Accellus is an end-to-end fiber broadband and 5G wireless solution that adhere to open networking principles to address 5G wireless and last-mile fixed access (FTTx). This new product line elevates STL's position as a disruptive solution provider for Access and Edge networks.
STL's Accellus is built on the industry leading converged optical-radio architecture. Further, this solution leads the industry's transition from tightly integrated, proprietary products to vendor-neutral and programmable converged wireless & fiber network solutions.
It offers wireless and fiber-based converged solutions with four core benefits for network creators
In the optical connectivity realm, Accellus offers a platform (Programmable FTTx) that is entirely virtualized OLT [optical line termination] and ONT [optical network terminal] software stack integrated with white box solutions, to support fiber to the home or enterprise. This solution is open source compliant and now in active trials with Tier 1 operators across the globe.
On the wireless side, Accellus offers COTS [commercial off-the-shelf] based open and virtualized RAN solutions, that can host both 4G and 5G concurrently. This includes macro radios, small cells, Wi-Fi 6 access points and an O-RAN compliant RAN Intelligent Controller. Furthermore, we have uniquely tapped into the burgeoning start-up ecosystem to conceptualize, design, and manufacture 5G radios entirely indigenously. With our recent product launches around indoor small cells, multiband radio, Wi-Fi 6 access solutions, we are well poised to deliver cutting-edge wireless, open and programmable solutions to telcos and network players across the world.
Portfolio:
Programmable FTTx
We offer pFTTx which can virtualize last mile network to enable flexible gigabit broadband. pFTTx is an SDN-NFV, micro-services oriented, cloud-based network solution that radically elevates the network service provider's business model.
5G Macro Radios
Comprehensive Open RAN radio portfolio with single-and multi-band macro radios. Co-developed in partnership with Facebook Connectivity to build general availability for Open RAN-based radios.
5G Small Cells
- STL has indigenously designed and developed small cell Garuda, that complements the network coverage, density and capacity of macro radio networks seamlessly. Garuda comes with different O-RAN configurations (currently 7.2x and 2.0), both for indoor and outdoor environment.
Wi-Fi 6 Access Solutions
STL"s Wi-Fi 6 solution is a carrier-grade high capacity outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point. It leverages the latest Wi-Fi standards and enables service providers to deliver a wide range of exciting and innovative offerings
RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC)
STL"s RIC is an operating system for Open RAN 5G that allows the Open RAN ecosystem to use third-party apps for operational improvement and cost-savings.
Alliances with open communities for developing cloud- native 5G and FTTx solutions
STL is working very closely with ORAN to build near real time 5G controllers. With our Programmable, Open, Disaggregated Solution (PODS), we are contributing our capabilities and expertise to build future RANs on the foundation of virtualised network elements, white-box hardware, open and standardised interfaces. Once developed, our near-real time controller will help the Alliance operators accelerate the development and commercialisation of 5G networks globally.
STL has been collaborating continuously in workgroups like VOLTHA (Virtual OLT Hardware Abstraction), SEBA (Software enabled broadband access) and ONOS (Open Network Operating System) for productization and commercialization of these open platforms.
STL has been working very closely to develop an optical transport controller to manage and control Voyager and Cassini platforms developed by TIP members.
STL has been contributing to ONAP in fields of orchestration and cloud management in this domain.
