Preparing for the Future: A Three-Phased Approach to Modernizing Legacy Networks

As service providers transform their businesses to become agile and responsive and support configurable digital services, the question of network modernization is more and more urgent. Legacy networks are not only struggling to keep up with customer demands, they are increasingly difficult to maintain and costly in terms of real estate and power consumption, as well as contributing to an increased carbon footprint.

While an up-to-date, efficient network is the aspirational vision for any service provider, it’s easy to hesitate in the face of modernization’s daunting challenges and risks.

• Types of projects available for modernizing legacy networks
• The role of Circuit Emulation (CEM) in modernizing networks  
• The need for advanced tools and automation to speed the process while increasing accuracy
