IP services in the home are the key to winning the battle against your competition.

Taking the Battle to a New Level

Halting the Siege

If you are a traditional ILEC service provider, you are likely under siege. Cable operators have attacked you in the broadband and voice market. By offering voice services, they have begun to capture voice customers at an accelerating rate. Competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) are continuing to be a major factor, too. So, in order to compete, you need to take the battle to a new level and introduce new technologies.

Broadband technology, and the many IP services that it enables, are creating a new battleground. Those companies that deploy high-bandwidth connec- tivity to the customer and effectively develop and market IP services will win the war.

So, if you are a telecom service provider, you will need to offer bun- dled services that typically include IP television (IPTV), as well as other interactive services - in addition to high-speed Internet (HSI) and voice. The combination of IP services need- ed to meet this strategic requirement can increase the required bandwidth to the subscriber from 2 or 3 Mb/s to 20 Mb/s, or more. With Alcatel- Lucent’s VDSL2, 20 Mb/s can be delivered simultaneously to each port. Moreover, greater bandwidths on indi- vidual ports can also be delivered depending on total system load and loop lengths. Just as important, the ability to bond allows more bandwidth for customers deeper into the network.

Your challenge, put simply, is to pro- vide additional subscriber bandwidth – cost-effectively and efficiently.
