operability simplifies using

services. To realize this, Siemens ICN uses

the SURPASS carrier solution and the HiPathenterprise solution, bringing these solutions

together. LifeWorks gives network operators

the possibility to offer new, innovative ser-

vices, allowing differentiation from competi-

tors and the exploitation of additional new

sources of income. Due to the enhanced

convenience and value which the operator

can offer, productivity is markedly increased

when communications throughout business

and private environments are integrated.

SURPASS Voice over Cable

Enter the Rich Voice Market

and Grow Your Bottom Line

As a cable operator, you started by provid-ing CATV services such as basic cable,

movie channel and pay-per-view. Then the

high volume data generated by the Internet

created a demand for broadband access

and you attacked this new market with

cable modems to provide high speed Inter-

net access. After having built up an access

network for TV and data, why not get into

the major profit generator the voice

market?

You are ideally situated to leverage your

access networks, and your position as abundled services provider will allow quick

penetration of the high revenue voice

market. This is, and will remain, the most

profitable telecommunication service in

the near future. Besides the revenue in-

crease, diversification and service bundling

of TV, Internet and voice will improve your

customer retention.

Benefit from Your Unique Position

You own the access and have a huge cus-

tomer base. You are perfectly suited to di-versify your product portfolio by offering

a complete service bundle consisting of

video, cable TV, high-speed Internet access

and high-quality telephony services. In ad-

dition, your unique position is made even

stronger due to the fact that your current

customers are your best customers, the

ones who have more money and are will-

ing to spend it on entertainment. By en-

tering into the voice market you will expe-

rience a huge increase in your revenues

besides the significant competitive edge

you will gain over companies offeringservices in the traditional manner. Business

figures can be further improved by adding

multimedia services to the network capa-

bilities.

All you have to do is to add certain new

components to your existing HFC network

the most expensive part of a network

in order to start benefiting from the reve-

nue generated by voice services. Siemens,

with its end-to-end IP carrier-grade SURPASS

Voice over Cable solution, will support you

at every step in this new challenge. In ad-dition to the existing Cable Modem (CM)

and Cable Modem Termination System

(CMTS), the SURPASS Voice over Cable

solution adds four key elements the

SURPASS hiQ 8000 Softswitch (central

intelligence), SURPASS hiG 1100/1200 Me-

dia Gateway (interface with the TDM net-

work), Resource Server (full IP-based an-nouncements and interactive dialogues in

different languages) and MTA/eMTA (Mul-

timedia Terminal Adapter or embedded

MTA). The Siemens SURPASS Voice over

Cable solution has been successful in inter-

operability tests with all major vendors

CMTS and MTA equipment in CableLabs.

This amply displays Siemens high degree

of commitment to PacketCable standards

and gives you a broad range of options

when choosing the best equipment for

your network.

The SURPASS Voice over Cable solution

supports all existing TDM voice features,

such as call indication, call restriction and

call forwarding features, and regulatory

features. It also guarantees interworking

with traditional PSTN/ISDN subscribers.

The SURPASS hiQ 8000 Softswitch lets you

handle customer and inter-carrier connec-

tions accounting by providing all relevant

information for billing purposes.

The interface towards the PSTN network

is made via trunk interfaces with the SS7signaling protocol, guaranteeing flexible

and cost-effective network design, fast de-

ployment and optimal traffic routing and

congestion control on the TDM side.

SURPASS Voice over Broadband

Deploy New Services Faster

and Cheaper

In the telecommunications market, cus-tomers show a growing demand for broad-

band Internet access. In order to handle

the emerging data traffic, carriers build

up or expand their IP networks. But why

should you use your network only for

simple data transport without seizing the

opportunity to additionally offer voice or

even voice-data converged services over

your broadband infrastructure?

SURPASS Voice over Broadband is the

Siemens carrier-class end-to-end solution

for cost-effective provisioning of voiceand next generation services to packet-

based subscriber lines or customer premis-

es equipment. It combines the power of

todays PSTN feature richness and reliability

with the higher bandwidth, flexibility and

economic savings of IP-based data net-

works.

Thrive on the New Generation of

Broadband Services

The trend towards broadband access (viaxDSL, Cable Modem, Ethernet, Wireless

Local Loop or Powerline) is already a market

fact. Broadband services will grow signifi-

cantly in the next few years, and you may

have invested heavily in your data infra-

structure without the revenue benefit you

are accustomed to receiving from voice

services. In order to succeed, you must re-

store profitability by more efficiently using

your installed infrastructure and offering

lucrative add-on services to broadband

subscribers, while at the same time reduc-

ing future investment costs. The telecom-munications markets of today are also

highly competitive, giving your customers

the opportunity to choose their provider

at will.

Since business customers have a high im-

pact on your revenues, it is essential to

keep them satisfied. But how can you ad-

dress these customers?

SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) and SME

(Small and Medium Enterprise) customers

often require broadband data in combina-tion with several voice lines, and you have

the solution for them SURPASS Voice over

Broadband.

The SURPASS Voice over Broadband solution

provides you with the Next Generation Net-

work way of transporting voice and dataover any broadband access media such as

xDSL, Hybrid Fiber-Coax, MetroEthernet,

Wireless Local Loop, WiFi or Powerline.

In essence, you must add three key ele-

ments to the core of your network and

place IP clients in your customers premises.

The core elements are the SURPASS hiQ

8000 Softswitch (central intelligence),

SURPASS hiG 1100/1200 Media Gateway

(interface with the TDM network) and Re-

source Server (IP-based announcements

and interactive dialogues in different lan-guages). Possible IP clients are CPG (Cus-

tomer Premises Gateway), IAD (Integrated

Access Devices), IP phone, or a softphone.

Since SURPASS hiQ 8000 is compliant with

IETF RFCs and ITU recommendations, IP

clients can support any one of the follow-

ing protocols: SIP, H.323 or MGCP/H.248.

This provides you a broad range of options

for choosing the best equipment for your

network.

The SURPASS Voice over Broadband solu-

tion supports all existing TDM voice fea-tures, such as call indication, call restriction

and call forwarding and regulatory features.

t also guarantees the interworking with

raditional PSTN/ISDN subscribers. The

SURPASS hiQ 8000 Softswitch lets youhandle the accounting of customer and

nter-carrier connections by providing all

elevant information for billing purposes.

The interface towards the PSTN network

s made via trunk interfaces with the SS7

ignaling protocol, guaranteeing flexible

nd cost-effective network design, fast

deployment and optimal traffic routing

and congestion control on the TDM side.

SS7 signaling can be transported over theIP network from the interconnection points

(SURPASS hiG Media Gateways) to the

Softswitch.

The SURPASS Voice over Broadband solution

is not only a voice solution. It also supports

the whole new generation of applications

based on SIP.

The SURPASS hiQ 8000 Softswitch, being

highly flexible, permits new deployment

of innovative multimedia applicationscombined with third-party applications

integrated by Siemens. Some of the inno-

vative multimedia services such as IP

Video Conferences, Unified Messaging,

Our Voice over Broadband solution willhelp you achieve a competitive advan-

age in the residential and small business

ectors of your market. You will be posi-

ioned to offer new voice and data serv-

ces at highly competitive prices, while

achieving very attractive margins. And

you will fortify your position in the bat-

le for broadband access market share.

Among incumbent local operators,

ome loss of traditional POTS revenue

s likely to occur with the introduction

of VoIP services. However, reduced sub-

criber churn, revenues from new cus-

omers, more revenue from existing

ustomers, additional broadband access

subscriptions, and greater profit poten-tial from new features collectively out-

weigh the risks associated with canni-

balization. Operators launching

VoIP-based services in new regions will

benefit immediately by saving on aver-

age some 50% to 60% in initial outlay

for network equipment, depending on

the scale and scope of their commercial

rollouts.

The centralized service platform and

streamlined architecture of our Voice

over Broadband solution results in a

network that is easier and cheaper to

operate, maintain, and grow.

Your network grows in step with de-mand in your markets. The risk of low

service adoption is far less than with

traditional network solutions, which

cannot cost-effectively address markets

with variations in service demand.

This allows you to capture market share,

deploy services less expensively, in-

crease profits, deploy services where

others cannot, and create new markets.

tion and usage, as well as per-subscriber

revenue, contributing to overall revenue

growth. Enterprise provisioning and main-

tenance tasks (moves, adds and changes)

are also web-based and user-friendly, and

give Enterprises real-time access to data

such as call logs and billing information.

Enterprise administrators will be able to

easily perform tasks that they would prefer

to manage as part of their business opera-

tions, a value proposition that can translate

into savings in your overall operation costs.

With SURPASS Business Connection you can

migrate your subscribers to a softswitch-

based network architecture in a practical,

cost-effective manner, leaving your exist-

ing PSTN network and services intact while

accelerating time-to-market for new serv-

ice offerings. At the core of SURPASS Busi-

ness Connection are extremely robust and

open platforms, like the SURPASS hiQ 8000

Softswitch, SURPASS hiG 1100/1200 Media

penses may be recovered faster becauseof the flexibility afforded by the Business

Connection solution. The risk of low

service adoption is far less than with

traditional network solutions, which

cannot cost-effectively address markets

with variations in service demand.

By serving more subscribers (new or

existing) over fewer network elements,

you will enhance your Return on Assets

(ROA). You will also gain greater pricing

flexibility. Having the ability to price

and package your services more com-

petitively will help you attract and re-

tain your subscribers without sacrificingattractive margins.

Improved functionality combines with

more intuitive services and greater con-

trol at lower cost to keep subscribers

satisfied. SURPASS Business Connection

offers you a more profitable business

model for enhancing your position in

the communications service delivery

value chain. With Business Connection,

become the trusted partner that your

subscribers cant do without.

SURPASS NextGen Applications

Searching for a New Key to Success

With LifeWorks, the communication of the

future starts today. Innovative applications

can be delivered over any network and to

any communication device in a user-friendly

and efficient way. LifeWorks leverages the

potential of Next Generation Networks for

network operators, companies and users.

Market forecasts confirm that the percent-

age of revenue generated by basic services

will decline due to market saturation, in-

creased competition and the resulting

price erosion as is to be expected in

deregulated markets. Although such basic

services will remain important and are, in

fact, a key requirement in any network,they alone will not suffice to ensure suc-

cess. The prospects for communication

service providers will in the future be

based on value-added applications. But

who will supply the intelligent, unified

multimedia applications you will need to

reap the full benefits? SURPASS is a highly

flexible carrier-grade solution based on

worldwide accepted standards that provides

next generation applications to give you

tomorrows services today. Open application

interfaces give you the power to put all

your ideas into effect from voice overdata right through to video communication

and web-based self-administration. With

SURPASS NextGen Applications you will

be able to provide highly innovative appli-

cations to your customers in the shortestpossible time in order to differentiate your

business from competitors, attract and re-

tain customers and increase your revenues.

The SURPASS Softswitch forms the heart of

the SURPASS NextGen Applications. Install

application software written by partners in

the IT and telecommunications applications

community on top of the SURPASS Soft-

switch and connect application servers

from partners via open SIP interfaces.

Siemens provides added value by profes-

sionally combining the most advanced

applications with a solid infrastructure tosatisfy carrier needs.

Tapping into World-Class Potential

The we SURPASS partner program intelli-

gently combines Siemens competence in

voice-data convergence with the innova-

tive potential of World-Class players in the

application business. The large variety of

our we SURPASS partners with their re-

spective off-the-shelf and customized ap-

plications puts us in the unique position

of being able to act as your single point of

contact for practically all end-user applica-tion ideas. Our contribution to these part-

nerships is the turnkey implementation of

the best Next Generation Network infra-

structure for fixed-line carriers, with core

components such as the subscriber data-base, media servers, conference units,

charging, security, and much more. These

core components form the basis for a

number of applications. The following lists

some of the applications already available:

Unified Messaging

With Unified Messaging you will enable

your customers to retrieve messages using

any type of device such as telephones,

PCs, web devices, PDAs, etc. Unified mes-

saging harmonizes all forms of messages

including voice mail, e-mail, fax, SMS andMMS.

Web Conferencing

Web Conferencing will allow your cus-

tomers to set up conferences conveniently

via an easy-to-use web interface. During

the conference call, a huge number of fea-

tures are available to the conference con-

troller who sets up the conference, and

also for all attendees (presence status of

the attendees, number of attendees, mute

other conferees, shut down the conference

and many more).

14


15/22

Video Telephony/Video Conferencing

With Web Conferencing you will open a

new world of communication to your cus-omers. Your customers will be captivated

by its ease of use, and a PC or a video tele-

phone is not implicitly needed since a tele-

vision set can be used as the primary

medium to initiate or receive calls.

Presence

Presence Service offers your customers

he possibility to see the status of all con-

act partners at a glance, e.g. online, busy,

eady for a voice or video call, gaming or

even text-based location information such

s I am in meeting room 4. The customerhimself can configure his own status and

mood, advising this to his friends on a de-

ined group basis. By introducing SURPASS

NextGen Applications you put yourself a

tep ahead of your competitors. This allows

you to attract and retain customers and

peed up time-to-market of new applica-

ions.

The full power of the we SURPASS partner

program, with all applications from personal

o corporate-wide, developed within a

homogeneous framework, is at your finger-ips.

Now you can mix, match and enhance ap-

plications to fit all your customers needs

from voice over data to video, secure inthe knowledge that standardization will

let you exploit your ideas in the most eco-

nomic fashion possible.

Developing applications for the PSTNhas historically been a slow, expensive

process. Services have to be implement-

ed either in the circuit switch or in sepa-

ate processors serving every local ex-

hange where the services are offered.

Network operators must depend on

heir equipment vendors for enhance-

ments, and changes can take up to sev-

eral years to implement.

n contrast, our SURPASS NextGen Ap-

plications solution enables you to im-

plement features and applications on

nexpensive, standard hardware plat-

forms using commercially availabletools creating services that would be

difficult or impossible to produce when

voice and data travel through separate

networks. You can exploit the advan-

tages of our architecture to achieve a

differentiated service mix, delivering

greater functionality to your subscribers

in weeks, rather than months or years.

Your investment quickly pays for itself

with:

s New revenue streams from new or

existing subscribers

sIncreased take rates of current broad-band access services from residential

and small business accounts

s Reduced churn resulting from sub-

scribers who, in the absence of your

offering, may have abandoned you

for an alternative.

And keep in mind that your long-term

profit potential is increased, with the

open protocol interfaces of our solution

unlocking opportunities presented by

a wide range of applications developed

by third parties.
