But the payoffs include quicker innovation, improved flexibility — and significantly lower costs
By Shawn Grennan, National Sales Director
There’s no negating the fact that these are exciting times for those of us working in the telecom industry. Whether it’s dealing with IP transition, spectrum access, rural broadband deployment, cybersecurity or the latest policy initiatives, we’re all in the midst of planning and implementing new systems to stay ahead of the next technological wave.
I’d like to address the transition to an IP network and how businesses can:
- Plan and implement this change without service disruptions to customers
- Maintain a reasonable implantation cost
- Ensure a continuum of network integrity
Every day, global providers are upgrading their networks from copper wire (that was mainly used in legacy networks) and migrating to IP-based services–coaxial cable, optic fiber and wireless technology.
Right now in the U.S. alone, we still have about 85 million copper-based telephone lines in operation, according to the FCC.
Clearly, we have some work to do if the goal is to move to a solution comprised primarily of IP connectivity.
Finding the right IP network equipment and services provider
While each industry has unique specifications in order to accomplish this task, they all have one thing in common: they need a highly-skilled, well-connected system service partner who can supply network design, system configuration, products and network maintenance—all at a reasonable cost.
Let’s face it—your transition to next-generation networks is going to cost money—the question is how can you accomplish the goal using quality network products and services but maintain the bottom line?
We don’t think the OEMs have all the answers, which is one of the reasons we started this company more than 11 years ago. Not everyone wants–or is able to–continually upgrade their systems.
That’s where Worldwide Supply, a long-standing networking and wireless equipment partner, can help to navigate these changes today, tomorrow–and for years to come.
