Fiber Network Planning Pitfalls:  What Your Access Vendors Aren't Telling You

Attention is growing in the market towards developing infrastructure capable of accommodating the rising demand and scale of AI. Furthermore, there is a rising trend in the planning and construction of edge data centers located nearer to end users, aimed at addressing the high power requirements of GPUs and the ongoing transition of enterprise IT toward cloud solutions.
 
These emerging data centers are being built further away from existing data center clusters in pursuit of ideal infrastructure, and in particular, the availability of power.  These emerging data centers will need 400G/800G DC Interconnect (DCI) back to major data center hubs or major exchange points. 
 
This webinar will cover all of the below and more:
  - Key trends driving data center interconnectivity (DCI)
  - Evolving DCI architectures for service providers and enterprises
  - How to optimize networks to meet market trends
  - and more!

      ·  Eliminate nuisance calls that tie up contact center agents, harass hospital patients, and distract busy employees.
      ·  Spot and stop phishing calls
      ·  Mitigate toll-free termination fraud
      ·  Catch employees abusing or stealing telecom services
      ·  Add branding to outbound calls to help customers determine legitimate vs fake calls.

Join us on October 17th for a 45-minute webinar where we share real use cases and real solutions.

Unlocking the Future of IP and Optical Networks

Being a voice service provider is challenging. Many regional and rural service providers are constrained by legacy TDM networks that are expensive to maintain, are well into their late lifecycles, are becoming a burden to administer and manage due to resource shortages and therefore pose risks to their business vitality.

Continuing changes are experienced with vendors and products that seemingly constantly enter and exit the market. Ribbon offers a comprehensive transformation portfolio tailored to regional and rural providers.

Ribbon knows how to converge disparate networks, replace costly legacy switching, and operationalize new environments that meet the requirements of the latest broadband-first business models. And, unlike many competitors, Ribbon understands your market requirements, based on decades of supporting regional and rural providers.
