Silver Lining for the Wholesale Voice Carriers

Silver Lining for the Wholesale Voice Carriers
Addressing Capacity Demands
Offer quality capacity and manage international communications, serving the needs of retailers, mobile network operators and global enterprises. However, like other industries, this will only be the case for those who are willing to embrace the disruption caused by the digital transformation.

Digital Services
There is an increasing demand for data, cloud and digital services. An influx of data in the network essentially means that there is a market for new fiber routes, more subsea or terrestrial cables, and better networking to cope with the increased demand. Similarly, more data flowing through the network means a more significant risk and impact in the event of network outages. Wholesale carriers must focus on building strong network infrastructure through diversity, resilience and high availability.

Diversification
Offer a range of managed data center services, co-location space and global internet connections. These capabilities are being further enhanced with support for cloud, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). If they do not evolve with the digital transformation, they will eventually become obsolete. Several major wholesale carriers are getting into partnerships to roll out new services, especially for SMEs.
