Convergence is Here: Casa Systems' Axyom Multi-Services Core Enables Fixed and Mobile Core Network Functions from a Common Software Framework
ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Casa Systems' portfolio offers cable service providers the solutions they need for next generation converged networks, available now. These solutions help service providers transform their networks to address capacity, performance, cost and agility challenges caused by exponentially increasing traffic, growing numbers of attached devices, rising competition, and head-end/hub and legacy network limitations. Casa's approach helps service providers extend the life of existing network assets while making a smooth transition to distributed, converged, cloud-based all-IP infrastructure at the pace service providers desire.
Casa's end-to-end solution set - including its Axyom((TM)) vCCAP, Remote PHY (R-PHY) and Remote MAC PHY (R-MAC PHY) Distributed Access Architecture solutions, 10G PON portfolio, converged HFC and optical transport platform and virtualized access gateways - reduces network complexity and costs, increases service agility and differentiation and accelerates time-to-market for service providers. Casa will showcase these capabilities at SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo(®) from October 17 - 20 in Denver, Colorado in booth 380 through demonstrations that include its Axyom Multi-Services Virtualized Core, now in customer trials globally, and participation in key virtualization panels that will examine the results of early deployments, performance considerations and the migration path to software-defined access.
"As service providers plan their network transformations, we're ready today with an innovative, end-to-end portfolio that delivers the flexibility and choice service providers need for effective and efficient next generation converged networks," said Jerry Guo, CEO at Casa Systems. "We're focused on end-to-end capabilities that result in converged, software-driven networks that are smarter, simpler, faster and give service providers the ability to deliver revenue generating services more rapidly."
Casa Demonstrations at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo
-- Multi-Services Virtual Core: Casa will highlight its vCCAP in a
demonstration of Casa's Axyom Multi-Services Virtual Core that features
key aspects of converged, distributed and virtualized networks. The demo
illustrates VoWi-Fi and VoWi-Fi to VoLTE calling leveraging Casa's cable
and LTE-EPC wireless access and core VNFs running at the edge in a
common software framework in an OpenStack-based environment. The demo
also features converged transport for fixed and mobile access leveraging
Casa's Distributed Access Architecture device for DOCSIS((TM)) backhaul
of small cells and Casa's Wi-Fi cable modems and Apex((TM))
multi-standard small cells.
-- Fiber-Deep Distributed Access: Casa will demonstrate video delivery over
its DOCSIS 3.1 Distributed Access Architecture solution that allows
service providers to deliver multi-gigabit services today, efficiently
scale to meet future needs and provide a smooth transition as network
functions become virtualized.
-- Passive Optical Networking: Casa's 10G-EPON DPoE v2 and XG-PON1 family
of products enable multi-gigabit services with a flexible portfolio of
centralized and distributed, physical and virtual solutions. The demo
will show Casa's 10G-EPON solutions including DOCSIS Provisioning over
Ethernet (DPoE) v2, giving service providers the ability to use existing
DOCSIS-based back-end systems and processes for FTTx that dramatically
simplify provisioning of complex services.
-- vCPE for Managed Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi services continue to grow in strategic
importance to cable service providers, and Casa's virtual Wireless
Access Gateway (vWAG) offers a highly scalable, cloud-based solution for
Wi-Fi first connectivity and value-added Wi-Fi use cases. With the
ability to deliver vCPE-type functions from the vWAG, service providers
can deliver new and enhanced services without increasing network
complexity. Casa will demonstrate its virtual Wireless Access Gateway
(vWAG), including device-type fingerprinting capabilities, which enable
a variety of policy-driven use cases to increase service provider
differentiation and grow revenues.
