What are the challenges of maintaining telecom sites in a secure context ? Maintaining telecommunications sites in a secure context can present several unique challenges. Here are some of these challenges and strategies to overcome them: 1. **#Secure access to sites:** In a security context, access to telecommunications sites may be restricted for reasons of confidentiality or national security. This can make it difficult to plan and carry out maintenance work. Telecommunications companies must work closely with local authorities to obtain necessary permissions and ensure secure access to sites. 2. **#Physical Security Threats:** Telecommunications sites can be targets of theft, vandalism or terrorist attacks. It is essential to have robust physical security measures in place, such as fencing, video surveillance systems, security guards and access control devices, to protect facilities against these threats. 3. **#Cybersecurity:** Cyberattacks against telecommunications infrastructures are a growing concern in the current context. Businesses must implement robust IT security measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption protocols, to protect networks and systems against cyber threats. 4. **#Risk Management:** Maintenance of telecommunications sites often involves high-risk activities, such as working at heights, handling electrical equipment and using hazardous chemicals. Implementing rigorous safety policies and procedures, as well as providing adequate training to workers, is essential to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. 5. **#Respect for confidentiality:** Telecommunications sites may contain sensitive equipment or confidential information. It is important to ensure data confidentiality and security throughout maintenance operations, by implementing secure data management protocols and limiting access to sensitive information to authorized individuals only. 6. **#Crisis Management:** In the event of a major incident, such as a network outage or cyber attack, effective crisis management is essential to minimize the impact on telecommunications services and ensure the continuity of operations. Businesses must develop robust crisis management plans and train their staff to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency. By overcoming these challenges, telecommunications companies can ensure reliability, security and availability of services for their customers, even in complex and secure environments. #Website : www.mikiconsultings.com #Email : [email protected] #phone: (00226) 70068725 / 67169043 / 78902765 #orange  #telecom #energiesolaire #energie  #ericsson #fibreoptique  #consultants #opérateursmobiles #territoires #TowerCo #infrastructurestélécoms #collectivitéslocales #couverturemobile  #pylônemutualisable #MTN #Orange Burkina Faso S.A

Public or Private cloud for 5G SA Core Network? The latest Analysys Mason research report indicates the preference amongst the CSPs for private cloud for the 5G SA Network. Key reasons: 1. Mid to long term TCO : Rental fees, dedicated line charges and traffic costs drive the TCO for the public cloud deployment. The private cloud TCO can be further optimized through Automation & AI 2. Superior Network Performance : CSPs have the fear that public cloud may compromise on latency and carrier grade reliability. This has been observed by the CSPs who have trialed mobile core in the public cloud 3. Better Security & Compliance with Data Sovereignty: Due to the dedicated nature, the private cloud reduces the risk for unauthorized access and data breaches. At the same time increased privacy legislations and lack of public cloud data centers in every geography makes them unsuitable for many CSPs.

Balancing Sales and Infrastructure: When to Drive Sales and When to Upgrade Your Network 📊⚙️ In the ever-evolving landscape of ISPs, one of the biggest challenges is balancing the drive for sales with the necessity of maintaining a robust infrastructure. The allure of rapid growth can sometimes overshadow the need for sustainable service quality. So, when should you push sales on your network, and when should you focus on upgrading the infrastructure? Overselling on wireless networks can be particularly problematic unless you upgrade backhauls to support the additional demand. Overloading your network without the necessary upgrades can lead to slow speeds during peak times, resulting in unhappy customers. This dissatisfaction inevitably blows back on support teams and the sales teams responsible for signing up the customers. I've seen this first-hand while working at a large ISP in the UK. We significantly expanded both our wireless and fibre networks, but the rapid growth caused substantial issues with customer experience. Slow speeds at peak times and long install times due to backlogs became commonplace. This not only affected our reputation but also strained our support teams, who had to manage the influx of complaints, and our sales teams, who faced the challenge of managing customer expectations. The key takeaway? Prioritise infrastructure upgrades to match your sales growth. Here are a few tips to ensure you're making the right decision: 1. Monitor Network Capacity 📈: Regularly assess your network's capacity and performance metrics to identify potential bottlenecks. 2. Plan for Peak Times ⏰: Ensure your network can handle peak time demands. This means not just upgrading backhauls but also optimising network configurations. 3. Customer Experience First 😊: Happy customers are loyal customers. Focus on maintaining a high quality of service, even if it means slowing down on sales temporarily. 4. Integrate Sales and Technical Teams 🤝: Foster communication between your sales and technical teams. Sales should be aware of network capacities, and technical teams should understand sales targets. Ultimately, the goal is to grow sustainably. Pushing sales is crucial, but ensuring your network can support this growth is even more critical. By maintaining this balance, you can expand your customer base while keeping your current customers satisfied and loyal. #ISP #Sales #CustomerSupport #Wireless #DGS #BusinessSuccess #ServiceDelivery
