STOCKHOLM -- Transmode, a global supplier of packet-optical networking solutions, today announced the launch of its Pre-Staging service that is designed to help service providers deploy new networks quickly and more efficiently. The service reduces on-site time, simplifies logistics and ensures quality by building, patching and configuring chassis in a controlled environment prior to shipping to site.
Transmode has previously custom-built networks remotely for some clients but the company is now offering the new Pre-Staging service to all customers. The service facilitates a network roll-out by pre-building, pre-configuring and testing the exact network configuration in Transmode's facilities before shipping to the customer's premises.
Dan Rydberg, the company's Vice President Operations and Customer Service commented, "We are seeing a trend that more and more of our customers asking to deploy their network equipment using a Pre-Staging service. The Pre-Staging service will help our customers reduce network deployment time and speed up time to revenue. Specifically it will reduce on-site time by up to 50% compared to deployments that have not been pre-staged.
"Our pre-staging team performs the service in a controlled five step process that can be selected by our customers. We help define requirements, pre-build exact hardware configuration, configure software and test completed network, all before being clearly labelled and shipped to site. To meet customer specific requirements, the Pre-Staging service can be tailor made and delivered with combinations of these steps.
Transmode's Pre-Staging service utilizes standard project management tools, ensuring a structured and repeatable process.
