Carriers are working to determine what devices are required to enable scalable value-added services and where these devices should be deployed. The very nature of these requirements makes it clear that a critical set of capabilities must be addressed in the central office (CO). Existing solutions, coupled with the cost constraints carriers face, make it clear that a new class CO-based product is required. Copper Mountain’s VantEdge Broadband Services Concentrator is purpose-built to meet these requirements cost-effectively in the CO.
In this white paper, readers will learn how the VantEdge enables service providers to deliver a wide range of value-added services by providing critical networking functionality in the CO. They will learn how the VantEdge helps providers manage the transition from ATM-based to IP-based services while offering a rapid return on investment and how the VantEdge serves as a flexible, high-performance, high-density platform for emerging broadband technologies.
