Are you struggling with the slow, tedious, siloed process of end-to-end service provisioning and assurance of wave services across a multi-vendor optical network, due to swivel-chair between vendor-specific management systems, and manual ‘stitching’ of connectivity between technology domains? Is the resulting complexity leading to slow time-to-market, lower quality of experience for your customers, higher operational costs, and ultimately reduced competitiveness for you?
The Blue Planet® Wave Services provides full service lifecycle automation that lets CSPs activate and assure optical wave services from end-to-end across multi-vendor networks, with speed and efficiency at scale.
