Introduction
The reality of today’s marketplace dictates that service provider networks change to remain competitive New modulation techniques Faster metro optical fiber rings Voice, high-speed data and multimedia services deployed closer than ever to the edge of the network These changes are largely upgrades and reconfigurations designed to improve reliability, availability, accuracy and breadth of services
Establishing a solid network foundation rooted in connectivity has already proven successful as networks transitioned from analog to digital and from copper to fiber, and as service providers joined networks together through collocation and consolidation As service providers approach the convergence of voice, data and video with IP-based services, a foundation of connectivity remains just as essential
Moving to new and more complex network models with a connectivity foundation in place delivers
multiple, proven benefits:
• Minimize operational costs The capital allocated to purchase new electronics, software and
connectivity pales in comparison to the multi-year, ongoing cost of labor to manage and maintain the network With a connectivity foundation, labor costs for everything from initial installation, to provisioning, to upgrades and reconfigurations, to maintenance is reduced Minimizing operational costs contributes to the bottom line just as strongly as new revenue sources
• Increase network reliability More and more, 99.99% availability pertains to more than just voice services With ILECs, MSOs, wireless service providers and others vying for the same customers, quality
of service measures and service level agreements will soon pertain to voice, data and video services Connectivity delivers reliability by providing termination, test access, and cable management strategies that ensure maximum service availability
• Maximize revenue The competition is positioning to earn new revenues from broadband services and take away annuity business from others in the marketplace A solid connectivity foundation speeds service provisioning while, at the same time, lowers the cost of provisioning With faster turn-up of services—and associated acceleration of revenue—service providers wield an attractive weapon in competing for customers
