Infinera and SIAE MICROELETTRONICA Demonstrate SDN-enabled Multi-domain Service Orchestration for 5G Networks
June 10 2019 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) and SIAE MICROELETTRONICA, a leader in
wireless communications, announced today the successful completion
of end-to-end, software-defined networking (SDN)-enabled service
orchestration across integrated IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) transport and microwave/millimeter-wave transport domains.
Conducted in collaboration with a leading Tier 1 mobile operator,
this proof of concept trial showcased the ability of network
operators to simplify and automate multi-domain, multi-vendor
operations as mobile networks evolve to support new high-capacity,
latency-sensitive 5G services.
The trial featured seamless interworking of the SIAE
MICROELETTRONICA SM-DC microwave domain controller, Infinera IP
domain controller, SIAE MICROELETTRONICA AGS20 Layer3 microwave
platform, Infinera Transcend Orchestrator, and Infinera 8600 Smart
Router Series IP/MPLS platforms. Leveraging open, standards-based
application programming interfaces, the integrated IP/MPLS and
microwave transport solution provided a multi-domain, multi-vendor
framework for a wide variety of SDN-enabled service creation and
traffic management use cases, including:
- Network and service discovery and
visualization, including discovery of inventory of network
elements, link topology (Layers 0-3), and network services (Layers
2-3)
- End-to-end multi-domain service provisioning,
including Layer 2 Ethernet pseudowire and Layer 3 IP virtual
private networks over microwave links
- Closed-loop automation and multi-domain
optimization, including the automatic shaping of IP layer
traffic based on microwave modulation and bandwidth changes
In addition to reducing operational expenses via simplified
operations and service provisioning, the integrated solution
enables network operators to reduce capital expenses by maximizing
the utilization of existing infrastructure as end-user capacity
demands scale.
“This solution builds upon our widely deployed Tier 1 edge
router solutions and provides an easy way to improve operational
efficiencies with an evolutionary approach to SDN migration that
leverages existing infrastructure,” said Mikko Hannula, Vice
President, Engineering and Product Management at Infinera. “Our
joint solution with SIAE MICROELETTRONICA brings a new level of
dynamic network optimization to multi-domain, multi-layer, and
multi-vendor networks while reinforcing the operational benefits of
open networking.”
“This implementation demonstrates how network resources can be
addressed to set up services in real time across different
transport technologies and network areas,” said Paolo Galbiati,
Product Line Management Director at SIAE MICROELETTRONICA. “This is
proof of how SDN can really serve operators in shaping their
networks and fully exploiting network potential.”
