Webinar description
As the demand for bandwidth explodes, fiber roll-out is key to ensure consumers and businesses have access to the highest capacity broadband services possible. For operators investing in this technology, they need to ensure they can operate these networks efficiently and support all the services riding on them. The reality of networking is that they are seldom ubiquitous; operators need to handle multiple technologies and multiple vendor solutions. They need to handle current and emerging services and be ready for future services not yet fully defined but driven by IoT/Smart cities/Smart vehicles, etc. They need to handle a situation where complexity is rising but where needs and expectations for network management responsiveness, understanding and accuracy are rising as well.
This webinar will:
• Describe what a modern service assurance system looks like for a network deployment both today and going forward
• Define an architecture for SA for fiber-based networks supporting multiple services
• Provide some examples of actual customer deployments of next gen service assurance solutions
Attendees will gain an understanding of what is needed to assure a multi-service fiber network and what strategies others are taking to build assurance solutions.
