UET United Electronic Technology AG (aconnic) (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Eschborn, has partnered with CMC Networks to bring network function virtualization (NFV) to service providers across Africa and the Middle East. CMC Networks is deploying aconnic’s uSphir OS & NFV platform as part of its CMC Fusion Network as a Service (NaaS) offering, helping to accelerate service deployments for customers across these regions. The partner CMC Networks is a global Tier 1 service provider.

“Africa is strategically important for aconnic to expand the business, and we are looking forward to becoming even more involved in this fast-growing region in the future”, said Werner Neubauer, CEO of aconnic (previously UET Group).

The uSphir OS & NFV platform is specially designed for disaggregated networks, integrating hardware, software and applications from multiple vendors to ensure carrier-grade network performance. When combined with the on-demand CMC Fusion NaaS platform, service providers in Africa and the Middle East will benefit from service delivery automation to speed up new deployments at scale.

“NFV enables service providers to deploy services in new and innovative ways, delivering the value customers are expecting with added speed and flexibility. CMC Networks’ customers will be able to select any virtual network function (VNF) and any hardware platform with our open uSphir ecosystem, which is a significant value-add,” said Werner Neubauer. “We are thrilled to work together with one of the largest pan-African and Middle Eastern network connectivity service providers to enable next-generation connectivity in the region.”
