To stay competitive, wireline, mobile and “quad-play” (voice, data, video and wireless) telecommunications companies must offer innovative services while protecting customer data. If security shortcomings result in critical user data being exposed, they lose customers—fast. However, maintaining security levels despite growing numbers of subscribers can be extremely challenging and costly. Telecom operators need to offer best-in-class voice, data, video and wireless services as economically as possible to maximize profits, but IT expenses associated with managing and protecting huge volumes of subscriber data while delivering high performance can make it difficult to maintain required profit margins.

In addition to requirements for cost-efficient, secure service delivery, performance of endpoint devices is also essential. Telecom operators must provide employees and subscribers with a variety of desktop and mobile endpoint device choices that are compact, efficient, use as little energy as possible and provide the performance necessary to deliver a high-quality end user experience.
