Listen "Powering Up Broadband: How Electrical Co-Ops are transforming into ISPs through Disaggregated Networking"
Episode Synopsis
The need for high speed broadband connections in rural areas is firmly in the spotlight. The shift to online services and working from home has accelerated an already unprecedented demand. Governments are responding in kind - with $42.5bn being pledged in the US alone through its Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program. The need for rapid deployments means electrical coops - who have existing infrastructure in these areas - are turning their hand to broadband deployment. Why?
The electricity customer base is not growing meaning the revenue model has plateaued, but Co-Ops are looking to return value to their members still. Becoming an ISP offers a massive new revenue share, it provides new revenue streams for Internet, Private Circuits, and Co-Location.
Major vendors like Juniper have dominated the market for Electric Co-Ops but inflated licencing costs and a lack of sureity on where the costs are going to go in the future has prompted a need for supply chain diversification.
For Electrical Co-Ops there are complex problems to solve in every vertical of networking: Enterprise, OT for Electric Grid, and Service Provider for ISP.
IPv6 strategies are few and far between - forcing CAPEX spend on large blocks of IPv4.
All of which makes Electrical Co-Ops the perfect candidate for disaggregated or open networking. It can help to reduce CAPEX and Operational expenses immediately and for the future, making projections more attractive, and the technology is there to enable multitenancy to use the network for the 3 different models. Open Networking hardware is more readily available so a new network can be deployed quicker, and the support available from open networking vendors is responsive and dependable.
Today we look at how can Electrical Co-Ops make the transition to becoming Service Providers with ease through Open Networking.
