Explore expert insights on the future of network design, optimization, and sustainability. Our blogs are written for network planners, architects, and CTOs looking to stay ahead of key trends in AI-driven planning, multi-layer optimization, and sustainable infrastructure strategies.
1️⃣ The Hidden Cost of Margin Stacking in IP/Optical Networks
This article explores how redundant capacity margins are unintentionally built into both the IP/MPLS and optical layers, leading to overprovisioned networks and higher costs. It outlines how margin stacking occurs and what can be done to coordinate resiliency between layers more efficiently.
2️⃣ Probabilistic Traffic Modeling: Moving Beyond Static Forecasts
Traditional traffic forecasts assume a single, static projection—often leading to either overbuilding or unexpected congestion. This blog explains how probabilistic models embrace uncertainty, allowing networks to be designed more efficiently using confidence-based planning.
3️⃣ From Whiteboard to AI: The Future of Network Planning Tools
This blog traces the evolution of network design from manual methods to intelligent, AI-powered tools. It discusses how AI, digital twins, and multi-layer optimization are reshaping how telecom networks are planned and built—with major gains in agility, accuracy, and cost-efficiency.
4️⃣ Sustainable Network Planning: Reducing Power and Carbon Footprint
Sustainability is no longer optional. This article explores how power consumption and carbon footprint can be treated as constraints or optimization targets during network planning. It explains how smart tools can help reduce emissions, lower energy use, and support ESG goals.
