Migrating or establishing a next-generation network takes careful consideration of all the elements within a service provider’s network. Taqua’s Professional Services team has decades of experience with legacy and next-gen IP equipment and can help simplify this network design by addressed equipment selection, redundancy, IP addressing, future growth requirements, bandwidth and Quality of Service.
Project Management/Network Evaluation and Design
Taqua’s Professional Services team works closely with service providers to implement every project to ensure success. Taqua can supplement the service provider staff and assist in network design, project scheduling and overall project management.
Pre-Deployment Testing
Many service providers live on the cutting edge of new system deployment while others are happy to go with what is tried and true. Regardless of which direction the service provider is taking, Taqua’s extensive research and development laboratory in Richardson, Texas is set up to accommodate any need. With virtually every type of legacy and next-gen ancillary network element available, Taqua’s Professional services team can deploy a variety of scenarios within a test environment prior to live deployment to ensure quick and easy turn-up of any next-gen service.
Next Gen Switching Installation and Legacy Switching Decommissioning
Taqua’s professional services team has installed hundreds of Taqua 7000 switches and at the same time, decommissioned every type of legacy switch in North America. From decommissioning the legacy switch, to the set-up of translations, trunks and SS7 A-links/F-links, the implementation of the point code proxy configuration; Taqua can either assist or provide a turn-key cutover. Taqua can simplify the process and have experience professionals on site and assist with every step along the way.
Migrating Subscribers
Leaving the subscriber migration in the hands of Taqua’s professional services team can save service providers time and money. There are many types of subscribers to address during any migration process -- DLC-based POTS, PRI, T1 CAS, VoIP as well as proprietary legacy subscribers systems. Having complete knowledge of the network configuration and experience extracting subscriber configuration data from legacy switches is critical to the success of any cap and grow or flash cut-over migration. Taqua is the most experienced next gen switching supplier with almost a decade of experience in migrating subscribers to the Taqua 7000.

Prior to launching a new service, Taqua can provide a custom developed on-site training class for service providers to address engineering, network operations and subscriber provisioning staff, as well as go to market strategies for deploying new enhanced services.
