Connected Networks

Networks & Smartwork Connected!

The disparity of applications and their dependencies on network capabilities is only growing every day. At this scale of disparity, deployment of applications/service specific management tools is not practical. To add to this complexity along with the applications and services, the role of devices or equipment is also evolving. This involves additional integration touch points for the services management systems. Hybridization in deployed access networks (Wireless and Wireline), is leading to higher complexity in terms of disparate management systems. Systems require the capability to manage these growing instances of inter-dependencies or growth in demand for solutions or applications like M2M Communications based applications and increasing levels of home network automation.
