Pangea has launched a pre-Ethernet solution that enables telecoms resellers to collect revenue from their Ethernet deals from the day they make the sale, providing instant connectivity to customers via a 4G-connected Pangea router.
The router works as an initial connectivity device until the Ethernet line becomes active three to six months post-order, meaning an invoice can be drawn up and revenue collected immediately by the partner.
Once the Ethernet has been delivered, the Pangea router can then be used as a failsafe or disaster recovery option, should the original Ethernet ever go down.
Pangea can also offer this service with a Static IP that allows for various VoIP and hosted products to be sold at the same time.
Pangea MD Dan Cunliffe said: "Having worked with telecoms companies for many years, and especially with those focused on the channel, we know that the book to bill time for Ethernet is a challenge.
"It is unfortunately not something that is going to be solved anytime soon by the Ethernet infrastructure providers.
"However, we do know that by implementing our pre-Ethernet product you can access these revenues sooner and help to keep your customers happier.
"Furthermore, the service can be seamlessly changed to a disaster recovery service or given a public static IP once the Ethernet is in place."
