1 6 WISPAMERICA 2022 I MARCH 14 - 17, 2022 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 Telco Systems, Advantech Launch Platform to Streamline Virtual Services at Network Edge Ethernity Networks Announces New Edge Device Telco Systems, a provider of edge compute solutions, and Advantech, a leader in the industrial IoT sector, announced an enhanced joint solution for enterprises and service providers looking to simplify and streamline the management of edge devices and services across multiple sites. The solution is based on Telco Systems’ Edgility, a smart edge computing software, preinstalled on a variety of Advantech’s universal edge network appliances. As enterprises move business services to the edge and increasingly adopt remote work models, the complexity of deploying, managing and operating large numbers of edge devices and services at geographically distributed sites has increased exponentially. The joint Telco Systems-Advantech Edge Compute platform is ready “out-of-the-box” to support a range of edge usages, including work from home, uCPE, and Edge PoP. Designed for ease of use, this platform can be shipped with pre-installed operating systems and is connected to a cloud-based Monitoring and Orchestration (MANO) platform. Moreover, the pre-installed offering provides a range of preconfigured solutions optimized to support maximum functionality at the edge. The solution enables simple and intuitive deployment, management, and orchestration of thousands of devices running multiple applications. Fully automated service provisioning and activation enable enterprises to maximize operational efficiency. In addition, the offering meets customer demand for simpler logistics and end-to-end integration, removing “red tape” and enabling fast mass deployments. “Our enterprise and service provider customers are looking for cost-effective ways to simplify the deployment and management of edge devices at scale,” said Magic Pao, VP Cloud IoT Group at Advantech. “We are confident that this ready-to-deploy solution, combining our hardware with Telco Systems’ edge compute software, will facilitate our customers’ transition to flexible, efficient, and automated edge device management.” Telco Systems’ Edgility Edge compute software suite provides IT teams with a 360-degree toolset for deploying and managing thousands of edge devices across multiple branches, home and “mobile” offices forming the enterprise WAN. It comprises a high-performance, small-footprint operating system, together with a powerful Management and Orchestration (MANO) system. Advantech white-box network appliances scale from ultra-lightweight entry-level devices based on Intel Atom processors to high throughput platforms based on Intel Xeon Scalable processors. They provide ample connectivity choices including physical copper and fiber Ethernet interfaces and wireless 5G, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi 6, and Wi-Fi 5 options. Service providers and enterprise customers can leverage their performance and reliability on a white-box device that is compatible with leading software solutions. In addition, Advantech white-box platforms for SD-WAN, SASE, and uCPE are supported by Advantech’s global logistics and service network. “We’re excited to take our current relationship with Advantech to the next level,” said Ariel Efrati, CEO of Telco Systems. “Based on the synergies we’ve seen between our products in recent enterprise deployments, we believe this joint offering will strengthen our ability to support customers looking to expand their ecosystems to support the nascent edge compute revolution.” m The solution is immediately available for customer evaluation.

Ethernity Networks, a supplier of data processing offload solutions on programmable hardware for accelerating telco/cloud networks, announced its forthcoming disaggregated UEP2025 Cell Site Router (CSR). The UEP2025 features clock sync, security, Power Over Ethernet and the company’s patented link bonding over a combination of wired or wireless links to any vendor’s radio units. It will serve as an ideal disaggregated, all-in-one, wireless backhaul indoor unit and cell site router. UEP2025 is an upgrade on the existing and available Universal Edge Platform that represents Ethernity’s line of programmable network appliances targeted for network edge infrastructure solutions. It supports multiple ports of 10/25GbE and is equipped with a single FPGA SoC implementing the CSR data plane and the link bonding. Ethernity’s link bonding solution differentiates itself from traditional L1 bonding in that it enables an open, unlimited connection that does not depend on a vendor-specific radio unit. The result is a non-blocking, disaggregated appliance that overcomes vendor lock-in at the network edge in line with the specifications of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) Open Optical Packet Transport group’s Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG). The UEP2025’s programmability makes it futureproof and capable of incorporating any future feature requirements, as well as adaptable to include current add-ons such as GPS on-board, fronthaul interfaces, MACSec, IPSec, or any of the many other features from Ethernity’s rich FPGA firmware IP. Moreover, the same FPGA firmware can be integrated into the company’s ACE-NIC product line of SmartNICs to support cloudnative environments. The UEP2025 will be available for testing in July, with volume shipments in Q4. Preordering is available to secure delivery. Ethernity CEO David Levi said, “UEP2025 is the ultimate tool in enabling a truly disaggregated radio access network. While other vendors have L1 bonding features, they lock the service providers into using their proprietary radio. Ethernity offers service providers more flexibility and choice in which wired or wireless radios they use in planning their network infrastructure.” m Ethernity is promoting UEP2025 and its other 5G system solutions at Booth #516 on the WISPAMERICA show floor.
