As broadband providers continue to expand their networks, many are also looking for new ways to increase revenue and deliver greater value to subscribers. This edition of the Outside Plant Quarterly Update explores both sides of that opportunity, highlighting solutions that can help grow your business while supporting the infrastructure that keeps your network running.

In this issue, we feature connected services that create new recurring revenue opportunities, including Paige, a simple video communication platform designed for seniors and caregivers, and the KAON and TiVo solution that enables independent and regional service providers to deliver a modern television experience. We also take a closer look at proven infrastructure solutions from Charles Industries, Snake Tray, and Dura-Line, covering everything from FTTH network components and cable management best practices to professional training resources that help keep your team up to date.

This issue highlights just a selection of the products, resources, and solutions available from Hall Telecommunications. Visit our website below to explore more ways we can support your network and help grow your service offering.

Growing Revenue with Connected Services

Ready to compete with the big telcos on more than internet speed? Hall is working with KAON, TiVo and MSCTV to give Canadian ISPs a practical path to a modern, branded IPTV service. See how you can bring live TV, on-demand content and stream discovery together while building more value into your boadband offering.

Paige Frame gives telcos, ISPs and OSP partners a way to extend the value of connectivity beyond internet service alone. Designed for households supporting an older adult, Paige combines one-touch video calling with a familiar, easy-to-use device while family members manage contacts and settings through the Paige Connect app. 

For providers, Paige can help:

Choosing the right cable tray involves more than just size and capacity.
