Technology that can turn DSL opportunities into bottom line profits

High-speed broadband access networks offer you a lucrative source of revenue and profits. By leveraging IP (Internet Protocol) transport and services, combined with advanced ATM switching, you can deploy more high-profit services for your business and residential customers as you reduce your infrastructure costs.

The broadband opportunity

Experts predict the growth potential of converged access networks to be huge, an excellent opportunity for providers who have the infrastructure to take advantage of it. For example, IP services are expected to be a $25 billion opportunity for service providers by 20041. Fully, 84% of large enterprises are expected to utilize VPNs by 20052. Similar trends are predicted for bandwidth-intensive video services (broadcast TV, entertainment on demand, etc.), with demand quadrupling each year through 2003 and doubling through 20053.

In addition, in spite of the economic downturn of 2001, a number of subscriber trends look very positive. Broadband subscribers should reach 165 million in 20054, while the U.S. DSL market will grow from 4.5 million in 2001 to 13.9 million by 20045.
