The main design consideration for NKN was to create an infrastructure that can scale and adapt to future requirements. The philosophy is to Encourage, Enable, Enrich, and Empower the user community to innovate without restrictions from network technology or administration.
As a next generation network, NKN addresses the following core requirements:
Designed with open standards, ensuring seamless interoperability between technologies and integration across different equipment manufacturers.
With growing cyber threats, NKN incorporates stringent security measures. Policies limit access to services, while a Central Command Control ensures proactive defense against present and emerging attacks.
Transparent delivery of services — whether legacy (like telephony) or new digital solutions. Flexibility allows for differences across providers and service tiers.
Supports varied client devices (PCs, PDAs, mobiles) and access methods (intranet, Internet), all while ensuring high performance and scalability.
Built for efficient monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance tracking. Proactive health monitoring is prioritized to maintain reliable service in a converged network.
