end-to-end quality of service.
Business Challenge
GO plc, Malta’s first quadruple play operator, is a truly converged
and integrated telecommunications company, offering fixed-line and
mobile telephony, broadband Internet services, digital and IP
television, and business-related services for roaming hubs, data
networking, business IP, and managed and colocation facilities. A
mobile-market leader since 2000, GO wanted to upgrade its mobile
access network throughout the Maltese islands, replacing its legacy
2G and 3G systems with a high-capacity mobile network capable of
meeting the growing mobile broadband needs of the local market.
The tremendous influx of smartphones and high-end devices requiring increased bandwidth capacity and higher
data speeds drove GO’s legacy infrastructure, the radio access network (RAN) backhaul, to approach the limits of
its functionality. Moreover, GO’s existing mobile backhaul network management tools lacked the features
necessary to help ensure the quality of service expected by GO’s customers.
GO opted to build a new IP RAN that would provide high-speed access within a highly available design, and to
accomplish this, the company needed the right platform to manage and monitor the new network elements.
Solution and Results
GO selected Cisco Prime
™
Network, which provides fault, device image, and inventory management; reporting;
and configuration archiving for the IP elements of the IP RAN network.
In selecting Cisco, GO carefully analyzed the lifetime operating costs of its infrastructure and the risks related to its
choice of vendors. Cisco Advanced Services demonstrated how Cisco
®
Prime Network, as part of a network-build
strategy, could help GO reduce IP network operating costs and risks.
