Next Generation Networks (NGNs)
Many South African companies still have to deal with using different systems for making phone calls, accessing data or taking part in video conferences, with each of those systems often having a different supplier and a different set of costs.
The whiteboard illustration below demonstrates how NGNs make it possible to combine applications, make information accessible to anyone, regardless of location, and integrate data from different systems.

Channel To Success
ECN focuses on its network and services and relies on its channel to identify opportunities and close deals.
It's who you know that matters. So says Matthew Montagu, channel manager at ECN. "We rely on resellers and wholesalers to act as our sales channel," he explains.

"When ECN started, we had no cost-effective model for servicing smaller customers," says Andy Openshaw, ECN’s chief commercial officer.

A Journey To Liberalisation
New entrant, ECN, is fighting the good fight to bring improved services, at reasonable costs, to customers.
"In a well-functioning market, competing suppliers are incentivised to reduce costs and innovate with new products and services. Unfortunately the current regulatory roadblock is preventing this from happening and the ultimate loser is the consumer. ICASA has finally issued the new electronic communications licenses.

The Shape Of Things to Come
A general trend is for IP to be adopted as the common protocol of choice for converged next generation networks (NGN). ECN has developed an IP based NGN using a range of technologies including copper wire, fibre circuits, WiMAX and digital microwave. "NGN's are based on a genuinely innovative set of technologies that are transforming the way businesses communicate. The key to this lies in the difference between what legacy networks and NGN's have to offer.
