Utilizing Next-Generation Networks
D&E was founded in 1911 as a rural telephone company. We later grew to become a regional integrated communications provider, and we stand today as a leader in communication and technology solutions. Throughout our history, we’ve expanded our service offerings by leveraging new technologies to enhance our network architecture. One example of this evolution is D&E’s use of Next-Generation Networks.
Next-Generation Networks (NGN) is a broad term to describe the integration of the public switch telephone network (voice) and data network (Internet). NGN provides a single network model for the convergence of applications and services. This single network model significantly reduces the cost of running and maintaining separate voice, data, and Internet services networks. Additional advantages of NGN include a higher degree of transport flexibility and the use of open standards-based architectures.
“A variety of D&E services are currently tied to our Next-Generation Networks,” says Chuck Schneider, Senior Product Manager. “Our Transparent LAN Service (TLS), Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), and IP VPN leverage D&E’s NGN to deliver voice, data, and Internet services.” Your business can improve efficiency and productivity by building a solution from D&E’s portfolio of advanced services:
