• Background.
• Obsolescence of TDM Technology.
Current scenario
of Telecom
Carriers
• Requirements for new services and increase of the current services.
- Fixed telephone service growth.
- Mobile service growth
- Wide development of data services.
- Introduction of novel services such as IPTV.
Proposal of Development
• Development of Services on NGN networks with NAM (GIE).
• Optimization of National Transport Network IP/MPLS.
• Designs and implementation of Local and Regional Metro
Networks.
• Introduction of the objective quality validation of services in real
time (and its extension to quality profile of telecommunications
network).
Beginning of the scheduled development
• Different levels of a NGN Network.

• Conclusions
The introduction of Ethernet Metro networks in ETECSA constitutes the main core for
the development of ETECSA’s target network guarantying the growing requested by
the MIC in the triennium, as well as the incorporation of new services like IPTV.
The experiences on IPTV services validation in Telecom Italia using Free Probe has
been the starting point of valuable research experiences carried out in ETECSA
together with the development and programming of an IPTV service platform used in
this telecom company. It was done as from the study of the VideoLAN software code
source which reduced the cost of research stage.
The proposal of using Free Probe to validate the quality profile of ETECSA’s IP
network makes it an important alternative for the expensive purchase of Shadow
Router dedicated to this unique function that can be extended to other services in real
time like VoIP with an adaptation of the MDI metric.
The fulfillment of the recommendations made at the DSL Forum WT-126 is the base
of IPTV quality service in SD and HD formats, for which networks must meet the
quality profile according to UIT-T Y 1541.
The application of probes with T-Factor metric can be enlarged to quality validation of
TDT and 3G mobile systems.
