Inter-Carrier Hub
Hub Participation Driven by Business Relationships
Participation grows organically through business relationships, across two complementary paths: seller-led and buyer-led.
Seller-Led Adoption
Start with a handful of trusted buyers as an initial low-risk rollout
Grow by adding preferred buyers as market momentum builds
Scale by expanding to all buyers as the Hub becomes the standard way to do business
Buyer-Led Adoption
Start with a handful of trusted sellers as an initial low-risk rollout
Grow by adding preferred sellers as market momentum builds
Scale by expanding to all sellers as the Hub becomes the standard way to do business
Inter-Carrier Hub
Pricing Built for Broad Industry Adoption
Inclusive by Design
Designed to be accessible and inclusive, enabling participation across carriers of all sizes and regions.
Built-In Flexibility
Designed to be flexible, enabling a start small approach and scaling progressively as needs grow.
Readily Amortizable
Designed for costs to be readily amortized by the business they enable, becoming increasingly marginal as business scales.
The Partner Channel Model
Each Partner Channel represents a dedicated business relationship between one buyer and one seller.
Each Partner Channel is activated through a single annual subscription, funded by either the buyer or the seller.
Each Partner Channel covers one product scope, within which the seller can define and share unlimited product offerings that the buyer can discover and access.
Current product scopes includes:
– L1 Wavelength (Planned)
– L2 Ethernet (Available)
– L3 IP (Planned)
Additional product scopes require additional Partner Channels.
Each Partner Channel includes unlimited business operations between the buyer and the seller within its subscribed product scope across:
– Product Catalog
– Product Pre-Ordering
– Product Ordering
