  1. IMS for MMoIP(VoIP) Service in Cable Network Hai-Young Yang Director Lucent Technologies Korea June 13, 2006

  2. What is IMS? • An IP multimedia and telephony core network • IMS is defined by 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards organizations • Based on IETF (internet) protocols • IMS applies equally well to wireless and wireline access carriers • Supports IP to IP sessions over cable, DSL, 802.16, 802.11, CDMA packet data, GSM/EDGE/UMTS packet data, etc. • Equivalent to IP telephony systems being invented by some operators such as Verizon wireline. Both use IETF protocols. But IMS is standards-based. Business Implications: IMS cost-effectively enables lifestyle-targeted, blended services, positioning the operator to “own” the subscriber regardless of how they access the network Lucent Technologies – ProprietaryUse pursuant to company instruction

  3. IMS - Industry Standard Architecture • IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is: • Same framework for any kind of access (wireless or wireline) and any kind of traffic – VoIP, data, multimedia, supporting multiple clients and endpoints • Defined with Open Standard Interfaces -> 3GPP and 3GPP2, and based on IETF Protocols (SIP, VoIP, RTP, ...) • Standardized interfaces between applications, core & transport network layers, and back-office systems • Provides coordination or synchronization as required • Capable of Interworking with PSTN and Legacy IN Based Services (8xx, LNP, etc) Lucent Technologies – ProprietaryUse pursuant to company instruction

  4. Common contacts across services Enterprise & personal lists, enhanced with capability indicators Multimedia enriched communication Multiumedia information can be sent and received during a voice call Voice enriched data applications Predictable service interactions Operator can set defaults for service interactions to maximize ease of use and service quality; Subscribers can set policies on how they want their services handled, Retain ownership of the subscriber Provide better quality services than IP today avoid migration of value to the client device Differentiate services from competition and sell more services Choose the applications to create blended services; Home control same services even when the user roams More cost-effectively deliver high value, new lifestyle services to market Minimize client-server airlink traffic by leveraging IMS network information Reduce costs of new services through common applications infrastructure Reduced OPEX Centralised data and common functions Standardised QoS, roaming, billing IMS Benefits For End-Users For Service Providers Building Blocks for Lifestyle Targeted Blended Services Lucent Technologies – ProprietaryUse pursuant to company instruction

HDTV VoD Premium Video Digital Video DVR Basic Video Long Distance Voice Broadband Data Local Voice Wireless Voice The Real Opportunity: Blended Services,Not Just Bundled Services Bundling alone will not create lasting incremental value. • Bundling alone will only shrink the customer’s spending as value is eroded • Seamless blending of voice (wireline and wireless), data and video services required to realize full revenue potential • Providers with scale and wireline + wireless networks will have an advantage • Providers with a strong convergence story/vision will flourish and dominate Bundling drives commoditization and price erosion 250 200 Feature Driven Monthly ARPU (U.S. Dollars) 150 100 50 0 Voice, Video & Data Voice Only Voice & Data Blended services = Increased revenues, customer loyalty • Everyone is bundling to retain subscribers. • Bundling simplifies billing - does not reduce other OpEx.

  7. Current Vertically Integrated Services Converged Services Arch. Data Voice Video USER INTERFACE … … APPLICATION DB DB DB SESSION Subscriber Data ENDPOINTS To Deliver Lifestyle Converged Services, the Approach to Service Delivery Needs to Change • Today’s point solutions are expensive and don’t readily support new ‘lifestyle’ targeted blended / converged services • Core Networks need to embrace a Service Delivery Framework that enables blended services Key Attributes: Distribution, Consolidation, and Convergence Lucent Technologies – ProprietaryUse pursuant to company instruction

  8. IMS is a Services Architecturefor Cable Operators • Mobility is an essential component of the consumer & business offers • ILECs are implementing “grand-slam” bundles – MSOs must match • IMS and IP architectures enable greater ARPU, margin, stickiness and overall operational efficiency • Competitive advantage can be achieved by adoption of a common network and application platform • Economies and new services potentialare better with cable + cellular • Content and Applications (not price)become the differentiator • Unique content-rich services can leadthe consumer market & take share • Will protect against bundle-churn andexcessive bundle discounting An IMS Services Architecture allows a Service Provider to “own” its subscribers even when using elements of other operators’ networks Lucent Technologies – ProprietaryUse pursuant to company instruction
