Latin America. The industry is constantly changing, which has caused service providers to face new challenges to compete in the market, such as migration to cloud services, virtualization and IP connectivity.
Consumers are relying on these technologies more than ever and that means service providers must continue to monitor and evolve network infrastructure to cope with this high demand; all with the aim of providing quality services to its subscribers.
"To compete in today's digital marketplace, service providers must face big changes, not only to continue generating revenue, but also to offer a high quality of services to their users," said Jerson Calderón, Strategic Account Manager Enterprise at CommScope. "Challenges such as multi-channel video programming distributors, content providers and other IP offering packages are key to consider."
While the needs and requirements of users continue to grow in tandem with the evolution of the market, for Jerson Calderón there are two main trends that must be taken into account by service providers to remain competitive in such a changing market:
M2M Communications
This type of communications will foster the growth of data transmission, so its contribution to global data traffic will be significant. Here we must first consider the transition from IPv4 environment to IPv6 environments, essential for M2M management, deployments and compatible content.
"Seeking to improve administration management and process efficiency, or increase uptime, productivity and operational efficiency, solutions such as imVision, one of CommScope's solutions that through hardware and software development features is ready to support ipv6 environments, will help service providers meet today's challenges," added Jerson Calderón.
Mobility and connectivity
The rapid growth of mobile data traffic is widely recognized. This trend towards mobility implies great connectivity and, therefore, a robust operation of the network to meet the needs of the user.
In this regard, one of the recommended actions would be to deepen the physical layer architecture, as well as the alignment of infrastructure solutions with Ethernet technologies that allow communications service providers to maximize the benefits of NFV or SDN in preparation for a migration to 5G.
"In this way a good number of options show 40G to 200/400G links as great alternatives to consider. With detailed planning through the use of HSM (high-speed migration) technologies, the physical layer infrastructure can support the technology cycle which in turn faces the dynamics of increased data demand and time availability," concluded Jerson Calderón, Strategic Account Manager Enterprise at CommScope.
