With a minimal investment in
hardware, real estate and staff,
emerging competitors can quickly provide
telecommunications services and
support a large number of customers
and services with our 5ESS®-2000 Switches.
Beginning with a Very
Compact Digital Exchange (VCDX)
and one SM-2000, one can grow a
network incrementally in response
to customer needs using our "plug
and play" modules.
The 5ESS®-2000 Switch also offers
many advantages to emerging
competitors who are building larger
networks. Because the 5ESS®-2000 Switch
is SONET compatible, it's
ideal for emerging competitors who
are initially deploying a flat, efficient
SONET backbone. As a result, when
deployed off of a SONET ring, the
5ESS®-2000 Switch and it's AnyMedia™
capabilities enable new market
entrants to begin offering a wide
variety of services with just one switch.
The flexibility of the 5ESS®-2000
Switch also offers unrivaled network
deployment options. Its modularity
and distributed architecture enable
an emerging competitor to start
small and expand, leveraging the
switch's 600-mile remoting distance
capability. This also enables existing
Service Providers to build a segmented
network. Using separate switching
dedicated to different traffic --
for example, wireless, local and long
distance, there is a flexibility as ones
defines networks in response to
customer and market needs.
