Efficient data telemetry sets the foundation for automation in broadband access There’s no denying the incredible benefits that SDN brings to the broadband access network. With the arrival of SDN in the broadband access network, the opportunity arises for advanced automation to improve network operations and unlock new functionality that decreases costs and creates revenue opportunities. Chief among them is automation: the ability to use network intelligence and programmability to run both routine and advanced tasks that would otherwise be manual and subject to error. Automation, however, can only be as good as the data that feeds it, which is why good governance around telemetry is critical. Read this white paper to understand the role of modern push-based telemetry in automation, how to establish governance for it, and the operator use cases it unlocks.
