FROM THE INDUSTRY
How is progress so far? We’re looking at having a hundred million projects before the end of the year. We’re a third of the way there now already. We’re growing the right way, moving from supply on demand to delivering complete solutions. We want to be able to lead the market and distributed access, architecture and Wi-Fi. Expansion into Europe with this affects products and service, and we must make sure we offer everything to everyone, 24-7, in multiple languages. It is critical that the sun never goes down on your product. How will you have the edge on your competitors? We’ll just have to make sure we’re quicker at getting products to market, having them in the portfolio, being able to talk about it, being able to introduce it. This means having the right expertise where it’s needed at the right time and being in front. We need to be the experts. What’s your message for the people reading this at ANGA COM? Our message is that Netceed is now an active spot; we have historically been about passive network architectures
and now we cater for both actives and passives. It actually makes sense for us as a brand; expanding into actives means we can just say, absolutely, we do that as well. It’s not a rebranding exercise for us, and as we have acquired so much expertise over the last few years, we’re now able to offer a solution that takes everything into account. I’m hoping to get to the day where we say, yes, of course, we’ve got that covered. Netceed is the partner that connects passive infrastructure with intelligent network performance.
a reality in Europe as soon as we start getting up to speed. We do have 24-7 for HFC products and with the CAP, the virtual C-CAPs, there is already 24-7 on there. We have been doing a lot of this, though that this had been more in the HFC and DOCSIS world. HFC and DOCSIS are only a small part of this. What’s the biggest challenge that you can see in your new role doing all this? The biggest challenge is to get everything here and to make sure we’ve got a product for everything and make it sure it fits for EMEA. There are differences in standards; because you have it in the US doesn’t mean it’s going to fit. Transport standards, for example, where there’s a lot of transport, they will be the ones making the standards. It’s about building a complete and coherent portfolio that works across EMEA. Standards differ, customer requirements vary, and solutions that work in one market don’t always translate directly to another. Ensuring we have the right technologies, the right expertise and the right support structure in place — that’s the key challenge.
