Tá 4.5 Milliún Ciorcad Copar tiontaithe go Snáithín ag Verizon

De réir Verizon, tá an t-aistriú ó bhonneagar copair go snáithín ag sábháil na milliúin dollar in aghaidh na bliana ar an gcuideachta agus deir sé go bhfuiltear ag súil go dtiocfaidh méadú ar na buntáistí agus é ag imirce níos mó custaiméirí agus oifigí lárnacha.

Verizon has already upgraded 4.5 million lines on its network from copper to fibre. It has also converted 36 of its central office locations to all-fibre, completely decommissioning the copper plants at those locations. The upgrade programme has resulted in operational cost savings of approximately 180 million. "Part of the savings are due to a reduction in the number of technicians dispatched to maintain the network and support customers. In addition, energy savings have been seen from converting copper to fibre," said the savings figure, which is expected to "continue to grow as we convert more customers and more COs".

Is cosúil go bhfuil Verizon ag pleanáil dul chun cinn a dhéanamh ar thaobh an chustaiméara i mbliana. Mhéadaigh an t-oibreoir líon na n-ionad díolachán oscailte Fios faoi 481,000 in 2021 go 16.5 milliún faoi dheireadh na bliana. Tá pleananna i bhfeidhm chun 550 suíomh díolacháin oscailte eile,000 Fios a chur leis in 2022.

"Fibre to new locations is critical both inside and outside the footprint. But upgrading existing copper plants to space-occupying fibre is also very important to Verizon,".

Is é an sprioc deiridh ná 18 milliún teach ar díol agus 8 milliún síntiúsóir idirlín a bheith ar Fios faoi dheireadh na bliana 2025.

The company's chief technology officer also touted the benefits of having its own fibre for its wireless network, noting that its OneFiber program aims to expand its infrastructure in its LEC footprint and in 69 markets outside the region. verizon generates about 300 million a year from the owner economy. By the end of 2021, 45 per cent of Verizon's cellular base stations will be connected to its fibre assets, up from 36 per cent the previous year. That number is expected to increase to 50 percent by 2022.

"Owning and operating our fibre-to-the-cell allows us to easily and cost-effectively expand transmission and improve our reliability. As data usage grows, it becomes more cost effective to own our own fibre," he said. "Competitors who lease most of their fibre will bear increasingly higher costs in the future."
