Up To Speed Learns: Jeremy talks about our Intelligent Edge network.

• NGPON2: Next Generation Passive Optical Network 2 is our evolutionary technology for delivering broadband services over fiber optics.  It is the successor to our current Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) platform.
• IOF Transport Network (Unified Transport):  This is our going-forward technology used to interconnect infrastructure located in all of our network sites for a given regional area.
• Multi-Service Edge (MSE): The multi-service edge is new equipment that can support multiple services (e.g., IP as well as Ethernet) in a single device, thus eliminating the need for specialized equipment to support specific services.
• Base Network Controller (BNC): The software controller for the Intelligent Edge Network that will coordinate service provisioning and network management. The BNC also reduces multi-vendor complexity, bringing improved speed to market for new services.
• Mesh Topology: A way to interconnect network devices that provides multiple alternative paths for data to travel from source to destination, thereby providing enhanced reliability
• Modern Telemetry: Automated collection of critical real-time information from the network to improve customer service and drive operational efficiency.
