DAY 1 WWW.WISPA.ORG 1 5 www.bekabusinessmedia.com Ethernity Networks, a supplier of data processing semiconductor technology for networking appliances, introduced the UEP3808 Combo PON OLT, offering 10 Gigabit per second (XGS-PON) and Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) optical line termination (OLT). The UEP3808 can serve as either a complete OLT with software or as a white box offering to allow OEMs to port their own software on the platform. The UEP3808 can incorporate two or four FPGAs in a single OLT equipped with Ethernity’s PON OLT controller semiconductor IP, enabling a variety of flexible port configurations. The appliance can offer up to 16 ports of XGS-PON, 8 ports of CPON, 16 ports of GPON, or a combination thereof, as well as two ports of 100Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and six ports of 10/25GbE to deliver 800Gbps of switching capacity. Moreover, all the configurations use the same hardware design and to support the various configurations pin-compatible FPGAs can be assembled on the same hardware. As with all Ethernity products, the UEP3808 also provides hardware acceleration of the data plane with advanced traffic management and high quality of service, creating a lower cost option compared to products based on merchant silicon. While access network architectures commonly use monolithic devices in which the control and forwarding planes are hosted on the same device, the UEP3808 disaggregates the control plane and forwarding plane, enabling service providers to control multiple OLT boxes as if they were cards in a chassis. They can employ a virtual controller to fit any subscriber density, freely adding ports as their network grows without the limitations of a fixedsized chassis. This also lets providers avoid vendor lock-in and build, develop, or integrate software and functionality at will. The design of the UEP3808 lends itself to a completely different use case in which it can serve as an aggregator and bonding/ de-bonding unit for multiple UEP2025 appliances, creating point-to-multipoint traffic delivery using Ethernity’s patented L1 linkbonding technology, covering an environment spanning multiple radio towers by porting Ethernity’s bonding semiconductor technology into the FPGAs. Ethernity’s CEO David Levi explained, “In the UEP3808, we landed upon a unique architecture that enables a lower-cost and higher-end functionality to serve the fiber access market with a unique and programmable offering for wireless internet service providers. We are confident that this platform will address the specific deployment needs of the WISP market.” Ethernity is running a live demo of its link bonding technology at WISPAMERICA at its booth 324 and will feature the UEP2025 indoor/outdoor unit, the UEP3808 Combo PON OLT, and the company’s new Two-Tier PON solution. m For more information, or to schedule an appointment to meet with Ethernity’s representatives at WISPAMERCIA, contact marketing@ ethernitynet.com.
