Strategic network areas
Access
The Access project groups are creating innovative infrastructure solutions, technologies, and methodologies to bring more people internet access across all corners of the globe. Access is focused on removing some of the key blockers that make the connection to the end user difficult.
Transport
To keep the pace of exponential growth in network traffic, better backhaul is essential. Our Transport project groups are dedicated to decoupling hardware from software, which enhances the scalability of backhaul solutions. This approach increases vendor flexibility and facilitates implementations that significantly reduce the total cost of ownership for transport infrastructure.
Core & services
The most significant costs associated with a network are the ongoing costs of operations and maintenance. The Core & Services project groups are simplifying the core network architecture and improving efficiency and flexibility while reducing capex and opex costs associated with keeping a network up and running.
