Operators are planning to move to next-generation networks (NGN) but need to continue to support legacy services such as Frame Relay, X.25, leased line, and ISDN.

Virtual Access products solve this problem of legacy support by allowing for the transport of legacy services over next-generation networks with DSL and fibre access, making it possible for operators to continue providing legacy services while moving to a next generation architecture.

Service providers are concerned about the costs and risks associated with NGN migration. The Virtual Access NGN migration solution addresses these challenges by offering a centrally-managed solution that takes responsibility for service delivery without the need for site visits.

Automated Zero Touch provisioning gives the service provider a fast-track to market without the costs and risks normally associated with the introduction of new services. Migrating legacy subscriber information can be costly and error prone, but the Activator operational support system (OSS) module provides an automated method of migrating legacy subscriber information, which simplifies subscriber data migration.
