Physical Infrastructure
It's the least glamorous part of business communications technology -- the conduits and cables hidden behind walls, in floors and above ceilings; unseen by end users. Historically viewed as a “utility”, telecom cabling and supporting conduits were seen as expenses to be minimized. However, with the convergence of voice, data and video communications, the telecommunications physical infrastructure has become a critical link in the delivery of reliable high-performance business services. Moving forward, it will become even more critical, and need to be even more flexible, in order to accommodate constantly increasing transmission speeds and bandwidth requirements.
