NGN (Next Generation Network) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. This is another name for the "new public network" or NPN. NPN, while not yet a reality, is an evolution of the existing incumbent carrier telephony networks to a single converged network. The old circuit-switched model gives way to a packet-oriented multiservice (voice, video, data) network that supports QoS (quality of service) and unique hybrid services such as Internet call waiting. See "NPN (New Public Network)." Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
