 Greenwoods
Communications, has announced the launch of its 'Network Rationalisation'
service to help communications operators more efficiently control
the capacity on their networks and dramatically reduce capital expenditure.
The service will enable operators to outsource the re-distribution
of existing equipment across a network in response to fluctuating
traffic volume, eliminating the need to purchase new and costly kit.
 While
operators currently have more capacity than they are likely to need
in their backbones, the local network rings inevitably suffer from
uneven demand. This means that while some links are at full capacity,
others are under-utilised. To optimise network capacity, operators
need enough routing equipment in the right place at the right time
to cope with this demand. However, as a result of the recent industry
downturn, telecoms companies are increasingly unwilling to expend
capital on costly new equipment.
Greenwoods' Network Rationalisation service allows operators to remove
under-utilised equipment from one site and re-deploy it at other sites
where traffic is high. By optimising equipment usage in the network,
operators can enjoy substantial cost savings as the need to buy expensive
new routing equipment is dramatically reduced. Reducing capital expenditure
in this way, positively and directly affects carriers' bottom line,
and is a major consideration in the current market.
 Additionally,
by outsourcing this function to Greenwoods, operators are able to
improve network performance without incurring the cost of recruiting
or retraining to acquire the necessary skill sets. In this way, operators
can instead maintain their focus on the delivery of core services
to customers.
"With shareholders breathing down their necks,
anything that reduces capital expenditure is a major boon for operators,"
said John Greenwood, MD Greenwoods Communications. "Our new rationalisation
service allows operators to keep up with the capacity demands at busy
sites without having to buy more expensive equipment. With the industry
still turbulent, it is very important for operators to ensure that
they are getting the most out of their current infrastructure before
they consider any upgrade plans." |
