New iconectiv use case highlights how streamlined ordering, interconnection and billing can light up wholesale fiber revenues and ROI
As service providers roll out 5G and densify their networks, they are increasingly relinquishing end-to-end ownership and control of their networks by outsourcing links to wholesale fiber providers. A new iconectiv use case explains how wholesale fiber companies can streamline and simplify their interactions with their service provider customers to secure greater market share.
Service providers use an industry-standard common language to log and describe their networks.
