UTStarcom (“UTStarcom” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ:UTSI), a global
telecommunications infrastructure provider, today announced a
‘POC-ready’ release of its newest break-through platform: the
SkyFlux UAR series of routers, which are based on Segment Routing
over IPv6 data plane (“SRv6”) technology tightly integrated with
the Company’s SDN platform SOO Network.
UTStarcom's Chief Executive Officer Tim Ti
commented, “UTStarcom takes pride in effectively addressing the
evolving needs of our customers as well as the expectations of the
telecom market in general. With this major milestone, we are
introducing to complex telecom networks a highly efficient
networking platform that delivers all the benefits of SDN,
including high agility and automation, while significantly reducing
network complexity and optimizing operation and maintenance efforts
and costs.”
The benefits of SRv6 technology include:
- Significant reduction of network complexity
- Great network scalability
- Natural fit for SDN integration, enabling all benefits of
SDN
- Improved network utilization efficiency
- Great network and service agility
- Seamless deployment, can coexist with existing IPv6
networks
The first product of the SkyFlux series available
for POC is the UAR500 – a high-performance aggregation router
positioned for metro traffic aggregation, DCI, 4/5G backhaul and
other applications. Major product features include:
- SRv6 forwarding plane, support of SRH, programming etc.
- 800Gbps capacity
- Interfaces up to 100GE
- Range of supported services including VPLS, VPWS, IPv4 L3VPN,
IPv6 L3VPN, Carrier Ethernet 2.0 compliant services etc.
- Modular full-redundant chassis, 5RU
- Tight SDN integration, NETCONF/YANG support
To highlight the new product, UTStarcom
participated in the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress 2018
interoperability showcase in Paris, organized by the European
Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC). During the showcase,
which ran from April 10 to 13, UTStarcom participated in live
multi-vendor demonstrations of the latest SRv6 technology.
Prior to the live demo in Paris, UTStarcom joined a
range of interoperability tests with a number of vendors during a
hot staging lab testing event organized by EANTC that took place in
Berlin from March 5 to 16. UTStarcom participated in tests
that covered several areas of interest:
- IPv6 segment routing (SRv6) – SRv6 Data Plane, L3VPN over SRv6
Core
- Segment routing fault management and resiliency – TI-LFA in
SRv6 Network
- SDN with NETCONF/YANG models – L2VPN and L3VPN service setup by
SDN Controller using NETCONF/YANG
- Clock synchronization – Phase/Time Synchronization with Source
Failover
Mr. Ti continued, “The inclusion of SRv6 into the
scope of the highly-regarded EANTC interoperability tests this year
demonstrates the growing traction of this new technology. The
industry is clearly getting ready for adoption of a promising
technology, and we are very excited to be one of the first to
support it in our products. This demonstration of
fully-functional SRv6 solution effectively positions UTStarcom as a
leading force in the introduction of SRv6.”
