Think Telecommunication first
►Surround yourself with the best telecommunication resources you
can find. This will facilitate bringing your field equipment toward your
next generation of TCS and migrated easily to a fully regional
integrated ATMS.
►The key element is to make the ties between the analog and digital
while using telecommunication protocols and standards.
►Your goal is to define your requirements by thinking about the
Engineering, Supply & Installation of a shared telecommunication
network.
