STL announced that it will test its programmable FTTx (pFTTx) software solution with Netomnia for their live networks in the UK.
STL is bringing software-defined networking to fibre to the home, cell sites and business networks through pFTTx. STL’s pFTTx is a software-defined, open, and disaggregated Passive Optical Network (PON) solution for fibre network operators.
STL and Netomnia have recently partnered for Optical Fibre deployment and are now collaborating to incorporate programmability into large-scale FTTx networks. This trial will pave the way for the adoption of advanced software-defined architectures for FTTx in the UK.
Jeremy Chelot, CEO of Netomnia, said: “The promise of fibre broadband will be realised when service providers implement advanced architectures that software-ise the fibre networks. This trial with STL will be significant as we will jointly demonstrate pFTTx in a live scenario.”
Chris Rice, CEO, Access Solutions, STL, said: “Our solution is intended to help them achieve accelerated network rollout with faster deployment, provisioning and enhanced network performance.”
