Study on KDDI’s Ultra­3G­ Voice from Global IP Biz Summit ­  

• KDDI technical officers love TDM, and do not like IP– Why adopt IP­based NGN solution ?             Simply because discontinuation of TDM switches                 No­alternative, ….. They accept to use IP 

•  KDDI  don’t care IP version, but does care business – Why they pushed IPv6 for 3GPP(IMS)/3GPP2(MMD) ?             Simply because their business is more than 10 years.                 No­alternative,…… They accept to use IPv6. 

• Then, they have consider network development – Signaling (expensive part of the network) should go with IPv6 – Transport still needs IPv4, at this time.

Recent Key Activities around IPv6

1. IPv4 Address Count Down Professional providers have been in serious, entering into the next 

phase  Investigation into back­end system in ISP/ASP, e.g., data­base 

system 

2. Nation­wide IPv6 Access Network  X­Day was the end of Jan.2007 by MS Vista

3. Support of Digital Broadcasting   For shutting down of analogue broadcasting in 2011   From Ultra­High Definition Quality to Sustainable quality for mobile  

4. WiMAX 5. SIP/IMS Interoperability

System Target 　 - Reduction of initial and running cost　 - Provides the service such as PSTN quality　 - Easy Operation for diverse / distributed facilities (e.g. by dormitory operator)

What IPv6 achieves 　・ Simplifies Network design / re-design fall into only three install manuals　 Reduce the required human-resources and it’s cost 1. Installation 2. Mis-configuration (i.e., 300 single number) 3. Trouble shooting

IP-Phone (by FreeBit)IP-phone solution based on shared IP CentrexHas already installed 20,000 terminals to 280+ sites of dormitories to manage their distributed facilities within 18 months

What IPv6 achieves 　・” Simplifies” Network design / re-design fall into only three install manuals　” Reduce” the required human-resource “cost” 1. Installation, auto-configuration at end-nodes 2. Mis-configuration (i.e., 300 single number) 3. Trouble shooting (thanks for NAT-free global IP address)

7,000 stores in nation­wide Japan

• Installation starting from February 2007• 80 stores installation per day • Multicasting service• ISDN  Broadband Internet with B­Flets

Lessons from IPv6 Operations• IPv6 is ready to go into professional and 

business operation – Initial cost: 

• New services;    Especially, when you can start some new 

services/applications, the cost of IPv6 is almost same as of IPv4.  Sometime, cheaper than IPv4, due to simple network design.

– Running cost / life­time cost • How will you come up with merging, 

restructuring of organization

• Huge operational cost – Large energy (e.g., gas, electricity) cost– About 30% energy saving has achieved !

• Proprietary technologies – Large complex has more than 200K

monitoring and controlling points– Each systems use different technology Let it with open TCP/IP technology (i.e., IPv6)

• COP3 by United Nation – 10%-30% energy saving

How to use the sensor networke.g., saving energy in building system

1. Improve portfolio2. Increase asset value

Energy saving and preserving the Earth is now “Global” agenda, while there is an economical benefit and insentive for private companies.
