Cost-effective IP transformation

The Bell Labs Total Cost of Ownership Study (2008) compared Alcatel-Lucent IMS, Alcatel-Lucent softswitch offers and competitors’ softswitch offers, and demonstrated that Alcatel-Lucent IMS is the most cost-effective offer. The Alcatel-Lucent IMS Solution provides the following benefits.

Reduc tion in recurring OPEX

Alcatel-Lucent IMS offers a highly concentrated and efficient subscriber-provisioning engine whose automation and low provisioning fallout rate offer better recurring OPEX.

It provides one element management system (EMS) on a single server connecting and coordinating subscriber translations for the entire core networks, and a single system for all fault and performance information also lower OPEX.

Greater CAPEX savings

Alcatel-Lucent IMS needs fewer servers at most network sites and provides improvements in security hardening procedures and single access point EMSs, improving installation and turn up and thereby providing greater capital expenditure (CAPEX) savings.

Higher penetrations of IP-to - IP traffic accentuate the IMS architecture’s better total cost of ownership

The Bell Labs study examined a single application: VoIP. Multiple and multimedia applications further tip the customer-expenditure scale in favor of IMS solutions over softswitch or point solutions.

The Alcatel-Lucent IP Transformation Solution is a suite of services that enables wireline and wireless network operators to transform an existing legacy network and services portfolio to a next-generation technology and services offering in a controlled and managed way. According to the Bell Labs Study, this solution reduces OPEX by up to 12 percent per year and CAPEX by 5 percent to 30 percent, depending on the size of the network, and increases revenue in established, complex legacy networks, generally spread over dispersed geographic boundaries. If you have wireline and wireless assets, you can leverage the IP Transformation Solution to evolve the two networks into a single, converged infrastructure.

The transformed core network then provides the foundation for realizing cost reductions — through the transition to a more efficient IP-based network, and enabling new services.

Alcatel-Lucent can help you design and deploy a hybrid migration strategy that leverages existing network infra- structures to enable a new generation of services. These services will offer consumers and businesses the ability to mix and match capabilities at will: voice, data and video over broadband wired or wireless infrastructures.
