Carrier Issues in Transitioning to Next Generation Services
Making a smooth, fast and economical transition to offering next generation (voice, data and video) services is vital for carriers, yet poses critical challenges. With the right approach and the appropriate process improvements, carriers can rapidly introduce new technologies, such as ADSL2+ and VDSL, that will help them successfully meet the competitive and financial challenges before them.
Deploying Applications and WAN Service
Deployment of new applications and WAN services can be challenging in today's complex network environments. Some of the most challenging aspects of change lie in datacenter consolidation, MPLS WAN migration, and implementation of Voice over IP.
Deploying Ethernet in a Harsh Industrial Environment
While there are many similarities between corporate and industrial Ethernet networks, there are also crucial differences. The standard corporate Ethernet cannot simply be “teleported” into an industrial environment and succeed. Understand the hazards to which your network can be exposed when deployed in a harsh industrial environment.
Ensuring the Health of Tomorrow’s Fiber LANs
The health of your network depends on the quality of your network infrastructure which begins with complete certification by contractors or systems integrators that the cabling infrastructure was prop |
