STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Enea® (NASDAQ
Stockholm: ENEA), a global supplier of network software platforms
and world class services, and Advantech today announce a
partnership around lightweight NFV Infrastructure solutions
focusing on the Enea® NFV Access virtualization software platform
running on Advantech's second generation of network appliances for
uCPE and SD-WAN.
"The partnership between Enea and Advantech brings unique value
to entry level uCPE and SD-WAN use cases with our extremely low
footprint solution," said Thibaut Bechetoille, SVP of Enea's NFV
Business Unit. "Together, we provide best-in-class networking
characteristics with cost-effective uCPE hardware utilization, and
allow carriers and enterprises to scale from low-spec Intel® Atom™
based equipment to Intel® Xeon® Scalable class deployments."
"Entry-level NFVI cost barriers need to be lowered if the
industry is to successfully apply a slim uCPE or SD-WAN approach to
business areas such as retail and point of sales." James Yang, VP Advantech Networks &
Communications Group. "Our combined offering provides system
integrators and carriers alike with verified NFVI platforms that
can address a broader range of applications from enterprise IoT and
retail to SD-Branch; using more sustainable and scalable
solutions."
Enea NFV Access is a virtualization platform that improves
cost-effectiveness utilizing lower-spec hardware while benefiting
from carrier grade throughput and reliability. It brings
best-in-class characteristics for customers to enable optimized
uCPE hardware while unleashing both business and technical agility.
Enea NFV Access provides NETCONF EdgeLink and Zero Touch
Provisioning, and scales from entry-level Intel® Atom™ for customer
premise needs to high-end Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors for
provider edge deployment.
The Advantech FWA-T011 is a Tiny Network Appliance based on the
2-core Intel® Celeron® N3350 and 4-core Pentium® N4200 for
entry-level uCPE and SD-WAN. It is an Industry-standard x86
platform targeting SOHO and small enterprise installations with
four RJ45 GbE ports for LAN or WAN connectivity and an optional
module for Wi-Fi. An additional mobile network module and SIM card
slot supports a 4G/LTE WAN uplink for cloud connectivity.
The higher spec FWA-1012VC is a uCPE device with Intel® Atom™
Processor C3000 for uCPE and SD-WAN deployment. It includes an
Intel® Atom® C3000 System-on-Chip with 2, 4, or 8 cores and Intel®
QuickAssist Technology. The device supports flexible RAM capacities
with ECC and multiple solid state drives (SSD) via SATA and/or M.2
interfaces for reliability and high availability. Six integrated
GbE copper LAN ports and two optical SFP connections provide
sufficient wireline connectivity for most SME deployments.
The FWA-1012VC offers an optional integrated Wi-Fi access point
and 4G/LTE connectivity. The 4G/LTE option can provide failover
protection for the primary WAN connections and can also be used for
higher bandwidth bonding with the wireline WAN ports. In addition,
the FWA-1012VC offers optional dual-SIM capability for active/
standby and an optional cost saving PoE module that can power two
IEEE PoE+ (25.5W) ports without the need for a PoE+ switch.
