DALLAS, September 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

    STL [https://www.stl.tech/] (NSE: STLTECH), an industry-leading integrator

of digital networks, today launched Accellus, its flagship solution for

5G-ready, open and programmable networks. This new product line elevates STL's

position as a disruptive solution provider for Access and Edge networks. Over

the past 5 years, STL has been investing in R&D to expand its capabilities in

converged networks based on optical fiber broadband and Open Radio Access

Network (Open RAN).  

    As data demand rises and advanced use cases of IoT, AI, and immersive

experiences emerge, digital networks need to deliver ultra-high bandwidth, low

latency and intelligence at the edge. Open RAN enables this massive evolution

cost effectively.

    STL's Accellus is built on this industry leading converged optical-radio

architecture. The company expects global adoption of this solution to

accelerate at a rate of 250% YOY, driving better TCO for customers and gross

margins for shareholders. Accellus will enable four core benefits for network

creators - scalable & agile operations, faster time-to-market, lower TCO and

greener networks.

    Accellus will lead the industry's transition from tightly integrated,

proprietary products to vendor-neutral and programmable converged wireless &

fiber network solutions. It offers wireless and fiber-based converged solutions:

    1. 5G multi-band radios: Comprehensive Open RAN radio portfolio with

single-and multi-band macro radios. Co-developed in partnership with Facebook

Connectivity [https://www.stl.tech/] to build general availability for Open

RAN-based radios

    2. Indoor small cells: O-RAN compliant, highly power-efficient indoor 5G

small cell solution, with level 1 processing at the edge

    3. Wi-Fi 6 Access Solutions: Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 radio solutions providing

carrier-class public connectivity in dense environments

    4. RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC): Operating system for Open RAN 5G that

allows the Open RAN ecosystem to use third-party apps for operational

improvement and cost-savings

    5. Programmable FTTx (pFTTx)

[https://www.stl.tech/virtualised-access-products/pfttx/]: Comprehensive

solution that brings programmability and software-defined networking to large

scale FTTH, business, & cell site (FTTx) networks

    Commenting on the launch of Accellus, Philip Laidler, Partner and

Consulting Director, STL Partners, said: "One of the goals of O-RAN alliance

was to broaden the RAN ecosystem and encourage innovation from a wider base of

technology firms globally. STL's recent announcement is the latest indication

that this goal is being met."

    Commenting on the launch of Accellus, Chris Rice, CEO, Access Solutions,

STL, said: "Disaggregated 5G and FTTx networks based on open standards are

increasingly prevalent for both greenfield & brownfield rollouts. These

networks will require unprecedented scalability & agility, possible through an

open and programmable architecture. STL's Accellus will unlock business

opportunities for our customers and deliver immersive digital experiences

globally."
