Is the emergence of the softswitch solution a new hope for man?

Man development and business　

According to the current situation, both the old and new operators have accelerated the construction of the data network platform. The construction of metropolitan networks characterized by Optical Fiber + Ethernet technology has emerged in China on a large scale, it provides users with a wealth of Bandwidth Resources. However, man networks that lack strong business support cannot bring profits and investment recovery difficulties to operators. On the other hand, the lack of basic user services makes it difficult for users to integrate broadband into their daily lives.

As a business solution, the emergence of softswitch undoubtedly brings vitality to the current dilemma faced by man. The business provision of broadband MAN should adopt a pragmatic attitude, develop services that meet the needs of current users at different stages, so that operators can get a good return on investment.

Broadband man business implementation strategy

Relying on the four-way and eight-way broadband man in the city, operators only need to configure network devices including Softswitch control devices, application servers, media gateways, and signaling gateways on the core nodes of the man, you can configure different access devices on the network edge to flexibly provide local VoIP services. The capacity of network devices and the layout of access devices can be flexibly selected based on the actual user scale to reduce the investment risks caused by excessive one-time investment costs.

Because of the emergence of the softswitch solution, even basic telephone services, users and operators have various options. For example, for new residential buildings, developers only need one (man) wiring to provide comprehensive voice and data services for users. In addition, operators do not have to resize existing switches, you can use the softswitch solution to divert new users.

It should be particularly noted that the speech solution of Softswitch is by no means a simple replication of traditional fixed-line services. For users, in addition to the benefits of charges, it also provides features unique to the IP network, such as customizing service attributes by using Web pages, choose personalized phone ringtones, service quality levels, and call permissions for the phone. In addition, the softswitch solution also provides IP value-added services such as click dialing, click fax, and Web 800, which are not provided by traditional fixed-line telephones.

For multimedia services, although the man currently provides video-on-demand, remote teaching, remote medical and other multimedia services. However, compared with the softswitch solution, the service function is relatively simple, and it cannot provide real audio and video real-time hybrid, interactive, and multi-party multimedia services, such as multimedia conference and television. Therefore, the provision of complex multimedia services on the broadband MAN also depends on the implementation of the softswitch solution. Considering the current market development, the time for providing large-scale multimedia services is not mature, and the multimedia services have high requirements on terminals. At this stage, we can target group customers and high-end users, multimedia Conference TV and video phone are provided respectively. On the one hand, it occupies the high-end market, improves service quality and brand, and on the other hand, it also plays a very good role in demonstrating the market. When the time is ripe, we can expand the multimedia business on a large scale.

One of the major advantages of the softswitch solution is the diversity of access methods, flexible networking, and good scalability. Users can flexibly configure according to their actual needs, this undoubtedly adds more operability to the current broadband man business. In short, broadband entry does not mean the broadband and informatization of life. Only by relying on the strong business support of the softswitch solution can the broadband man be truly active and vivid, and enter the lives of thousands of households. The Softswitch solution is the source of man vitality.
