From the inception of Fastwire in 1998, a team of IP networking engineers has formed the foundation of the business, maturing over the years with experience and technology to form the Next Generation Networks team.
Today, Information Technology has become a critical component of most successful organisations and advanced IP technologies or carrier-based IP services are being considered to differentiate or reduce costs in a competitive market.
Leveraging this technology advancement may require specialised skills which can be either costly to acquire or time constraining.
The Fastwire NGN team possess a wealth of diverse skills across many technology domains; enabling them to resolve the most complex of scenarios in either Enterprise or Service Provider solutions. Fastwire can offer these services to augment existing resources or provided project-based solutions.
Our services include:
With industry transformation from a technology-driven to business and service oriented infrastructure, it is important to have a clear long term strategy for your service or network. Fastwire can provide leading experience in this area, delivering an overall end-to-end solution architecture, including:
In addition, Fastwire can make your solution vendor neutral, making sure that your service infrastructure and business is not locked to a particular vendor or proprietary protocol. We achieve this with architectures based on proven world standards, not specific products.
In the current market, choosing the right product, technology and vendor can be a challenging task. What is more important – price, technology, size or power consumption?
In reality, when picking the right solution, all of these can be equally important and vital for your business. Based on our previous experience, current market/industry requirements and deep knowledge in wide range of technologies and solutions, Fastwire can help you to transform a solution design or a generic idea to the list of high level and detailed requirements and guide you through the vendor or product selection process:
Optionally, after this process, we can recommend a specific vendor or product which will meet your immediate and future requirements.
Before transforming your idea or solution architecture into life, it is important to be confident that you’re making a right decision and the end result will deliver what you expect.
Proof of Concept testing (PoC) can bring you that confidence. Architects, designers and engineers from Fastwire can build a solution prototype and demonstrate its capabilities, so you know what may or may not happen after you implement your platform in your production environment.
There are number of situations when Fastwire’s Audit and Assessment services can be useful:
Depending on the situation and your requirements, our engineers can:
When you have solution architecture in place, and know that it will work – it is a good time to ask the question: what should I do and how to implement it?
At this stage, you need experienced engineers with in-depth practical knowledge of technologies and products that you are planning to use. Fastwire can help you at this stage as well.
Based on our broad hands-on experience, we can analyse your solution and service requirement in every detail, and:
If you have all of the above in place already, but you want an independent review - Fastwire can offer you a second opinion service, making sure that your design meets requirements in every detail and contains vendor, industry and security best practices.
Fastwire’s NGN Professional Services are not just about paperwork (solution diagrams and clouds, documentation, detailed designs, test plans, etc). We can help you to physically build your service, platform or network and make sure that it works.
Below are just a few points from our implementation plan:
To meet always changing market requirements, service/network infrastructure has to adapt to those changes as well as deliver current services that are in demand.
Those new services, features or platforms have to be deployed in the network regularly, introducing a risk to the existing services. Through intensive and careful planning, Fastwire NGN Professional Services can minimise those risks and help to integrate new services into existing infrastructure.
As part of integration, Fastwire will:
Fastwire’s broad knowledge of vendors, technologies and industry solutions will decrease time required for integration - providing faster rollout of new products and services.
In today’s highly dynamic market it is possible that your preferred vendor is not able to deliver service or technology you require to expand your service infrastructure and business.
In this case, it will be necessary to introduce another vendor into your infrastructure. However this can mean challenges at many levels.
To meet those challenges, Fastwire can provide:
Building the infrastructure is only an early stage in a successful service delivery.
Managing existing infrastructure, service provisioning, monitoring and fault management are just a few examples of challenges which you need to face on daily basis to maintain a service network.
Fastwire can provide assistance to support your network, with both general IT capability and specific skills in areas such as:
In addition to the above, Fastwire can help your engineers to optimise your network to achieve the best performance and reliability from your service infrastructure.
