Network modernisation to deliver simplicity, scale, and sustainability
You don’t need us to tell you about the challenges of maintaining a legacy network and supporting legacy services. There is an explosion in network demand happening, driven by users who want to access content when and where they choose. Legacy networks are not designed to adjust to these growing and unpredictable demands.
There are proven solutions that can alleviate some of the challenges. Done right, a modernised network can lead the way to product optimisation and customer experience improvements, as well as ensuring a secure and sustainable network that helps you deliver the reliable services that customers expect.

ReadIt’s time to rethink metro and edge networks
New users, applications, and endless content are creating an explosion in demand for connectivity at the network edge. In order to leverage new revenue opportunities, deliver compelling customer experiences, and meet competitive pressures, your network will need to evolve.
It’s all possible. By working from a unified view of your converged layer 0 to layer 3 architecture, you can easily and intelligently manage route optimisation, programmable routing, switching, and coherent network elements. You’ll also reduce the infrastructure footprint, space, and power required by the network as you unlock the power of convergence and deliver better customer experiences.
