This project corresponds to the second phase of a project
developed in the French initiative “Media and Network Cluster ” and
initiated mainly by Alcatel, France Telecom, Devoteam and Thomson. The
first phase of this project consists of designing new audiovisual
interactive services (essentially in the Video On Demand (VOD) area) for
fixed and mobile networks, analysing network architectures and
technologies adapted to this project (in particular, the IP Multimedia
Subsystem Architecture) contributing to the relevant standards (3GPP,
TISPAN, MPEG or DVB for instance) and disseminating this technology by the
European partners. The second phase, kernel of this Celtic project
proposal, is addressing a broader scope, i.e. enhancement of the mentioned
architecture with IPTV service in general. It is also dedicated to
validation of the architecture and usage of the innovative and interactive
services by a new set of users having different cultural backgrounds. It
targets the platform installation commonly with a new set of European
partners in order to test interoperability and technical implementation of
the new produced standards. This Celtic project will also enlarge the
dissemination process in the European countries and address the
finalization and broadening of standardization process in the area. The
use of new emerging IP Multimedia technology will allow describing open
architectures and standards and then building open interfaces between
systems and operators creating a huge “convergent” world in the mobile and
fixed network domains. These interfaces will be the links between the
different actors (industrial, content providers and operators) and the
warranty of the inter-working and interoperation scenarios for the
telecommunication of today and tomorrow. The accent is set on the
definition of the general architecture around an appropriate technology
commonly used in order to define a set of tools, procedures and services
making easier the deployment of complex services and the use of different
kinds of terminals. The innovative audiovisual services are also a real
challenge regarding the audiovisual real-time constraints of such contents
like lip-synchronization issues or subtitles synchronization. Of course
this architecture point of view shall not mask the specific efforts to do
in specific technological domains like storage in network management,
adaptation of the multimedia content to the different kinds of terminals,
broadcast of real-time sessions, quality of service needed by audiovisual
services in telecom networks, security and charging issues. To achieve the
concept of “Integrated Telecommunications Systems”, the final phase is
more than tests between operators but a real operational deployment of
networks and services validating the concepts before a final commercial
launch. The shared platform between European operators will be the source
of a pan-European laboratory which will enable trial and evaluation of
service concepts, technologies, system solutions and business models of
the future projects around new services and applications, broadband
infrastructures and security.
