  • Deployment processes for new technology systems
    Patent number: 7535866
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for deploying new technology such as MIMO transmission technology in a geographically distributed network such as a telecommunications network is provided. In one embodiment, the invention is a method of installing new technology in an existing geographically distributed network. The method includes dedicating network resources of the geographically distributed network for the new technology to produce dedicated network resources of the geographically distributed network. The method also includes installing a component for the new technology at a centralized network facility of the geographically distributed network. Moreover, the method includes coupling the dedicated network resources of the geographically distributed network to the component. The method may further include installing subscriber equipment at subscriber sites. The new technology may be MIMO transmission technology.
