Smart Networks

By
EPP9 Smart Networks
Technical & Commercial Working Committee

24 March 2011
Key Deliverables/Activities of the EPP9 Working Committee

1 Baseline and Monitoring Exercises - to gauge the current

availability of smart networks and packages

2 Industry Guidelines on Smart Networks – The Technical and

Commercial Working Committees to develop guidelines for smart
networks.

3 Smart Network Awareness Campaign – To educate consumers on

the benefits of smart packages.

4 Self Regulatory Quality of Service Initiatives - To produce

guidelines for industry on QOS marketing.

Completing above will results in industry/consumer providing & experiencing :

• realization of End-to-end Priority of Service (PoS)
• differentiation of Quality of Experience (QoE)
• both the user and the operator are able to provision and monitor the
available services

EPP NAME: SMART NETWORK

DELIVERABLES: INDUSTRY GUIDELINES ON SMART NETWORKS
Description To develop Industry Guidelines for Smart Network to facilitate the introduction of Smart
of Network and its relevant packages in Malaysia in supporting the delivery of Pemandu KPIs.
Deliverable

1. The guidelines will enable the TWC and CWC to determine the basic technical
requirements and packages that best fit the current Malaysian market and forecast the
Objective of future requirements as well to ensure lower costs and better affordability of smart
the packages
Guidelines 2. The guidelines will then incorporates the outcomes of the PoC in the papers
3. To establish a framework for the introduction of the smart network in Malaysia as a
reference document to facilitate the ISPs
