Legacy Doesn’t Mean Obsolete
Voice over broadband and mobile offerings may represent the future but in many environments copper loops still have an important role to play and represent an important revenue stream and customer satisfaction. Service Providers can leverage a modern IP core for lower operational costs and newer services, without impacting existing business. This hybrid approach offers service providers a bridge to newer technologies without casting off their existing investments.
Easing The Transition from TDM to IP
The G5 Line Access Gateway is pivotal in seamlessly transitioning from outdated TDM switches to an all-IP core – without disrupting end-user services. Service providers can retain their last mile copper, retain revenue and meet their regulatory obligations while dramatically reducing power and space requirements. The Emergency Standalone services also make it possible to risk costs by centralizing switching infrastructure without jeopardizing emergency services.
Lowering Power Consumption
A G5 is not only economical in terms of initial expenditures, it continues to deliver savings over legacy digital line carriers (DLCs). Operating at a power profile of only 0.25 watts per subscriber, the G5 can literally pay for itself in short order. As energy prices continue to skyrocket, the value proposition for the G5 continues to improve, delivering more savings month over month.
Robust Management Features
The comprehensive management capabilities of the G5, including CLI, TL1, and web-browser GUIs, provide service providers with detailed oversight of system performance and troubleshooting. This management flexibility speaks volumes about providers’ ability to minimize downtime and continuously optimize service quality for their customers.
