Find out why copper is leading the way in telecoms

Earlier this year, we repositioned our Viewpoints section as the Knowledge Network, giving the articles greater prominence in our newsletter and on the website, and readership has gone through the roof.

But what is really interesting is to see what you read most 2014, and both number 1 and number 12 are about copper - guess that explains why we've launched Gigabit Copper for 2015!

So if you haven't read all of these articles, they make great Christmas reading...

Here in order of popularity are the top dozen viewpoints from 2014:

Why should you care about IPX

There's a lot of smoke and mirrors surround IP Exchange or IPX, so it's good to look towards some of the technical product documents. This document is actually quite easy to read and briefly explains that service providers, whether they are Mobile or Fixed Network operators have a critical need for a new interconnect environment to handle a wide range of IP services and that IPX provides a commercial and technical solution to manage IP traffic.
GSMA's

The GSMA also go on to point out that IPX fulfils a number of key principles vital for a successful and sustainable IP Interworking solution:

That any potential player in the delivery of IP services - MNOs, FNOs, Carriers and ISPs - has the freedom of choice to be involved.

Reliable and secure delivery of services with agreed QoS levels 

A fair commercial return for parties who meet their obligations in the value chain 

Efficient Connectivity - the IPX is a Gateway to a managed IP network - managing data flow and commercial information and providing the benefits of multilateral connectivity to all players.

Moving on from the worthy principles brings us to the research conducted recently by IPX experts Hot Telecom, What Customers Think and Want, which was based on interviews with 70 CSP's and flags that 65% of the respondents plan to be using IPX services by the end of 2015 (Download the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY)
