RE: The CRS-1 Carrier Routing System

As the expectations of telecommunications consumers become more demanding and sophisticated, service providers must constantly anticipate an insistence on increased usability, reliability, and flexibility. They must find a means of implementing and delivering new services efficiently and without interruption, in a way that is cost-effective both for them and their customers. The trend of the past – of employing multiple networks for differing applications – now presents challenges for service providers, because multiple networks require separate operations, management, administration, and provisioning infrastructures. This makes service integration difficult both technically and operationally.

Now, however, service providers like <Customer Name> have the option of infrastructure convergence: the employment of a single, converged Internal Protocol network that can support a variety of services and digital media while giving unprecedented efficiency, scalability, and longevity.

The CRS-1 Carrier Routing System is essentially a core large-scale router that will enable <Customer Name> to support growing bandwidth requirements and install a converged network which, through its inherent simplicity and modular design, grants increased scalability and flexibility at a more cost-effective rate.
