Many retail service providers, such as mobile operators, MVNOs, and cable broadband providers, rely heavily on wholesale carriers to transport and terminate their customers’ international calls.
Our recently updated TeleGeography Report and Database provides new voice traffic data and analysis—including trends in wholesale prices and revenues.
I think you know where we're going with this.
Let's talk data.
Look out, WAN world.
TeleGeography's WAN Manager Survey now includes data collected throughout 2021.
Like in all previous versions, we asked questions about how networks are currently configured—and found that enterprise companies are increasingly embracing hybrid networks.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty.
Not so long ago, tuning out a cacophony of ever-ringing desk phones was just part of the job for many office workers.
These days, that's no longer the norm. And it has nothing to do with the rise of wireless earbuds.
DIA has emerged as the first choice alternative product to MPLS in the hybrid WAN. And for good reason.
Our new voice data is here. And it has a story to tell.
The latest refresh to our TeleGeography Report and Database has revealed that international call traffic declined by 7% in 2020. The downhill trend continues from 2015 after just a slight increase in 2020 at the start of the pandemic.
In December, Greece's OTE Group announced a major broadband investment plan. The group revealed that its domestic telco unit Cosmote would be pumping €3 billion ($3.4 billion) into the expansion of its infrastructure between 2022 and 2027.
The investment was backed by OTE Group’s controlling shareholder Deutsche Telekom.
Many of us are still trying to decide whether 2021 felt like ten years or six months, but there is no doubt that aspects of it were extensions of 2020.
This was no exception in the WAN world, where we saw many trends continue, such as SD-WAN rollouts, expansion of local internet breakouts, and most enterprises continuing to have a large portion of workers staying home and connecting remotely.
My colleague Elizabeth Thorne and I had a great conversation about key corporate network trends at the end of the year—now it's time to dive into the hard data.
Hello, readers. Miami in January sounds pretty good, no?
With that in mind, it's time for your annual reminder that Metro Connect is nearing. The infrastructure-focused event is back in Miami January 30-February 2, 2022.
Next week our own Alan Mauldin is teaming up with Ciena's Brian Lavallée for a live presentation and discussion on satellites and sub cables.
You know how it works. We'll bring the data, you bring the questions. (And we'll all probably end up learning something new.)
Business broadband is no longer a connection of last resort. In fact, it is an integral part of WAN architecture.
Unlike pricey network connectivity services like MPLS and DIA, business broadband is a cost-effective option for enterprises that push more traffic to the public internet and utilize SaaS applications.
