Supports an efficient transition into an
internet service provider through unparalleled support, open
solutions and flexible technology
Radisys® Corporation, a global leader of open telecom solutions,
today announced its collaboration with BridgeNET Communications, an
emerging provider of broadband services with a history steeped in
layer one construction, to expand BridgeNET into an internet
service provider with open and flexible networking solutions and
customer-focused support. Utilizing Radisys’ open-standards-based
Connect Open Broadband portfolio of flexible broadband solutions
and integration expertise, Radisys has enabled BridgeNET to
efficiently transition from a Layer 1 construction company to an
internet service provider with Layer 2 and Layer 3 equipment
proficiency.
While transitioning into a digital service provider, BridgeNET
sought a partner capable of providing extensive support and
guidance as well as experience and knowledge with Layer 2 and Layer
3 equipment management. Radisys was able to provide extensive
support through BridgeNET’s transformation, working collaboratively
through every step of the process to ensure that BridgeNET had
insight into its network capabilities and was fully equipped to
take advantage of the open-source, flexible tools offered in
Radisys’ Connect Open Broadband portfolio.
Creating a Symbiotic Collaboration through Extensive
Customer-Focused Support
Radisys has supported BridgeNET extensively through various
levels of its operation establishment, offering guidance and
training on hardware and software tools for seamless integration
with BridgeNET’s OSS/BSS and efficient service activations for
BridgeNET’s customers. Through Radisys’ customer-focused service
approach and efficient integration process that extends beyond the
supply chain, BridgeNET has been able to efficiently transform into
a digital service provider, gaining extensive knowledge of Layer 2
and Layer 3 equipment.
Flexible and Efficient Tools with Seamless Service
Turn-Up
Connect Open Broadband’s open architecture, open platforms, and
open source APIs enable BridgeNET’s in-house developers to
integrate their own tools while taking advantage of open source
capabilities and gaining deeper insight into their network. The
deployment process with Radisys’ cloud-native Connect Broadband
Access Controller (CBAC) intelligent software platform is now
incredibly efficient, simplifying service activations and improving
flexibility using the software tools from Radisys. Additionally,
the Radisys Management System (RMS) provides enhanced network
features like performance and fault management, analytics and
reporting applications, to increase the efficiency of network
management and meet customer needs.
“Radisys has provided our organization with an unparalleled
level of support that you don’t receive from other vendors,” said
Taylor Brown, Founder and CEO, BridgeNET Solutions. “Radisys helped
us overcome every hurdle and demonstrated a level of expertise that
made BridgeNET’s transition from a primarily construction company
to an internet service provider into an efficient and streamlined
process.”
"We are pleased with this opportunity to partner with BridgeNET
Communications as it bridges the digital divide for rural
customers," said Harris Razak, Head of Broadband Access and
Americas Sales, Radisys. "Radisys’ Connect Open Broadband solution
is perfectly suited for rural deployments, providing robust and
operationally efficient networks that expedite new service
introduction. With Radisys’ open interfaces and solutions, we are
confident that BridgeNET can deploy complete end-to-end broadband
solutions with the built-in flexibility to serve their rural
customers cost-effectively well into the future."
