Strategy report | PPTX and PDF (7 slides) | Transport Network Strategies
Operators have long been restricted to single-vendor optical transport network deployments, which has limited their choice, flexibility and ability to reduce costs. However, recent technology developments mean that operators can consider deploying or migrating to a multi-vendor optical network.
This report provides
- an analysis of the challenges that operators have faced when trying to implement a multi-vendor optical transport network strategy
- an overview of the main drivers of operators' interest in optical transport supplier diversification
- discussion of three solutions that operators can implement to begin diversifying their optical transport network supply base.
