UfiSpace, the leading provider of open disaggregated networking solutions and Kazakhtelecom, the national carrier of Kazakhstan, this week announced the completion of multiple successful integrations with UfiSpace Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) and Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) solutions.
Last year, the operator initialized the testing of a disaggregated IP core network using UfiSpace's S9700 Series of core routers followed by UfiSpace's S9500 series of disaggregated cell site gateways. The tests were dedicated to validating interoperability of new solutions within their current infrastructure and included testing for IGP routing, MPLS LDP, convergence for link failures QoS, Timing (SyncE, G.8275.1 T-BC clocking), system management and more.
UfiSpace S9500 series of DCSGs are fully featured cell site routers, which utilizes carrier-grade white box hardware capable of running open network software, such as IP Infusion's OcNOS, to enable a more cost efficient 3G/4G/5G mobile backhaul solution. The DCSG was introduced by industry advocate Telecom Infra Project's OOPT group in conjunction with leading global operators Vodafone, Telefonica, TIM Brazil, BT, and Orange.
UfiSpace's core router solution distributes traditional monolithic chassis components such as line cards, fabric cards, controllers and protocol software into separate building blocks consisting of disaggregated white boxes. UfiSpace's S9700 routers were the world's first DDCs to be accepted by Open Compute Project and deployed by tier-one network operators.
Nurlan Meirmanov, Chief Innovations Officer at Kazakhtelecom
We have been reviewing the disaggregation approach for our networks for the past few years. For us, as rapidly growing operator, it is especially interesting due to flexibility in new service delivery and reduced capital expenditure.
Vincent Ho, CEO of UfiSpace
We are humbled to be working with Kazakhtelecom who is striving to implement more innovation and openness within their network despite these challenging times. We are confident that our disaggregated backhaul and core routers will allow Kazakhtelecom to enable their new 5G services with a more cost efficient architecture and bring more value to their customers.
