Q: What is a new generation network (NGN)?
A: The term 'new generation network' or NGN is commonly used to describe networks that are characterised by the use of IP, fibre optics, DSL and new operational and billing support systems. The combination of the new Optus Evolve network and its supporting systems enables Optus to deliver an enhanced range of core networking services such as IP VPN and Ethernet VPN, currently available converged applications such as voice over IP and multimedia, and is a key enabler for the converged applications of the future.
