Helping ILECs Replace Legacy Switches While Maintaining Universal Service Funding
Legacy telephone switches are becoming obsolete, expensive to maintain, and require specialized expertise that is increasingly scarce. US-based incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) know this, but they also know that these legacy switches are what allow them to maintain Eligible Telecom Carrier (ETC) status, which in turn allows them to continue to qualify for Universal Service Funding (USF).
How can ILECs modernize their network without losing funding?
Join industry experts from Moss Adams and TelcoBridges in this webinar as they explore how ILECs can smoothly transition from old switching equipment to Tmedia gateways, and the benefits of doing so. They’ll cover key strategies to maintain regulatory compliance, cut costs, and sustain USF revenue.
