Triple PlayDelivering the complete IP video, voice and HSIA bundle
ApplicationImplementing Triple Play services has become a competitive necessity for service providers. Bundling video, voice and HSIA services increases revenue and retains customers. Triple play creates service tiers that incorporate value-added services and features, resulting in long term growth opportunities. Games, personal TV, and personal hosting are just a few of the applications that Triple Play offers. At its inception, triple play was defined as adding video (IPTV) and broadband HSIA to an existing POTS service using DSL. The conversion to Ethernet networks and services on a global scale has re-defined triple play as a bundled, multi-media service over IP. Delivering IPTV, VOD, VoIP and HSIA over IP requires an access platform capable of supporting all services over copper or fiber that include a full range of IP-based Quality of Service (QoS) features on a subscriber-by-subscriber basis, as well as across the network. Migrating from IP video and data overlay to existing POTS to a fully integrated IP services triple play bundle begins with access. At the core of Triple Play is service management. Having a complete Element Management and QoS system for converged IP triple play assures commercial viability. Solution: MALC and ZMSMALC is a full service triple play access platform that can simultaneously deliver IPTV, VoIP, POTS and HSIA on copper or fiber media. MALC is an intelligent broadband IP access system designed for Triple Play, with the highest density and built-in features on the market. MALC is an intelligent, full service Broadband Loop carrier (BLC) with added IP functionality specifically intended for Triple Play.
The MALC, along with Zhones other access and transport solutions, is supported by a common management system. The Zhone Management System (ZMS) is a GUI-based EMS. ZMS manages the OSMINE-certified devices, providing service providers with all the fault, configuration, accounting, provisioning and security (FCAPS) features required for a manageable and reliable Triple Play service offering. It automates a number of complex, tedious, and error-prone tasks, thereby raising productivity, improving accuracy and reducing operational costs. Since MALC is a multi-service, mulit-media IP access platform, ZMS enables service providers to go beyond basic element management and use a variety of powerful QoS tools for prioritizing traffic, classifying traffic, performing rate shaping and limiting, as well as monitoring performance. MALC also has the IP functionality built-in and required to deliver converged IP Triple Play services. With MALC, service control moves closer to the subscriber, instead of farther back in the network. Features
Zhone Value Proposition and BenefitsIntegrating all video, voice and data services on a single platform using copper or fiber reduces electronics in the loop network and therefore lowers capital costs. Delivering bundled triple play services from the MALC over IP provides greater operational efficiency. Integrating all services and subscriber lines onto a single access and management platform reduces manpower and complexity. And finally, bundled triple play from the MALC enables implementation of enhanced value-added revenue services. |
