DPI (Deep Packet Inspection), IDS (intrusion detection system) and IPS (intrusion prevention system) are a few of the critical infrastructures used in cyber security technology. They are frequently used in addition to other deployed hardware firewalls. Given the pace at which new applications are emerging and the data is growing, there is an increased demand for securing oneself from cyber threats. Hence, to achieve success without compromising on application serviceability and QoS (quality of service), a highly flexible system architecture based on software is required to build performant platforms for DPI, IDS and IPS.

Lanner Electronics, Inc., the global leading supplier in network communication platforms and IoT gateways, today announced that its LTE-Ready Edge Gateway has received the PTCRB certification for wireless communications.

Mobile World Congress, Barcelona – February 25, 2019 – Aricent, a global design and engineering company, today announced a partnership with Lanner Electronics Inc., the leading global supplier of Whitebox Solutions™ network communication platforms, to enable SD-WAN functionality on universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) platforms for small, medium and large enterprises.

The NCA-4020, a verified Intel® Select Solution for uCPE, is powered by 8~16-core computing prowess and offers not only up to 128GB system memory, 10x RJ45, 8x PoE+ and 4x 10G SFP+ ports but also DPDK support and Intel® QAT for running multiple VNFs, delivering up to 2.9X network performance, 1.6X compute performance and 2.8X storage performance.

Taipei, Taiwan, Feb, 19, 2019 – Lanner Electronics (TAIEX 6245), the world leader in providing customizable SDN and NFV network appliances, announced today its partnership with netElastic to deliver virtual Broadband Network Gateway and virtual Customer Premise Equipment based on Lanner’s customizable and scalable white-box hardware portfolio and netElastic’s software-based vRouter, vBNG and SD-WAN/vCPE solutions to the market.

For the past couple years, SDN and NFV have rapidly evolved from PoC (proof of concept) stage, to the presently widespread deployment. The market has witnessed VNFs (virtualized network functions) bringing service providers new opportunities to optimize their infrastructures and increase service agility. They can move toward a more harmonized cloud-based infrastructure with this virtualized approach, where network elements and applications are defined as sets of virtual machines, virtual storage and virtual network configurations.

 

5G is anticipated to unlock the new business models that will enable operators to create new revenue streams, made possible by virtualizing the edge so that diverse networking and service delivery models can be available. Recently successful applications include consolidated branch networking via SD-WAN, multi-access edge computing with ultra-low latency to enhanced mobile bandwidth and massive IoT communications. Thus, for communication operators to enhance service agility, scalability and flexibility in their network architecture, virtualization at the edge network will have huge influence to realize 5G connectivity.
