Today’s Provider Challenges

�Mitigate need for near-term upgrades and premature replacements

�Reduce network layers/devices and numbers of “managed” elements

�Achieve operational consistency –consolidation, sparing and support

� Increase control & optimization of network infrastructure, application and service delivery

�Maximize uptime and mitigate operational interruptions

�Need to react quickly to competitive threats

�Flexibility of protocols & interfaces

Optimize Infrastructure Investments and Accelerate Returns


Business DriversInnovate to Differentiate

� Network adaptability to support new converged applications

� Deliver new services with existing resources

� Scale to meet incremental subscribers and higher ARPU

� Deliver non-stop reliability for essential broadband services (voice, video)

� Simplify provisioning and on-demand serviceability

Cost-Effective Migration to New Technologies and Architectures

Next Generation Network ArchitecturesOverlay Network

� Multiple networks & elements = decreased capital ef ficiency � Increased operational complexity� Loss of integrated subscriber control

Overlay / Multiple Networks


Why Consolidate the Network?

• Reduces Opex : Only one network to manage, only one service cont rol point• Reduces Capex : All services delivered through same network eleme nt• Service Ubiquity : Services are access network independent• Flexibility : Future-proof network for new applications and se rvices• Better User Experience : Enabled with common services platform
