Subscribers expect an instant response for any service they’re paying for. Addressing slow speeds, latency, pixelation, and inconsistent uptime with real-time analytics and controls will enhance subscriber experience, reduce overall cost, and help minimize backhaul traffic.
Intelligent architecture is the difference.
Remember the buffering screen on Netflix? There’s a reason that’s a thing of the past. Peering helped phase out buffering to deliver cloud-based content.
As routing evolved, it’s become more efficient. Part of this evolution hinges on a thorough analysis of how a network is working. This deep dive optimizes the delivery of services onto your network.
Those local services (or caches)—i.e. Netflix, Google, or Akamai—reduce latency, application failure, and enhance signal strength. But peering is not exclusive to only using an internet connection. It is nonlocal services, but it allows you connectivity to global services on a global scale.
Other reasons you should not overlook peering:
At the end of the day, service providers are working to get voice and video content as close to the end subscriber as possible. This in turn lessens the network load, increases the subscriber experience, and protects the end user.
An Internet Protocol (IP) Transit is a service-level agreement between an ISP and transit provider at a fixed cost. Experience port availability, dedicated bandwidth, IPv4 and IPv6 on the same connection with dual stack support, scalability, quick turnup, customization options, and flexible billing.
Improve your traffic performance, lower latency, and save money by using an Internet Exchange (IX) Transit. Sometimes called bilateral peering, this is an agreement between two ISPs for the exchange of data and traffic over a shared fabric—enabling the ability to implement new technologies like IPv6.
By distributing servers closer to the subscriber, the delivery of web content is sped up. This is a content delivery network (CDN). When a new update is released on a device, the updates are quicker. Caching continues to bring data deeper in the network, so a web-enabled device or browser does not display latency.
If you need to optimize call routing, utilize SMS text messaging, or need higher reliability for voice, a Signaling System 7 (SS7) network protocol is a critical piece of your telecom infrastructure. With SS7, a service provider can enable advanced features and controls to enhance routing and billing.
SIP trunks use an internet connection to carry voice traffic for your business, instead of using a traditional phone line. This allows you scale, be agile, save on costs, register a local number to an existing VoIP system, and redirect calls during a disaster recovery event.
Send communications to a secure, cloud-based data center with a single internet connection rather than implementing a local interconnect. Experience a better quality of service, low latency, and flexibility of control and management. There are minimal setup costs with cloud PBX, no maintenance, and more storage and mobile solutions.
This is where you receive the services provided to your subscribers. Ensuring the content delivery process has low latency to optimize the subscriber experience is highly important, whether the subscriber is using on-net or off-net services.
Media and entertainment technologies, products, and services with ready-to-distribute content for service providers to offer their subscribers. IPTV drives video-on-demand (VoD) over-the-top (OTT) services needed to grow your subscriber base. For cross-platform content delivery, VoD processing is mitigated, and storage is optimized with the ability to handle new services as they evolve.
A private, direct cloud connection provides security without limitations. It is more reliable than a standard internet connection with up to 400 Gbps and beyond, optimal performance, and reliability. Direct connects to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. provide better performance and speed. In most cases, you will have a service-level agreement, 24/7 NOC coverage, and access to call center services.
The data center interconnect is a high throughput, high availability, and low latency interconnect between data centers. Simply put, DCI connects data centers together. It is important to have a service-level agreement around your DCI.
The signal and management functions within a network-to-network interface allow two or more networks to communicate. Implementation of NNI processes will vary and different modes apply to different scenarios. An NNI circuit interconnects signaling, Internet Protocol, or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks.
Protect your residential connections from volumetric attacks with DDoS mitigation. A DDoS attack targets tens of thousands—even millions—of connect devices block-by-block. Mitigation must be agile and quick to stop malicious, high-volume traffic.
As the metaverse emerges into the mainstream, the promise is high bandwidth, high capacity, and ultra-low latency with direct connect options. But to power a fully immersive experience, the physical infrastructure will require intelligence and scale.
To exist wirelessly, the metaverse will come to rely on 6G fiber-based technologies with hyper-security response measures to protect privacy and data. To enable those speeds, automation and computer and storage capacities will be paramount.
An OAN levels the playing field by allowing multiple internet service providers to share one physical network. This results in subscribers receiving better service offers, competitive rates, and enhancing their subscriber experience.
