Digital Switching Evolution
- Service Enhancements,
- Maximizing Carrier Profit Contribution
- Worldwide Status & Forecasts
In today's economic environment, telecom service providers and digital switch vendors need to closely control their capital expenditures. Now is the time for considering possible enhancements in or around central office digital switches.
Telecom service providers also need to find areas in which they can make profitable modest investments in technology, in or around their digital central office switching system that have a rapid payoff in order to increase their bottom line profitability in the next 2 - 3 years, providing support to their stock price.
This multi-client research report provides timely guidance to telecom service providers - "wireline and wireless" - as to how to maximize the profit contribution that existing digital central office switching systems, through enhancements in or around the digital switch that quickly add significant new service revenues or permit significant operating cost savings to be achieved rapidly. Further, telecom service providers need to know what other service providers are doing with respect to the growth in their digital switching installed base infrastructure to assist them in their own planning.
The key focus is on identifying applications for additional hardware or software technology that can provide profitability enhancements involving directly / indirectly the digital switch. Such applications exhibit the following:
- Low capital investment
- Provide proven new services
- Show rapid operational cost savings
- Provide rapid payback
- Provide incremental evolution toward next generation converged networks
Major new hardware and software enhancements are identified both generically and by supplier. Applications of these enhancements are analyzed, and a business case for their application provided.
This report provides a comprehensive worldwide installed base and on order status for central office digital switching systems, including host, remotes and port count - for both wireline and wireless operators.
This information is provided by country, by vendor for each of their major systems by telecom service provider. It is recognized as the most authoritative source of such data available anywhere in the world.
This two-volume study covers the enhancements and the application business case analyses in volume one, with the installed base and on order position, both in detail and in various summary forms provided in volume two.
MAJOR BENEFITS TO TELECOM SERVICE PROVIDERS:
- Identification of new services that can be profitably implemented within the next 2 years, utilizing enhancements in or around the digital switch
- Identify significant cost-savings that can be achieved in the next few years in the same areas
- Provides the business case analysis to show the payback period for each of these applications
- Provides insights as to what other telecom service providers are truly planning for the evolution of their digital switching infrastructure
- Learn what enhancements your digital switch supplier is not providing, in order to pressure them to provide those that you consider to be highly-attractive to you financially
MAJOR BENEFITS TO TELECOM EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENT SUPPLIERS:
- Obtain the most authoritative installed base and on order position for all types of digital switching in all countries and operators of the world
- Obtain an objective view of those enhancements in or around the digital switch that have strong economic appeal to telecom service providers
- Provides you with business case guidance on these new applications upon which to focus your sales and marketing efforts
- Age dramatically in medium-term production planning, since the report provides overall objective growth measures of the central office switch market
This report could make a significant contribution toward improving the profitability of telecom service providers and their equipment / software vendors over the next few years.
