What are some ways to increase the flexibility of your telecom systems?

Infrastructure upgrade can be considered as two types: proactive and reactive. Reactive infrastructure upgrades are forced by end of life hardware, discontinued support from vendor, incompatibility with necessary upgrades, etc. Proactive infrastructure upgrades are aiming at improving performance, security, efficiency even when the system is running properly.

In my experience, increasing telecom system flexibility is paramount for staying competitive and meeting the dynamic needs of customers, starting with the foundational layer of infrastructure. >> Upgrading to more adaptable and scalable infrastructure, such as software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), allows for quicker adjustments to network capacity and functionality. >>The adoption of new technologies plays a critical role. Specifically, leveraging AI and cloud technologies, including transitioning to cloud-native architectures, transforms telecom systems into more agile, intelligent, and efficient networks.

We call reactive upgrade an E71 form. You fill out the information call the number give them the information and it's magical, just goes away and you never hear about it again.

Dans l'optique d'une évolution et donc d'un rendement plus efficace d'une infrastructure, je recommanderai de par mon expérience tout d'abord de mettre en place une excellente documentation technique pour un meilleur suivi. Avant de parler de mise à niveau technologique, il est important de bien structurer l'infrastructure et ce à tous les niveaux. Bon nombres de sites techniques dans notre pays souffrent de ce défaut criard. Conséquence, il est difficile d'implémenter des Plan de Reprise Informatique (PRI) ou PRA, ou Plan de Reprise d'Activité. En conclusion une meilleur structuration à la base permet un fonctionnement plus serein.

That is absolutely right . Go on proactive search for you IT-Infrastucture. Most companies wait until it′s too late. In that case they rush their decision on this topic.

Flexibility can also be considered as a consumption experience. Enabling software defined infrastructure is a process towards building a cloud-like experience. With proper automation and orchestration, resource request and provisioning can be as simple as a few clicks.

Ensuring you have the right people with the right skills is on the company. We called it training. You were your own trainer, figured it out for yourself, got very proficient at whatever it was then about 3 or 4 years later you would go and actually do the formal training. What you learnt in the field and what you were told in the classroom were very different things.

Meiner Erfahrung nach wollen Kunden ma?geschneiderte und optimierte L?sungen für Ihren Bedarf und nicht von der Stange kaufen. Dazu muss man aber eine sehr gute Bedarfsanalyse durchführen.

I was always tasked with conducting customer surveys, have interviews and gather insights. I didn't ask for any of the information and I didn't take much notice of any of the information but customers always seemed only to happy to give you a bunch of negative feedback and I was really good at pretending to listen.

Yes this I totally agree with. I always broke a bunch of rules if I had to to get a service going. They said the maximum distance an ADSL modem would work was no more than 5km at the absolute most. 8.5km was my record. Customer very happy, jason very happy to say I told yas I could get it working, and jason still very happy to remind my workmates that said I was wasting my time.

I would like to add that I really enjoyed my first 5 or 6 years at telstra. We had a big truck with a ditcher or dozer on it and we went bush and ploughed in new cable. Caught a trout around lunch time had a feed then maybe a nap and always got our job done well.
