The IP
Transition
Saves the
Carriers
T
he IP transition has been discussed
at length, stimulated by the FCC, and
pushed by the carriers. What has not been
discussed are the savings that will accrue to the
carriers after the IP transition begins. These are
the savings that will be the result of reducing the
number central offices (CO) in the U.S. by 85%.
The carriers will save on real estate and operating
costs. Their OPEX will decrease.
At the recent Genband Perspectives 14
conference, this was one of the topics presented
by David Walsh, President, and Chief Executive
Officer of Genband.
A paper was provided to the attendees at the
conference, “The Unsustainable Power Costs
Behind one of the Oldest Public Utilities.” The
theme of the paper is “The power consumption
and cooling costs of one of the oldest public
utilities in the world - the public switched
telephone network (PSTN) – are skyrocketing.
Better known as plain old telephone service
(POTS), the PSTN is used by 60 percent of
the residential population and almost all US
businesses.”
Legacy PSTN OPEX is High
The carriers continue to maintain the PSTN.
The PSTN contains equipment that requires
significant power and real estate to operate. The
annual power requirements of the legacy COs
are about 12 billion kWh per year in the U.S.
This annual power consumption can power
about 1 million homes. The carrier’s annual expected power savings is about $1.3 billion by
transitioning to the IP CO network.
The real estate to support the legacy switches
is also huge. The paper estimates that eliminating
the legacy COs will save up to 10,000 square feet
of space per CO. The total U.S. space saved can be
as high 300 million square feet.
