Network Upgrade for High-Volume Connectivity

TSG facilitated a smooth transition for 600 MDU customers.

The Challenge

Our client was challenged with upgrading the networks of 600 MDU customers to meet security enhancements.

TSG’s Impact

Zero service disruptions, Seamless migration of 600 MDUs, Built new PPK-based network

Objectives

A US telecom giant faced the urgent task of upgrading networks for 600 multi-dwelling unit (MDU) customers to comply with new security requirements. This required reconfiguring Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and identifying MDU customers by Pre-Programmed Keys (PPKs) instead of MAC addresses. With a tight timeline and the complexity of managing both old and new network configurations, they sought expert support to complete the project while minimizing service disruptions.

Solutions

The Select Group (TSG) deployed a team of skilled network engineers who designed a new Pre-Shared Passphrase Key (PPK)-based network and conducted testing while maintaining existing network operations. After completing the tests, TSG seamlessly migrated the MDUs to the new network and dismantled the old infrastructure, ensuring no customer service interruptions.
