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.
