Nokia launches Multivendor ONU Connect, an innovative virtualized solution that guarantees PON interoperability - Seite 2

Julie Kunstler, principal analyst at Ovum said: "Nokia's Multivendor ONU Connect brings operators the true benefits of SDN and NFV. It enables operators to onboard multi-vendor ONUs quickly, providing their subscribers with best in class CPEs for supporting new services while significantly reducing testing and resource costs. While several operators share their respective OMCIs, Nokia's Multivendor ONU Connect streamlines interoperability by virtualizing ONU management. Furthermore, operators can easily manage existing ONUs and their updates, along with new ONUs, solving numerous operational challenges."

Federico Guillen, president of Nokia Fixed Networks, said: "I'm excited to say that Nokia is truly 'open' for business. We're actively taking virtualization concepts and turning them into real solutions that operators can deploy in their network today. In addition to simplifying network processes, we're also providing customers with an open solution that guarantees PON interoperability, enabling new services and innovations to be deployed much more quickly. Just like a printer driver for PCs, the Multivendor ONU Connect solution simplifies multi-vendor ONU deployments.  This eliminates the risk, cost and headaches associated with ONU selection and focus on providing the best solution for their customers regardless of vendor."

Nokia will demonstrate the Multivendor ONU Connect solution at Broadband World Forum 2018 and showcase plug-and-play interoperability over an XGS-PON network, connecting a 3^rd party ONT to the Nokia Lightspan OLT.
