Accedian Partners With Lanner Electronics to Offer Performance-Assured Virtual Customer Premises Equipment (vCPE)

Montreal (ots/PRNewswire) -

Accedian (https://accedian.com/), the global end-to-end network
performance assurance experts, today announced that it has partnered
with Lanner Electronics Inc., to integrate its fully virtualized
SkyLIGHT(TM) performance assurance platform into Lanner's x86 network
platform (http://www.lannerinc.com/products/network-appliances/). The
combined solution will bring performance assurance and visibility to
Lanner's service provider customers deploying its platforms for
universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) applications.

Service providers are accelerating virtual customer premises
equipment (vCPE) and uCPE roll-outs using a mix of centralized,
distributed, and hybrid deployment models with their enterprise
customers. While bringing greater customer service flexibility and
cost savings, service providers also need complete quality of
experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS) visibility to manage
service level agreements (SLAs) and identify network problems in
their virtualized service deployments. Accedian's SkyLIGHT provides
Lanner's x86 uCPE service provider customers with the ability to
establish 24x7 network performance visibility for managing SLAs and
diagnosing the root cause of performance issues.

"Virtualization brings cost reduction and greater service agility,
but this must not come at the cost of service quality; performance
assurance is absolutely vital in creating the maximum value from
virtualized services," said Sven Freudenfeld, Director Global
Business Development Telecom Applications, Lanner Electronics Inc.
"Customers are using our x86 vCPE and uCPE platforms in a variety of
deployment models, and Accedian's virtualized SkyLIGHT platform now
allows us to bring virtualized performance assurance capabilities to
our customers, while also preserving native diagnostic,
troubleshooting, and SLA assurance in their traditional demarcation
devices."

Accedian SkyLIGHT extends virtualized instrumentation layer
capabilities and includes service assurance, monitoring of bandwidth
usage, service activation testing, and network fault isolation.
Thanks to SkyLIGHT's virtualized platform, service providers running
and managing vCPE or uCPE deployments with multiple enterprise
customers will be able to monitor network performance regardless of
the mix of deployment models, and can manage SkyLIGHT remotely in the
same manner as other virtualized network functions.

SkyLIGHT employs NFV performance monitoring (PM) capabilities-both
for mesh and hub-spoke type of active testing. This dramatically
enhances the scalability and pervasiveness of existing one-way
performance monitoring, with a hardware-assist option that makes
virtual clock synchronization even more accurate-up to 10 times
better than competitors. Additionally, when deploying SkyLIGHT with
the Accedian Nano module (https://accedian.com/library/?_sft_libraryc
ategory=data-sheet+modules#summary-datasheet-nano-module), it offers
features such as integrated MEF CE2.0 demarcation, remote packet
capture
(https://accedian.com/solutions/applications/remote-packet-capture/)
and bandwidth utilization monitoring (https://accedian.com/library/?_
sf_s=FlowMETER#solution-brief-flowmeter-2017-1q) capabilities to the
vCPE platform.

"SkyLIGHT has already been adopted by more than a dozen tier one
mobile network operators who need our solution to assure their
virtualized networks. Enterprise services are also undergoing radical
virtualization and the service providers that support them need
performance assurance solutions to match," said Patrick Ostiguy, CEO,
Accedian. "Our partnership with Lanner will ensure that its many
customers that are already building virtualized services, or those
that are planning to do so, will have immediate access to the world's
first fully-virtualized network performance assurance solution."

Accedian's SkyLIGHT platform has won multiple industry awards
(https://accedian.com/about-us/awards/) from industry bodies and
programs including MEF, the Fierce Innovation Awards, and
Telecoms.com, marking its place as the leading virtualized platform
for network performance assurance. Fifteen of the world's top 20
operators (including Reliance Jio (https://www.jio.com/) and
Telefonica (https://www.telefonica.com/en/)) use Accedian SkyLIGHT to
ensure visibility of their next-generation fixed and mobile networks.
