To unlock the full potential of gigabit broadband, service providers need to build a scalable network which can launch new services on the fly. This can be achieved by building virtual networks wherein network resources can be re-configured on demand basis. Traditionally, this has required significant investment, and hence creating a massive roadblock for service providers. But today, with the maturity of cloud technologies, availability of open source codes and abstraction of hardware from software layer ensures this transition with minimal additional cost. Read More..
At STL, 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. It helps in building virtual networks with open interfaces by abstracting software from hardware layer.It drastically reduces time to market for new digital services, sets the ball rolling for edge computing by disaggregating broadband networks and re-architecting central offices. While deploying this into our production network, we have implemented the SEBA (Software enabled broadband access), an ONF complaint reference platform. This platform serves as a benchmark for the community, customers, and industry and is helping in adoption of programmable FTTx PODS. Read Less..
