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.

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.

Multi Play Service as B2B2C Business is Fastest and Least Cost Strategy to Reach Millions of Homes and SMBs | www.glgroup.com
1. World over, countries are planning for quick true broad band penetration over future proof, technology agnostic and low cost infrastructure. 2. It is not possible either government or telcos or both to achieve the desired broad band penetration in the country as laid down in the yearly plans. 3. High broad band penetration is key to drive up the GDP growth even by 2 % in some cases.

Corporatization of Cable Industry in India | www.glgroup.com
1. Even in this recession, countries are investing in telecom infrastructure as this is considered a big GDP driver. However, most telcos in developing countries are rolling out mobile wireless network predominantly for voice. 2. Cable TV is growing steadily even in developing countries, eg, India has more than 100 million HFC homes. However, 98 % of cable homes still continue to be served analog TV by the Local Cable Operators (LCOs) who usually take the TV feed from MSOs. 3. For enhancing GDP growth, countries need to ensure that basic services like health, education, agri and weather information, governance, quick and cost effective trade, commerce and payment services are available at affordable costs. A multi play service of voice, broad band Internet, two way interactive TV and VoD can be created by combining the strengths of telcos and LCOs/MSOs over which all the GDP driving services would be available to millions of HFC TV homes.

Is Enron Saga Entering The Final Chapter | news.glgroup.com
1. Affordable medical and health care services should be available to all citizens of a country as their fundamental right. 2. Shortage of hospitals, qualified medical staff and specialists in hospitals forces patients to physically report to the Out Patient Deaprtments (OPDs) after seeking appointments even for basic consultation, diagnosis and treatment prescription. This results in delays, missing appointments apart from incurring heavy charges. 3. Fortunately, with rapid proliferation of basic broad band Internet, telecom, two way interactive TV and IT support based services in which all countries are investing, a versatile infrastructure is being created which can easily carry the much needed and affordable virtual health care services to the patients sitting in the comfort of their homes.

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) | news.glgroup.com
There are approximately four billion mobile subscribers in the world being served through more than 4 million base stations. For this, the telecom networks and data centers remain powered up for 24 hours a day. With very low tele density in the emerging markets and ever increasing demand for more and better telecom services in the developed markets, in coming five to seven years, the world is likely to witness huge growth in telecom services and the subscribers. This would necessitate deployment and operation of more and more telecom and data center infrastructure. Combined together, telecom networks and data centers utilize around 4 % of total world energy consumption. Thus, the energy cost will mount further and so would be the carbon emission levels. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift in the operations of telecom networks and data center servers in differentiated capacity configurations, one for peak hours and the other for lean hours load.

Report: North America now leads on data ARPU | www.fiercemobilecontent.com
Countries need health, education, governance, entertainment services etc for their millions of people, particularly in semi urban and rural areas. Thus, to meet this never ending demand, there is a need for creating a self expanding framework of multi play infrastructure through which these essential services can be e-delivered to end users wherever they require in the language of their own choosing. To achieve the above, a telco/MSO can assume a pivotal role of creating a robust central network, back end and distribution infrastructure around which the origination, carriage and termination of these services can be realized by the adoption of B2B2C business model created on partnerships basis duly governed by legal agreements and fully supported by simple and minimum Govt regulations. The telco/MSO thus creates its own brand of multi play service and promotes the same to the target market segments largely dominated by the home segment.
