Use Cases
Trunk Rehoming Project for Regional Operator with Tight Deadline
A small regional operator lacked the staff to execute their re-homing project within the tight timeframe required. We were able to successfully rehome all their trunking facilities -from their POP to their MTSO – on time and within budget.
Network Circuit Optimization Project Achieves $70M Annual Cost Savings
Following numerous upgrades to its Ethernet backhaul network, an operator wanted to optimize its existing TDM network to achieve $60M in annual cost savings. We optimized 10,000+ circuits and exceeded their goal by 16%, achieving $70M annual cost savings.
Large Ethernet Rehoming Project Delivered with No Network Downtime
A large U.S. carrier wanted to decommission and rehome one of its New York switches with over 1,100 cell site locations, which would require 2,300+ circuit orders. We successfully decommissioned the switch on schedule, with no network downtime.
Transport Network Optimization after Merger/Acquisition
Analysis and insights from observed network traffic data, including visualization of trends and anomalies, help identify and measure impacts on network and financial performance.
