Achieve Greater Efficiencies Through Network Consolidation
Modernization can be achieved
through consolidation; however,
consolidation affects the entire
network whereas modernization only
affects specific switches. Consolidation,
or the flattening the overall network
hierarchy, can improve network
efficiencies, reliability, performance
and customer retention while delivering
considerable cost savings as it
removes unnecessary network layers.
Consolidation of Central Offices
(COs) can be accomplished through
the extensive remoting capabilities
of the 5ESS®-2000 Switch. COs can
be consolidated into several Remote
Switching Modules (RSMs) or a few
Extended Switching Module-2000s
(EXM-2000) connected to a host
5ESS®-2000 Switch. Totally transparent
to the subscriber, consolidation is
accomplished by literally closing
down COs, that can be merged with
others within the 600 mile distance
and capacity capabilities of the RSM.
In addition to reducing operations
staff, consolidation also reduces the
amount of network equipment needed.
Consequently, software upgrades are
quicker to complete, resulting in
faster time to market of new services
and potentially increased revenues.
Consolidation also enables you to
"cap" existing host switches currently
providing analog voice traffic. Since
you can place all customers requiring
advanced services on a new 5ESS®-2000 Switch
while still using existing analog switches,
a long-term capital investment is made
in new technology while preserving
current equipment investments.
