vCPE-OS

A comprehensive look at today’s vCPE deployment drivers and challenges brought on by the move towards disaggregated architecture. An in-depth review of the most compelling use cases with specific focus on CSP needs.  

The European Advanced Networking Test Center and Upperside Conferences invited interested vendors to our public multi-vendor interoperability test and showcase at the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress 2017.

Core topics for the current edition were:

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).

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.

At MPLS+SDN+NFV World 2016, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein presented vCPE architectural options and compared implementation options based on suitability and performance for various use cases.
