By improving network productivity, reducing costs and enabling integrated service offerings, Sorrento's infrastructure and broadband access products create business and operational value for their customers.
The increasing importance of communications services
to end users has driven growth in network capacity requirements
and the expansion of high-bandwidth applications and services.
The broader mix of high-volume high-quality traffic related to
these applications is driving a transition from legacy network
infrastructures – typically consisting of multiple, disparate networks –
to more efficient, simplified, network architectures.
Service providers are seeking network infrastructures better suited to handle higher bandwidth, multiservice traffic
with greater efficiency, performance, security and reliability, while ensuring a return on their network investment.
Sorrento's product portfolio and development efforts enable them to benefit from both increasing capacity requirements
and the transition to more efficient and economical network architectures.
