IP Network & Service Migration: Benchmarking Telco Progress
Vol. 10 No. 3, April 2012
The migration of fixed/mobile network and service platforms to all-IP is now inevitable, but it remains a complex, multifaceted task. So how do operators measure and benchmark progress, and what should they include in that measurement exercise? To answer these questions, Heavy Reading created the Carrier IP Migration Index (CIMIX), a leading-edge technology- and vendor-agnostic market model that can be used to calculate a numeric value of a carrier's IP readiness and sophistication. To test our index, we then asked operators in a major survey to rank the importance of each indicator and evaluate their own progress in each area.
