Time-division multiplexing (TDM)
Migrate to a more robust network
Seamless transitions to deliver existing legacy and next-gen services on advanced routing and switching platforms
The challenge
Native TDM networks are becoming obsolete, operationally expensive, difficult to maintain, power- and space-inefficient, and unable to handle traffic efficiently.
Our approach
Our solution addresses the growing need to maintain profitable delivery of TDM services while future-proofing investments toward network transformation. Remove aging equipment and consolidate multi-agency services to customers.
The benefits
Reduce your footprint, save power, and maintain substantial customer mission-critical private line services. Enable new IP and Carrier Ethernet services and customer TDM-to-packet service migration without replacing the platform.
