SDH Lifecycle & Migration planning

Does your SDH network vendor still support the components of your network?
Do you have a clear view on the single point of failures in your network and corresponding customer impact on failure.
Can you reduce the OPEX of your SDH network by downsizing?
Can you maintain your clocking when downsizing your SDH network?

Legacy SDH and PDH networks are nowadays often over a decade old and the result of many additions and migrations. When migrating data traffic away from SDH network towards Metro Ethernet or DWDM networks and possibly reallocating the released capacity, Arcadiz Telecom brings the proper network business intelligence tools to plan the re-allocation and/or downsizing of the SDH network, while assuring redundancy and stability of the network.

Migration is often a necessity due to systems not being supported anymore by the network vendor. Arcadiz Telecom

assesses the value of the network (resources and services) on the basis of the actual network inventory;
determines the traffic pattern and matrices on the basis of the actual network traffic;
assesses whether the network protection mechanisms cope effectively with the possible failure scenarios (fiber cable cuts, node outages, ...);
determines major areas of risks and disruption in the network (e.g. in case of planned works);
assesses the filling of the network and identifies underutilized respectively saturated links;
measures network and traffic KPIs;
determines ideal level of equipment spares for given level of service;
establishes avenues for consolidation of legacy equipment into a reduced number of next generation equipment for given amount of traffic and protection requirements;
