TELE-POST is the sole telecommunications service provider and mobile network operator servicing the country of Greenland. The company has a history dating back to 1925, assuming its modern form in 1997 with the creation of Tele Greenland A/S following the merger of TELE Greenland and Kalaallit Alakaravati (Greenland Postal Service).
The Problem
Greenland faced challenges with population distribution, geography, and infrastructure. With 56,000 people scattered over 840,000 sq miles, logistical issues arose. The icy terrain compounded complexities. TELE-POST grappled with a blend of old and new technologies in its infrastructure, mirroring the common struggle of service providers integrating diverse systems.
The BlueAlly Solution
BlueAlly led a collaboration with CISCO and Ericsson, devising Transformational Architecture for telecom advancement. It centralized services, created a versatile network layer, and bolstered transmission. TELE-POST embraced this for streamlined service management on a simplified network.
The Results
Greenland’s Transformational Architecture provided many benefits:
Increased Network Capacity
More service offerings, social improvements, and a more reliable network.
Distributed Services
A granular means of optimization ideal for remote customers, end-to-end transport and virtualization allows citizens to access the same services as those in more populated areas.
Mobility
Expanding the reach of 3G and 4G services improves mobile Internet access and data use. Additionally, in less-populous areas, a move from all-copper home connections to mobile broadband.
Network Virtualization
In addition to obvious benefits like eliminating hardware, network virtualization technologies facilitate orchestration and distribution of services and enable unified management and provisioning.
