The last-mile of a Carrier’s network presents both challenge and opportunity. By enabling Carriers to fully leverage their existing copper infrastructure to deliver enhanced services alongside traditional services while reducing operating expenses, Hatteras Networks solutions address a key pain point within the Carrier network. With Hatteras Networks solutions installed, Carriers can increase the market opportunity for high-speed Ethernet services to business and institutional customers by ten fold based on the current penetration of fiber optics—an attractive value proposition in any market environment. In addtion to providing immediate revenue from Metro Ethernet customers (over existing copper facilities), Hatteras solutions are deployed for improving resiliency and delivering significantly higher bandwidth required for Mobile Wireless Backhaul, DSLAM Backhaul and WiFi and WiMAX Backhaul applications.
