Networking: Customer Success Story

Seamless Migration of Telecom Network Core Routers Project

One of our valued customers, Telecommunications Corporation, needed a critical upgrade to their existing telecom network infrastructure. The challenge was to migrate their two core routers without causing any downtime or disruptions to their services. Our team was entrusted with this vital task, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.

To begin, we accurately planned and executed the migration process, coordinating closely with our customer to ensure a seamless transition. The two existing core routers were successfully migrated to new, advanced models, designed to meet the growing demands of their network and enhance overall performance.

One of the key aspects of the migration involved setting up the new core routers with DC power cabling. We took careful measures to ensure that the power supply to the routers remained uninterrupted throughout the migration process, effectively minimizing any potential service disruptions.

Next, we undertook the task of recabling the entire network infrastructure. We replaced the outdated RJ45 cables with advanced optical cables, significantly improving data transfer speeds and reliability. The recabling process was carried out systematically, ensuring proper cable positioning and labeling for easy identification and future maintenance.

Moving forward, we carefully transferred the configurations from the old routers to the new ones. This step-by-step process ensured that all settings and parameters were accurately replicated, minimizing the risk of any configuration-related issues and ensuring a smooth transition.

Post-migration, we conducted thorough testing to verify the success of the migration. This included ping tests to confirm connectivity to service IP addresses, testing phone calls in specific areas to ensure uninterrupted communication, and performing remote logins to the new core routers to monitor their performance and stability.

The outcome of the migration was a resounding success. Telecommunications Corporation experienced a smooth transition to their new core routers without any service interruptions. The upgraded infrastructure resulted in improved network performance, enhanced reliability, and increased capacity, effectively supporting their growing customer base.
