  1. The use of SOA and GRID technology to allow telcos to act as efficient IP service providers in the future Presentation for the GRID Concertation Meeting 1.6.2005 Erik Dahl, Senior Strategy Advisor Telenor, Norway Coauthors André Bersvendsen, Babak Farshchian

  2. Challenges for telco (such as Telenor) • Decreasing will of payment per transported unit gives reduced revenue per user (ARPU) for traditional telecom products • End users’ willingness to pay is moved against end user services at a higher level, such as video (TV and VoD), software (ASP), storage, etc • Telco may increase ARPU by offering end user services at a higher level and increase our strength as an access supplier • A strategic goal will be to simplify, standardise and modularise the product portfolio 2

  3. Telenor An international telecom operator based in Norway Our Vision: Ideas that simplify • Telenor shall be a driving force in renewing, developing and introducing new solutions that simplify our customers' workday. • Telenor's vision is demanding, setting an ambitious goal for the organisation and its individual employees. • Renewal and simplification of our own structures and routines is a prerequisite for attaining competitive power and added value. 3

  4. Telenor’s organization Telenor Nordic Mobile Intl Broadcast Marketing Fixed Mobile IS Operations 4

  5. The contribution of SOA and GRID • Service Oriented Architectures may be used both to simplify Information Systems (IS) and the network itself • So far Telenor has a lot of legacy systems, causing nuisence and high costs • The introduction of SOA and Web Services is just beginning • Our research department has been studying SOA and GRID technology for years • Telenor actually built a ”GRID” called Supernett in 1992 (with 34 Mbit/s connections between 4 cities) 5

  6. Projects in CRM, Order and Network Information have identified substantial need of integration across business units For ULTIMAS alone one has identified need for development and adjustment of more than 130 interfaces Strong functional coupling between applications and systems It is difficult to integrate across business units Establish a future-proof architecture that supports: Cost-effective development, operation, and management of integrations Simpler consolidation of IT-systems Efficient support for process development Establishment of reusable services across systems and business units Predictability and shorter time to market for development of new interfaces Establish a suitable organisation to handle integration needs Related challenges Call Call Call Call Call Call Call Call Call CRM CRM CRM CRM CRM CRM CRM CRM CRM Center Center Center Center Center Center Center Center Center ERP ERP ERP HR HR ERP HR HR ERP ERP HR HR ERP ERP ERP HR HR HR CIM SOA CIM OSS OSS Billing Billing OSS Billing OSS Billing OSS Billing OSS OSS Billing Billing OSS OSS Billing Billing Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy Legacy System System System System System System System System System Introduction of SOA in the IS portfolio Situation 6

  7. SOA in the network… 8

  8. From ”SILO solution” to Next Generation Network Today Single Service Networks Target IP Service Environment IP Service Platform IT/IS Service Management Domain (IS/IT) User service domain Services Services Services Services Services Services Development IP Service Platform Service Brokerage Domain Network Delivery Domain Communication Control IP/MPLS network Radio/TV Telephony GSM ATM (Data) IP/MPLS Core and Aggregation Network Development Network migration Access Access Access Device Domain User Domain The IP Service Platform consolidates and optimises the production of services! 9

  9. Profitability of an IP service platform Estimation of value - A thorough overall value estimation Income - An IP service platform can be used to produce the services and generate the income that has been estimated in various separate projects (DSL/FTTP, Content on BB, WiFi/WiMAX, and VoIP) CAPEX - Investments on the order of xx M€ in four years is needed. This must be seen in connection with overall IT/IS and platform investments OPEX – An IP service platform allows for a more coordinated and optimal production of services that what is possible with separate servers Churn - Tighter integration between services reduces churn 12

  10. Possible schedule for penetration SOA in telecom network GRID in IT/IS for telecom GRID in telecom network SOA in IT/IS 2005 2010 2015 13

  11. From Web Services to GRID Services • Distribution of functionality • Lifetime (Time management of services) • End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) • Sharing of computing resources (time share) • Payment per use becomes possible (micro-billing) • Improved security functionality • Implementation of Peer-to-peer applications • Further cost reductions • Probably a gradual development • Maybe OGSA, maybe something else… • A vision (for the telecom operator): 14

  12. Situation today:Devices without a platform 15

  13. Tomorrow:Devices with a platform Enabler Enabler Enabler 16

  14. WiBrix Wireless bricks Personalized context-aware Service provision Enablers (operator-owned) Third party services Web service Web service Web service Web service Customer 18

  15. Pervasive computing Mobility Pervasive Computing Mobile wireless Global access Human- computer interaction Fixed Low High User experience/intuitiveness level 19

  16. Modular technologies- Function of WS and GRID Content/use Applications Data hosting and services Tele Media IT Service platform GRID Web Services Network GRID Web Services Terminal Web Services GRID Management, aftertreat,billing, payment GRID Web Services GRID Web Services Web Services GRID 20

  17. One promising role:Telecom operator as Service Enabler • Operators know their users • Identity, security and privacy, accounting and charging,… • Operators know how to operate a universal platform for millions of users • Network is a major building block for pervasive applications • Global access, connected devices, sensor data, access to web services,… 22

  18. Some requirements for future GRIDsas seen by a telecom operator The framework should : • Support interactivity and multimedia • Support location and context-aware services • Be network- and terminal agnostic • Support self-provisioning • Support single sign-on • Support pre-paid billing 23
