terminals
Increase the value in the operator’s « reserved domain », the « line » itself
A Vision for the future –smarter terminals connected by smarter networks
++++Sites, portals in a tough competition (Operators but mainly Medias: MSN,
Yahoo, AOL, Wanadoo, Tiscali…)20+ proxies to be inserted in series in the network to add value to the exchanges crossing the network
1313
What is a proxy?
~ A proxy is an Intermediate node in the data flow
~ An IP network is made ofTransmissionNodes:
routers (to orient the flow) proxies (to work on the flow)
~ Examples of proxiesCache, firewall, network anti-virus, WAP gateway…
1414
Inventing the proxy platform
~ Nextenso Proxy Platform designed to develop and run proxiesPipe-line architecture specialized to work on the flowApplications are proxylets to be pluggedFull scalability of the software clusterFault-Tolerant by design

Nextenso Proxy Platform3 key advantages
~ 1. Coherent Administration, for the lowest OPEX Just one platform to manage several proxies
~ 2. Open Architecture, easily expandable to new services Toolkit to develop new proxylets to be plugged (by any
development team) Architecture compliant with IETF standard
~ 3. High-Performance, for end-users and CAPEX/OPEX The Operator must reach the best response time for end-users Impressive performance permitted from the specialization of
the platform (e.g.,Nx WAP gateway vs. traditional WAP gateways)
Much less hardware needed for the same traffic
1616
Proxies in actione.g.1, Dynamic re-branding
~ The operator’s bunch of services for its subscribers
Operator’s applications « base »
Partnership « kiosk »Any sites « connectivity »
Content providers as partners
Dynamic modification of the screen pages
to rebrand or co-brand the content
1717
Dynamic colorization of the screen pages according to defined operator’s rules
Proxies in actione.g.2, Dynamic colorization
~ New handsets support color
~ Wap sites are in black & white (B&W)
~ B&W services are not acceptable on color terminal (see the TV syndrom and the colorization of old movies)
Black & white pages
1818
Proxies in actione.g.3, Terminal-based content filtering
~ Each terminal has specific capabilities
E.g., document format
The proxy adjusts the pages and the documents (such as images type or size) according to terminal constraints
1919
Proxies in actione.g.4, Operator-level authentication
~ Operators can provide a single sign-on for the access to the on-line services
Ease of use for the subscribers (see phone keyboards)
Reinforce the role of the operator in the service delivery
Protecting the customer database with “blind identifiers”
Operator’sAuthentication server
The proxy authenticates.Then, it takes in charge the authentication with the applications of the partners
2020
Proxies in actione.g.5, MMS, simpler and much cheaper
~ MMS is not SMS
~ MMS is just an e-mail modified with specific protocols (… not compatible with Microsoft Outlook)
~ A proposal: supporting MMS with proxies and a standard e-mail server
~ 1. Protocols translation
~ 2. Charging
~ 3. Store the mails
~ 4. Support WAP traffic for MMS

Proxies in action e.g.6, Radio-based Location Calculator
~ The system computes a more accurate location using several BTSs.
~ The phone gets the radio parameters related to the surrounding BTSs (signal power, timing advance)
~ From this information the location is computed: “triangulation”

Data flowEnhanced Data flow
2222
Nextenso Proxy Platform pipe-line architectureis optimized for the implementation of proxies
~ The specialization of the platform permits More efficiency with a pipe-line platform than with a general-purpose
layered platform More value from the platform itself reducing the complexity of each proxy
(stability, creation of a proxy for a new business opportunity)

Summary
~ Terminals are become more and more intelligent. Microsoft & Nokia contribute to this evolution – and this is a good thing.
~ However, the danger is that operators' networks may be reduced to being "dumb transmission systems" as a result of this increased terminal intelligence
~ So, it is necessary to reinforce the business of operators by balancing the development of intelligence in terminals by adding value to the network -- and better serving the end-users.
~ Alcatel's latest lines of telecommunication systems embed innovative Internet functions designed to increase added-value services and generate more revenue from the network infrastructure.
