vCPE Edge Virtualization

In this white paper, RAD’s CTO. Dr. Yaakov Stein and Dr. Yuri Gittik, Head of Strategic Innovations propose an economical solution to address white box CPEs’ key challenges. Specifically, they discuss how to reconcile compelling white box principles with the required plethora of different interfaces and high data rates that were provided by yesterday’s physical CPEs.  

NFV and SDN transformation is driving an unprecedented level of change. As service providers start to implement these new virtual network technologies, they face a number of challenges in rolling out and operating hybrid networks. This paper reviews best practices to address these challenges via a pre-integrated, end-to-end, automated and programmable solution.

Real-world progress is being made towards the wide-scale deployment of vCPE-based services as communications service providers (CSPs) overcome some of the hurdles encountered during recent years. This report provides current market outlook for network functions virtualization (NFV) and its most prominent use case, the virtualized customer premises equipment (vCPE).

Service providers can quickly introduce new services with the Juniper-RAD scalable Cloud CPE solution, which automates service creation, provides an open framework for third-party VNFs, and offers unparalleled visibility and control via standards-based performance monitoring, traffic management, and troubleshooting tools.

At MEF 2017, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein shared technology innovation perspectives, specifically, QoS for rich communications services.

As an early industry virtualization evangelist, RAD established and maintained a dialog with carriers and service providers on the subject of vCPE design and functionalities at the customer edge.

In this presentation, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein compares and contrasts the management of physical equipment with the orchestration of virtualized entities. Architecture, implementation, and operational aspects are discussed, zooming in on recent market experience with vCPE solutions.
