Hello!
I'm happy to share information about the RTU License of Transmission equipment.
What is RTU License of Transmission equipment
Right To Use (RTU) is a part of hardware. It is used to authorize hardware capabilities in installments, such as capacities, ports, and cross-connect degrees. RTU is a license for the use of hardware resources and has the same lifecycle as hardware.
Carrier
Using RTUs to provision services requires the following:
Hardware: subracks, boards, and optical modules that support RTUs
RTU certificate: setting the number and type of RTUs that have been applied for
Benefits
Reduced initial investment: The RTU provides customers with a method of purchasing hardware capabilities in installments, which can significantly reduce initial investment and quickly achieve balance between income and expenditure.
Reduced OPEX: Services can be provisioned by remotely loading RTUs. Therefore, customers do not need to install hardware boards onsite to achieve capacity expansion.
