Product Brief
Solution Description
Rapid service deployment is the key to grabbing
market share, the lifeblood of carrier business
economics. At times the infrastructure needed to
support end user services is not in place, creating
delays that cost millions in long-term lost revenues. To
overcome these ills carriers with access to wholesale
T1/E1 circuits can reuse the TDM network to bridge
the bandwidth gap and continue deploying NGN
services in areas where the infrastructure is developing.
