Abstract:
The development of intelligent hardware and advancements in data communications networks have led to the development of smart technologies with Internet connectivity. Such devices are called Internet of Things (IoT) and are used to integrate intelligent solutions. The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has added virtuality, scalability, manageability, seamless cross platform communication and integration for ubiquitous availability. Mobile communication technologies have matured to 4G and 5G levels for global connectivity and use of satellite communications also called Wireless World Wide Web (wwww). Progress towards 6G and 7G networks will address the difficulties of earlier standards, making space roaming a reality. Convergence of data communication paradigms is imminent due to advances in network technologies and evolving reliance on software defined networks. While the use of cloud computing and virtual storage is rapidly being accepted by computer users, the security of information particularly personal data and healthcare has to be improved. In this paper we review the enabling technologies of Next Generation Networks (NGN) for smart world and migration to IPv6 suit. In addition we discuss broadband access technologies merged with communications and network systems being used by enterprises, shopping complexes, healthcare systems, emergency response systems and traffic control.
