Be
Connected is a start-up owned by
Telrad Networks Ltd. and by Cisco Systems
Inc. Be
Connected is a player in the arena
of Next Generation Access systems for wireline
communication. It offers its Integrated
Multiservice Access Platform-TAS to Telecom
Operators. The TAS is an optimal solution
for providing broadband and narrowband services
to business and residential end users. It
incorporates the functionality of a MultiService
DSLAM, a DLC and an SDH ADM into one universal
shelf. Be
Connected’s TAS offers operators
un-matched flexibility and network simplicity.
For example: TAS allows plugging in ADSL,
G.SHDSL, VDSL, POTS (analog telephony) and
ISDN service cards with no engineering restrictions.
This lowers dramatically the operator’s
risk of inaccurate plan of demand for different
types of services in different serving areas. Be
Connected has implemented within
the TAS the most sophisticated technology
to allow for optimized use of bandwidth.
Due to this capability operators can connect
each site to give more services using less
bandwidth. The ingenuity of the design of
the Be Connected TAS, with its flexibility
and optimized use of the bandwidth may result
in savings of millions of dollars on transmission
costs and operational expenses (OPEX). Be
Connected has developed financial
models that show the great savings to operators,
and it offers these to potential customers.
Working with initial customers on these
models has shown them ROI of less than one
year.
