21st Century Network - all change!
What is the 21st Century Network (21CN)?
21CN is a brand new next generation network (NGN) which has already started replacing all other voice and data networks throughout the UK.
Why another network?
Simplicity, business sense, and economics.
Simplicity, since it combines all networks into one therefore requiring no protocol translations.
Business sense, since there’s only one network and one protocol (IP) to manage.
Economics, since one network is far more efficient and much less expensive to maintain than the current sixteen*, some of which use old technology and are costly to keep running.
Telecoms companies are obliged to share these savings with customers, which means that everyone benefits.
* ISDN, PSTN, Frame Relay, X-25, etc
What does this mean to me?
Imagine a world where you plug a device into a network point, and it simply works. No configuring, no compatibility issues, it just works.
Imagine a world where you have only one telephone for ‘fixed’ and mobile communications. People call a single number and they always reach you. You never miss a call.
Imagine a world where someone leaves you a voice message and it’s delivered to you wherever you are, whether it is to your phone; as a written-out email; as an audio email (for playback through your computer speakers), or even to your car and played through your car speakers.
Imagine a world where your broadband connection scales up when you’re downloading a large file, and down when you’re asleep to save you money. Fast broadband on demand is controlled by you.
