The Carrier market continues to develop as IP carriers package connectivity with higher margin service offerings deployed as CPE devices in the SMB and SOHO markets.

We have found that the "IT IN A BOX"® solution creates new additional revenue streams for Carriers. As bandwidth becomes a commodity the service provider is forced to look at new revenue streams. IP based services are the vehicle to get to those newfound profit opportunities.

IT IN A BOX not only helps to generate new streams of revenue, but it also helps the provider keep that revenue. Customers who go through the process of centering their network functionality on the EmergeCore Networks gateway solution (hosting email and websites, security functions, etc.) are less likely to change providers. As bandwidth becomes a commodity, service providers will scramble to keep their customer churn low.

Please see the EmergeCore Networks whitepaper titled, "Trends in Service" for more details and models for this service opportunity. You may also follow the links below to watch an overview movie of the IT IN A BOX solution and it's role in a Carrier bundled service model.
