Be the Force Behind the Broadband Evolution
Built for Business Success: TOTSCo and CSF Ready
In the UK, business broadband switching can follow two key architectural approaches.
- Single destination model through TOTSCo
- Distributed model via Switching for Business as outlined in the Gaining Provider Led Business (GPLB) process
