Altran and Edgecore Networks have launched an SDN-enabled virtualized access solution (SDvAS) for use with open broadband access network systems. The suite of software frameworks will help customers achieve the benefits of virtualization while accelerating the path to open networking, an operator-led initiative supporting interoperability and cost-efficient service delivery. Altran SDvAS boasts enhanced open networking frameworks with robust quality assurance and full-service support. One element, the SDvAS Virtual OLT (vOLT) framework, provides a rich set of features built on the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) VOLTHA, the Broadband Forum (BBF) Open Broadband Access (OB-BAA) with standardized NETCONF/YANG models, and the Altran Intelligent Switch Solution (ISS) control plane. Altran’s SDvAS access management solution (SAMS) enables SDN-based management and control of the SDvAS Virtual OLT and other third-party Virtual OLTs using the OB-BAA framework. Using this solution, customers can gain a migration path from traditional OLTs to virtualized solutions, resulting in valuable cost savings. Complementing the Virtual OLTs and addressing the need for scalable broadband network gateways (BNG) on open network hardware, Altran's SDvAS Virtual BNG provides a disaggregated, control plane and user plane separation (CUPS) solution for flexible network deployment. It supports the deployment of subscriber management functions as an elastic scalable virtual network function (VNF) on x86 compute nodes, along with traffic management capabilities on Edgecore’s open networking switches that are based on Broadcom’s StrataXGS and StrataDNX platforms.
