Iskratel said it will demonstrate new CORD-compliant Optical Line Terminals(OLT) at the upcoming
The Company will show how operators can achieve virtualised, cloud-based and Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter (CORD)-compliant infrastructures - without the cost of replacing hardware - when it demonstrates its brand-new dual-nature GPON and XGS-PON OLTs. As the world's first "amphibian" xPON OLT, the solution enables operators to seamlessly upgrade their networks to virtualised, cloud-based infrastructures, via a simple software upgrade, said Iskratel.
The disaggregated white-box solution can transform Iskratel's SI3000 Lumia GPON and XGS-PON OLTs into fully virtualised, CORD-compliant physical OLTs with virtual OLT software running in the cloud via a software upgrade, eliminating the need for hardware upgrades when virtualising the central office and easing cloudification of the edge.
