-
Reduce upfront capital
The Flexible Consumption Model offers a built-in "pay-as-you-grow" structure that lowers initial start-up costs with the ability to add more capacity overtime as needed. SIA feature upgrade PIDs help defer payment of software value for the initial purchase, while also reducing the payment for a next-gen hardware purchase with portability.
-
Simplify operations
Two software suites simplify license management while still providing the carrier-class IOS-XR Software feature set.
-
Utilize capital efficiently
Software Right-To-Use (RTU) license pooling allows any Flexible Consumption Model node in the network to claim and use available licenses, making it easy to add capacity to the network. This solution eliminates "stranded capacity" as a customer can use any available capacity wherever needed in the Flexible Consumption Model network.
-
Protect your investment
Software RTU portability provides investment protection to move to next-generation hardware when a customer is ready.
