vCPE-OS

Open Carrier-Class Operating System for Network Edge Virtualization

Part of RAD’s Service Assured Access (SAA) solutions, the Linux-based, carrier-class vCPE-OS runs on any white box server and is pre-loaded in RAD’s virtual CPE (vCPE) platforms. It combines powerful networking capabilities with virtualization for hosting SD-WAN and any other value-added virtual network function (VNF) applications from any vendor.

 

vCPE-OS
Virtualization by RAD
Interoperable with open source management platforms

RAD’s vCPE-OS is interoperable with open source management platforms, and easily integrates with standards-based SDN controllers, orchestrators and operations/business support systems (OSS/BSS) from major providers. Featuring a comprehensive management and security suite, vCPE-OS is unique in its convergence of key OS components of NFV infrastructure (including a KVM hypervisor, Open vSwitch, OpenStack, and other elements) with embedded networking capabilities and integrated drivers for LTE and Wi-Fi. In addition, it enables seamless integration of RAD’s pluggable physical network functions (PNFs), such as OAM, Timing, TDM, DSL, and PON.
