Network and Tower Operations Center (NTOC) – An Optimizer for Network Opex
November 19, 2009
The Operations of Telecom Networks and Data Centers Need a Paradigm Shift to Become Green, Reduce Global Warming and Optimize Total Cost of Operations (TCO) | councils.glgroup.com
Telecom network operations are most opex intensive. Some innovative steps taken to optimize these costs are to share network infrastructure between multiple operators and managed services of network operations. However, with the emergence of tower companies who create and maintain the passive infrastructure in which even active network elements reside, there is a possibility of achieving greater synergy for the NOC and field operations thereby further reducing the costs.

Airtel is Quietly Acquiring Triple Play Customers in NCR Against No Competition
August 19, 2009
MSOs are Better Positioned than Telcos to Launch Multi Play in India | news.glgroup.com
Telcos and MSOs in India watch out. Airtel has launched triple play in NCR region around Delhi. Airtel is reaping the fruits of clear thinking, hard work, capex commitment and managing all odds against the tough stance of most Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) for laying ADSL copper to homes in their colonies. It is a wake up call for all other telcos and MSOs in case they do not want to give free run to Airtel in fixed triple play market.

Multi Play - Band Width Bonanza for Telcos/MSOs on High Capacity High Speed Coaxial CATV Access Network to Homes and SMBs | news.glgroup.com
1. Telcos/CMSPs must watch out as good MSOs are poised better to take away their market share of broad band, voice and IP TV. 2. Telcos/CMSPs are way ahead in their back end, core and edge network infrastructure as also OSS/BSS/CRM/Contact Center but they lack last mile. They also have no experience of managing Local Cable Operators (LCOs) who have band width bonanza reaching homes through their last mile HFC network, very aggressively exploited by good MSOs for analog and digital TV.

Realization and Operations of Multi Play - Innovative Way to Realize and Operate High Capacity High Speed Access Network | news.glgroup.com
1. Telcos and MSOs in India are poised to exploit the band width bonanza of LCOs last mile co-axial CATV network to homes and SMBs. 2. From the optical node of LCOs HFC access network, on an average 300 homes are passed. In some cases, the number of homes passed goes beyond 600. 3. As there is a very high penetration of CATV in India, thus for 100 % homes connected to one optical node, both down stream and up stream band width is really huge. This band width bonanza is very attractive for telcos and MSOs to interconnect their networks to LCOs access network to offer multi play to homes and SMBs.

Multi Play Virtual Network Operators (MPVNOs) Are Getting Ready to Rapidly Increase Broad Band Penetration in India | www.glgroup.com
1. Emerging markets can neither afford the massive capital outlay nor wait to lose precious time in the realization of the access network. 2. Countries in the emerging markets need multi play infrastructure and services as quickly as possible. This would speedily pave the way for the GDP growth driving applications and services to conveniently ride over the base level multi play infrastructure and services. 3. There is a need to be innovative and cost effective to realize the standards based access network well supported by the regulatory frame work without losing time to market. 4. Such multiple access networks would be interconnected with a few rock solid, high capacity, high speed core and edge networks of a few, typically six to eight, established national telcos or CMSPs to realize a single high capacity, high speed network pipe entering into home and business premises. This is the fifth pipe in addition to four utility pipes for water, electricity, sewerage and gas.
