Be Your Own Hero
A 4-Part Series
If you build it, they will come. Or, better said: If you don’t build it, they will go. Really. They will.
Unfortunately, budget constraints may not allow you to invest in your wireless and wireline networks as end users’ demands require. That’s where the difficulty lies.
That’s why OSP® magazine has created a new special section this year. It’s called "Building The Network". It addresses the latest and greatest ways to make network upgrades and transform your internal processes so you can do that network evolution magic you do without breaking the bank. We’ll explore new options to upgrade both the wireless/wireline networks along with strategies and best practices to contain OpEx. Even better, different areas of the network will be showcased in each part of this new 4-part series:
February
Part 1: Cell Site/Base Station Equipment
May
Part 2: FTTA/Backhaul/Offload Equipment
August
Part 3: First Mile Connectivity: Cabinets/Pedestals/Backup Power Strategies
November
Part 4: FTTH/FTTx in The Last Mile: Brownfield/Greenfield/NIDs/ONTs/Connected Home
That’s what it’s all about in 2015: Transforming the network so they (your customers) continue to remain loyal to you — not the competition.
Stick with OSP and save-the-date for OSP EXPO 2015 taking place at the Colorado Convention Center, Denver, CO (Education: September 1-3; Exhibits: September 2-3). By leveraging both, you’ll learn the latest technologies, tactics, and best practices to help you be at the top of your game.
