Telcos
Why do Telcos Want FTTx?
Telcos are often challenged by the limitations of a legacy copper infrastructure. It is slow, it breaks down, and it can’t keep up with current traffic demands. Reliability suffers and operating costs escalate.
However, telcos know their legacy infrastructure can be maximized without a costly and disruptive “rip and replace.” They want to undertake a phased and cost-effective evolution from copper to an advanced carrier-grade fiber solution that will enable them to expand beyond Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS).
Why do Telcos Turn to Enablence?
Enablence helps these telcos become providers of multiple bandwidth-intensive services that will increase their competitive edge and generate new streams of revenue, such as HDTV, ultra-fast Internet and advanced voice. With our IP/Ethernet all-optical or next-generation copper network architectures, telcos benefit from lower operating costs, greater capacity and future-proof designs.
Our carrier-grade solutions are ideal for telcos of any size:
- Tier 1 providers, who typically have national coverage, millions of subscribers, and own all of the infrastructure necessary to deliver an end-to-end solution across a nation and interconnects with other international carriers. In smaller countries, a Tier 1 may share characteristics with a typical Tier 2 in a larger country.
- Tier 2 providers, who are typically regional players with 50,000 to one million subscribers in the U.S. (fewer in other countries). A Tier 2 may own some aspects of its network equipment and infrastructure, but interconnects with Tier 1 provider (s) to reach the global communications network.
- Tier 3 providers, who are typically municipal or local in scale with an average of 2,000 to 40,000 subscribers. They are defined as either ILECs or CLECs (Incumbent or Competitive Local Exchange Carriers). CLECs often lease lines from larger carriers and co-locate in the larger carrrier’s Central Offices.
How do Telcos Buy from Enablence?
In North America we sell directly to small and mid-sized telcos. Often those entities need engineering expertise, so we also work closely with third-party engineers and other consultants who provide special services such as network design, network/equipment specification and RFP development.
Internationally, we sell to system integrators and value adding reseller partners and work with them and their customers to ensure a successful network deployment.
