Ceragon Networks in collaboration with Telefonica demonstrates real-world applications for SDN-based transport networks at the inaugural Open Networking Foundation (ONF) SDN showcase, held in conjunction with Layer123’s SDN & OpenFlow World Congress.
Ceragon showcased SDN functionalities on its IP-20 backhaul platform that extends beyond the capabilities of L2 and L3 networks, allowing service providers to enhance Quality of Experience (QoE) by rerouting traffic. The automatic traffic rerouting is based on intelligence of network conditions and using DPI capabilities with wireless link information. Ceragon has partnered with Qosmos, the market leader in embedded Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and network intelligence technology for use in physical, SDN and NFV architectures.
In addition, Ceragon also showcased IP-20 platform’s ability to dynamically allocate spectrum where needed via central, dynamic spectrum and interference management.
Ceragon is excited about the opportunity to present its SDN applications at the ONF SDN Showcase. SDN promises to reduce overall network complexity, allowing more sophisticated, end-to-end optimizations that are not possible today due to the exceedingly complicated, non-interoperable, multi-vendor environment. The Ceragon IP-20 platform harnesses the power of SDN, providing centralized management and control, as well as programmability.
