Prepare Services
Video Readiness Assessment
Systematically assess and benchmark the IP network to identify gaps between your existing infrastructure and your IPTV requirements.
Operational Assessment
Identify gaps early in the video launch process with a systematic operation review of the business processes related to customer acquisition, order fulfillment, service assurance, retention, and nonpay disconnect.
Signal Survey
Determine whether the location of your proposed antenna farm will provide the best possible reception for video service delivery before implementation. The survey includes a detailed signal and interference report.
Site Survey
Determine the suitability of the proposed headend building and identify required facility modifications. The report includes a detailed floor plan, power, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) requirements.
Planning, Design, and Implementation Services
Solution Requirements Workshop
This joint activity led by Cisco systematically collects end-to-end solutions requirements and reconciles the information across multiple stakeholders. The deliverable is a completed solutions requirements document (SRD).
Planning and Design Workshop
In a step-by-step process, Cisco Services designs the network using the SRD and other information such as system architecture and topology, availability and security requirements, the current network environment, and the site survey. The deliverable is a high-level design document.
