EXI’s broach technological expertise allowed it to handle the multi-vendor equipment and upgrade the core network to a unified hard- and software system. EXI fastened the modernization process by conducting swapping and commissioning activities in parallel, while including a trusted external partner to expand the available workforce.

Result:

The network modernization enabled the client to upgrade its services and simultaneously set up its network for future upgrades and technologies. EXI managed to install, test and integrate all roughly 100 network elements in only 9 months, limiting the network downtimes and fastening the project.
