STL completes PoC for its pFTTx stack with Chunghwa Telecom's open broadband network
PR90418
TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
STL (https://stl.tech/)(NSE: STLTECH), an industry-leading integrator of
digital networks, today announced that it has successfully completed a
proof-of-concept (PoC) for its programmable FTTx (pFTTx) software solutions
with Chunghwa Telecom's open broadband access network. The PoC collaboration
demonstrated how STL's fully virtualized OLT software stack will enable
Chunghwa to upgrade its Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) to XGS-PON (10
Gig Symmetric PON) - a fibre access technology for symmetric broadband speeds
of up to 10 Gbps. This successfully establishes pFTTx
(https://www.stl.tech/fttx-access-network-solutions/) as a fully cloud native,
disaggregated and open networking compliant solution for last mile fixed
access.
Chunghwa Telecom is the largest integrated telecommunication service
provider in Taiwan. As they are looking to evolve FTTx, they are adopting a
virtualized, disaggregated and open access technology, STL's pFTTx - a virtual
OLT (Optical Line Terminal) software stack enables Chunghwa to transform their
FTTx network into a cloud native network architecture. pFTTx leverages white
box partner hardware to provide a feature rich solution. The trial further
established connectivity with Chunghwa's commercial network demonstrating use
cases such as BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) integration and live IPTV server
integration.
STL's open source system allows Chunghwa Telecom to use devices and
software from different providers, rather than being constrained by single
vendor lock-ins. The successful Proof of Concept (PoC) and live network
integration has firmly established STL's open networking compliant approach as
an alternative to monolithic, proprietary solutions for fixed access. By
enabling programmability at the core of the network and decoupling white-box
hardware from software, STL's pFTTx software stack brings more flexibility,
cost efficiency and service excellence to edge networks.
Chris Rice, CEO, Access Solutions, STL, said: "Virtualisation,
disaggregation and openness, both in the wired and wireless domains, will shape
the network landscape in the coming years. We are very glad to announce the
successful integration of STL's virtualised OLT software stack (pFTTx) into
Chunghwa Telecom's broadband access network. This successful Proof of Concept
will go a long way in building and scaling open, disaggregated wired access
networks, that will be critical in delivering 5G use cases to millions of
customers."
Dr. Lin, the President of Chunghwa Telecom Laboratories, notes that: "To
effectively consolidate the potential of development, production, and
marketing, while leveraging the technical capability to build a robust
ecosystem, is not only a challenge but also an opportunity for Chunghwa
Telecom. Chunghwa Telecom Laboratories embraces open networking standards and
will continue our collaboration with software/hardware partners in exploring
the advantages of network infrastructure and cloud architecture."
