Chunghwa Telecom and Netsia have successfully completed the integration of Netsia SEBA+ Solution into Chunghwa Telecom’s Labs located in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Chunghwa Telecom, the biggest network operator in Taiwan, as part of its virtualized and disaggregated broadband network strategy took an important step towards an open and disaggregated architecture, and thus, providing world-class, modern, high quality and high speed broadband services and evaluated Netsia’s SEBA+ solution.
Netsia SEBA+ solution, which is based on ONF’s SDN-Enabled Broadband Access (SEBA) reference architecture, provides network operators with a hardened, supported and production-ready distribution of the open source SEBA platform. SEBA ensures faster service enablement leveraging the economies of white box hardware with a cloud native software architecture. SEBA enables operators to extend software defined programming to the fixed access network with customized support for each operator’s unique services and workflows. Netsia SEBA+ proves to be the most versatile solution on the market, as it is suitable for multi-play network operators for both brown and green field deployments as well as for broadband service providers of all segments across the globe, including the national broadband networks.
Chunghwa Telecom tested Netsia SEBA+ solution comprehensively in their network environment, to ensure that the solution provides the necessary functionality needed for Chunghwa Telecom network requirements. Tests are completed in a full XGSPON environment using Edgecore white box OLTs and ONU equipment from different hardware vendors. This also ensured that Netsia SEBA+ breaks any vendor lock for hardware components in an operator’s access network. Integration and testing was achieved with a live BNG.
