Secures operational excellence and continuity
while driving down operational costs
PLANO, Texas, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribbon
Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real
time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions
to many of the world's largest service providers, enterprises, and
critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their
networks, along with Brightspeed, an internet service
provider and the nation's fourth largest fiber builder, today
announced that Ribbon's solutions are helping modernize
Brightspeed's network infrastructure while maintaining
uninterrupted services for existing customers.
"Building a fiber broadband network across more than 160
communities in our footprint requires an investment in ensuring we
can accelerate scalability," said Brightspeed Chief Technology
Officer Brian Bond. "Ribbon's
advanced solutions enable us to efficiently manage and upgrade our
legacy assets with next-generation innovation to gain the
operational efficiencies, flexibility and capabilities that
facilitate our network transformation."
Brightspeed is leveraging a suite of Ribbon solutions including
the C20 Call Controller, Application Server, SBC,
PSX centralized policy and routing server, and Ribbon
Application Management Platform (RAMP) to modernize its legacy
central office equipment and lay the foundation for further
innovation. Additionally, Ribbon's NPT 1250 multi-service access
routing platform, part of Ribbon's comprehensive Neptune IP Routing
portfolio, enables technology convergence for the service
provider's legacy assets.
Ribbon's network transformation solution helps enable
Brightspeed to seamlessly replace decades-old rooms full of
power-hungry legacy equipment, while its top tier professional
services make the deployment transparent to both Brightspeed
customers and regulatory bodies. Once operational, the new solution
will use a fraction of the power, HVAC and real estate of the
previous infrastructure while offering new capabilities, assuring
the long-term reliability of Brightspeed's network without
impacting Brightspeed's operational or billing systems.
"Brightspeed is setting the bar for how independent service
providers can operate and compete in today's telecommunications
landscape," said Sam Bucci, Chief
Operating Officer and EVP, Ribbon. "Their blazing fast voicemail
transition illustrates their ability to quickly drive cost out of
their infrastructure while ensuring their customers have access to
critical functionality. We look forward to being a part of their
ongoing network transformation success."
