挑战
West Carolina Tel, a small rural service provider in South Carolina, was looking to expand its services and increase revenue by delivering superior, high-definition IPTV service to business and residential customers. The company faced stiff competition from cable providers who dominated the television market. To stand out, West Carolina Tel needed to offer better price packages and exceptional High-Definition (HD) TV. The company introduced television services in 2003, which required upgrading and improving the network, and selecting an industry-leading IPTV platform. The company had relied on Brocade® networking solutions for more than a decade and chose Brocade again to support IPTV.
