Telco Systems and Advantech Partner on Open vCPE Portfolio for SMB Segment

Combined offering allows telcos and managed service providers to expand market reach for vCPE-based NFV services with high performance, cost optimized solution

Mansfield, Ma and Taipei, Taiwan, May 15, 2017 — Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative CE 2.0, MPLS, IP, SDN/NFV solutions, and the Networks & Communications Group of Advantech (TWSE:2395), today jointly announced a partnership between the two companies to provide an open vCPE solution enabling high performance VNF services on cost optimized hardware.

The partnership between Telco Systems and Advantech enables the rapid deployment of Telco Systems’ NFVTime open vCPE across a range of Advantech white box appliances. The NFVTime suite is a service-ready, plug-and-play vCPE solution integrating white box hardware, NFVi-OS and a broad VNF portfolio that are centrally managed and orchestrated. NFVTime allows telcos and managed service providers the agility to smoothly deploy any VNF service, including SD-WAN, vRouter, vFirewall, vProbe, vSecurity and much more, remotely and at any time with zero touch provisioning.

By deploying this joint open vCPE solution running on high performance, cost optimized white box appliances, telcos and managed service providers can efficiently expand their vCPE-based NFV services targeted at small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) and increase the potential revenues for managed network business services from this segment.

“We are committed to helping our service provider customers expand their service agility and deploy new business services across all market segments with the appropriate cost structure and resource requirements,” said Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product Management at Telco Systems. “For service providers targeting the SMB segment, our collaboration with Advantech is delivering three times the performance at half the cost.

” Telco Systems will be promoting its joint solution with Advantech at the upcoming Big Communications Event in Austin, TX on May 15-17. Telco Systems will be exhibiting at booth #B610.
