ADC PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADC Preconfigured Equipment Solutions for Successful Network Deployments Improve reliability Improve development cycles Reduce risk Lower costs PRECONFIGURED EQUPIMENT Given the highly competitive nature of the telecommunications industry and customer demands for reliable voice and fast data connections, having the most efficient network possible is essential. For most operators, new network technologies hold the promise of improving service delivery and reducing costs. Deploying new technologies and massive network upgrades often demand large-scale, repeatable solutions that are custom-tailored to meet an operator’s specific network requirements. These deployments require working with multiple vendors to ensure the compatibility of all the components. They can create a tremendous amount of supply-chain and logistical complexities, especially with numerous vendors and deployment sites. And last-minute glitches, such as damaged or missing components, are dramatically compounded and painfully expensive. ADC customers are simplifying the entire deployment process by using our preconfigured equipment solutions. Instead of risking delays due to field integration issues, escalating costs due to supply-chain management issues, and missing customer deployment dates, operators choose ADC. We provide preconfigured custom-built solutions that are assembled in controlled and secured environments and fully tested before being shipped for field deployment. From a single rack or cabinet configuration to a fully loaded equipment shelter, ADC designs and builds customized solutions incorporating any type of equipment. We install equipment from more than 60 vendors to build multivendor, multitechnology, multiservice solutions for all types of network deployments, including: • Simultaneous multicity rollouts • New technology introductions, such as digital subscriber lines, next-generation wireless, Voice over Internet Protocol and video on demand • Major network upgrades • Multiple equipment configurations As a single-source provider, ADC works with its customers to develop a detailed design to meet their specific network requirements, and a detailed bill of materials to ensure that the right materials are used. We then build preconfigured equipment solutions in a controlled manufacturing environment and ensure these are fully tested before being shipped for deployment. We also offer field installation, commissioning and integration to speed the entire deployment process. ADC uses a proven process for easy field deployments that includes: • A detailed definition of our customer’s requirements • Equipment and component specifications • Detailed equipment and assembly design • Material acquisition • Equipment assembly • Testing • Customer acceptance • Packaging • Logistics ADC’s preconfigured equipment solution offers our customers: • A single point of contact for network deployments, regardless of size or scope • One order and one invoice for all major and minor materials • Reduced network equipment variability • Far fewer field deployment issues and site disruptions • Faster deployment cycles • Lower costs PRECONFIGURED EQUIPMENT ADC Telecommunications, Inc., P.O.
