Active Broadband Unveils Software-Defined Broadband Network Gateway

Active Broadband Networks, an innovative supplier of software-defined networking (SDN) solutions for broadband service providers, this week unveils the industry's 'first' Software-Defined Broadband Network Gateway (SD-BNG), a software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) based access network platform. 

According to Active Broadband Networks, the new platform reduces costs and complexity of broadband service delivery. The company said that the SD-BNG unlocks the benefits of SDN and NFV for service providers to streamline orchestration, proactively manage Quality-of-Experience (QoE) and develop new services and applications.

The SD-BNG platform consists of the APG/80 Active Programmable Gateway, a software based switching element for high-performance packet processing that is fully programmable via OpenFlow control, and the Active Resource Controller (ARC), an SDN controller optimized for broadband service orchestration and delivery with real-time, dynamic QoE management.

"Active Broadband's SD-BNG enables our FTTH operation in countries like Barbados to rapidly address subscriber needs by enhancing and modifying our data services. It simplifies providing subscribers with personalized services meeting their unique requirements. This capability to rapidly introduce new service offerings in weeks rather than months offers strong value to our customers and to our business."

-         Andre Foster, Chief Information Officer of Columbus Communications

"Our SD-BNG platform refactors the existing monolithic BNG and the potpourri of disparate service management software components to dramatically simplify and streamline orchestration, activation and ongoing QoE for the broadband services delivered today, along with applications currently being devised by operators leveraging NFV."

-         Adam Dunstan, CEO of Active Broadband Networks
