Carrier Grade Outsourcing

Wholesale carriers are facing a growing number of challenges, including considerable changes in their revenue mix, an ongoing shift from voice to data, increasing focus on mobility, and a dent in revenue due to OTT services. Despite the many challenges in the market, wholesale carriers still have an opportunity to generate revenue for their company.

 

The traditional business of wholesale voice is in consistent decline. This is primarily due to the exponential rise of OTT services and VoIP services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Skype. Wholesale carriers are forced to evolve, in line with the growth in next generation network services and particularly the adoption of VoIP, which has surpassed traditional traffic volumes for the first time.  


However, this does not mean that revenue no longer exists in voice. In fact, it is an opportunity for wholesale carriers to offer capacity and manage international communications, serving the needs of retailers, mobile network operators and global enterprises.

For industry survivors, there is a significant amount of revenue to be earned. However, like other industries, this will only be the case for those who are willing to embrace the disruption caused by the digital transformation.
