By integrating edge routing, Ethernet aggregation, and subscriber management into a single, scalable platform, the SmartEdge Multi-Service Edge Router (MSER) allows service providers to deliver video, voice, and data services on a single, converged broadband network.  The innovative, purpose-built SmartEdge platform also reduces capital and operational expenses by reducing the number of network elements and simplifying the network architecture.

Yankee Group analyzed the total cost of ownership of building a multi-play network and uncovered that integrating edge routing, Ethernet aggregation, and subscriber management yields measurable TCO advantages. The highlights of the study are:

• Total TCO Advantage: 22%
• Capital Expenditure: 20.9%
• Operational Expenditure: 52.6%
