Network and Equipment Maintenance
In a highly competitive telecommunications environment, operational excellence is mandatory.
Customers have too many choices to tolerate service disruptions, and more importantly, carriers
need continuous revenue generation to be successful.
Network and equipment maintenance is essential to sustain operational integrity. As well,
managed maintenance services can reduce the overall costs of network ownership. A well-
maintained network, serviced by technicians with the widest possible array of equipment

expenditures for emergency service.
