Integrated Access

In recent years, the telecommunications industry has been transitioning from traditional circuit and TDM-based networks to Broadband and IP-based next-generation networks. UTStarcom has helped to lead this transition with IP-based next-generation voice and data network deployments in a host of emerging and established markets globally.

Service providers are seeking integrated offerings to support legacy TDM services, ISDN BRI and leased lines in an IP domain to reduce the burden of maintaining different infrastructures for different applications. By implementing this strategy, service providers can allocate valuable capital and human resources toward revenue growth opportunities. Service providers are also seeking to integrate their xDSL and FTTx offerings to provide xDSL extension and service customers optimally.

The UTStarcom iAN8K B1000 accommodates carrier-grade broadband access, telephony and data service interfaces in a single compact NGN platform, enabling operators to offer value added “Triple Play” and broadband business services and migrate to NGN while maintaining the traditional telephony services.

The iAN8K B1000 access platform offers a wide range of interfaces:

• ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+
• VDSL2 (EFM)
• SHDSL (ATM, TDM)
• COMBO solution (POTS and ADSL2+)
• POTS and ISDN
• Ethernet

The variety of interfaces provided by the iAN8K B1000 enables service providers to roll out any mix of a wide range of user services. Packaging these services enables operators to potentially increase their average revenue per user, improve customer retention and differentiate their services. Designed to ensure standards compliance and interoperability, iAN8K B1000 open integrated access solutions provide easy integration with existing network and operational systems.

The UTStarcom portfolio shares a common call control (softswitch) and an integrated back end system (BES) to offer common network management, billing, provisioning system, etc. For the service provider, this results in easy provisioning and lower operating expense and better insights on customer needs and requirements.
