CSP offers premium network services backed by topology-aware transport assurance

Network operators can back up their SLAs—and offer premium services to generate additional revenue—using topology-aware transport assurance from EXFO.

Competition between communications service providers (CSPs) often hinges on the performance of their networks. That’s why premium services, and the revenues that flow from them, make transport assurance a must.

For example, a Tier 1 CSP in Europe wants to sell new premium mobile edge computing (MEC) services. To deliver on the SLAs it has to offer to penetrate this market, the CSP needs a transport assurance system that encompasses:

• Sensor data
• End-to-end (E2E) topology
• Anomaly detection
• Multi-domain knowledge

To gain these advantages, the CSP turned to EXFO and its topology-aware E2E transport assurance. Now, the CSP has a comprehensive view of its network and services. The view is based on near real-time performance insight and highly accurate measurements. And it results in enhanced customer experience, troubleshooting cost savings and improved revenues.
