IBBS Does Bandwidth Management for Smaller Operators
IBBS, a provider of voice and data services for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cable and broadband providers, launched IBBS Bandwidth Management, a new network optimization program that gives operators tools and insights so they may improve capacity planning, make strategic network investments and capitalize on IP service delivery trends.
The offering makes its debut as increased bandwidth consumption due to over-the-top video and peer-to-peer file sharing continues to significantly and negatively impact mid-size cable operators. Tier 2 and 3 operators have been uniquely impacted by increased data traffic due to a variety of factors including limited video on demand offerings, inadequate capacity management tools and constrained budgets for network expansions.
