AnD – mobilising network documentation AND Solution will be presenting the latest version (4.10) of its
calix launch AxoS for access network virtualisation
Broadband equipment vendor, Calix, has launched the AXOS (Access eXtensible Operating System), a Linux-based network operating system and software platform which has been designed to bring SDN to the access network. The AXOS platform is a set of modular, reusable software components that are able to run on technologically diverse hardware, without modification. The components, that ride on top of a unique hardware abstraction layer that preserves software independence from the underlying hardware, support virtualised operation of management and control functions, allowing users maximum flexibility in network design and deployment methods. In-service upgrade capabilities and built-in logic have been designed to eliminate service disruptions, automatically recover from faults and prevent side effects caused by new software functions or human error. “For over a decade now, Calix has been in pursuit of a unified access infrastructure that would seamlessly connect the device- enabled subscriber to the applications and content in the cloud,” said Michel Langlois, senior vice president of systems products at Calix. “With AXOS, we now have a single software platform that places the communication service provider in the unique position to distribute services and intelligence across the entire access network with a distributed architecture. Thus, each service provider armed with the AXOS platform can choose between a wide spectrum of system form factors and merchant silicon capabilities, a key advantage and critical success factor in building service velocity and creating competitive advantage.” Currently supported on the Calix E5-520, E5-308, and E5-306 MEF CE 2.0-certified systems, there are plans to expand AXOS support to other E-Series systems in the future. StAnD g08 Commscope present expanded fibre portfolio For the first time, CommScope’s fibre indexing solution combines the advantages of a daisy chain topology in the access network
software solution for the design, documentation and operations support of access networks. Access networks, like
FTTH, G.fast, and DOCSIS cable, constantly change as they grow and evolve, and ensuing modifications require planning based on reliable and accurate documentation. Such documentation is also essential for effective maintenance. AND provides the ideal solution, accompanying the operator throughout the life cycle of their network. With an ever-growing emphasis on interactive mobile applications for field staff, the AND team will provide ‘on-stand’ demonstrations as to how these contribute to the efficiency of day-to-day operations as well as helping to ensure documentation quality. Armed with Android tablets, iPads, Windows notebooks, etc. field technicians can immediately access the latest network data such as splice plans, in-building documentation, etc. It’s just a case of pressing the GPS button or entering a street address and, since no AND data is stored locally, there are no data security issues. In addition, users can also readily access documents such as permits, relevant instructions and photos, view real-time states of network components, locate fibre breakages, jump to other network sections and much more. Redlining functions help keep network documentation up-to-date and allow technicians to promptly forward vital audits and corrections to their office colleagues for post-processing. Updates can normally be returned within minutes. So, no more costly A0 coffee-stained printouts with often illegible scribbled corrections and comments; no more waiting for weeks or even months for redlinings (with some by then obsolete or redundant) to make their way back to the planners and documenters; no more documents lost or damaged. StAnD B41 Avm present fRitZ!Box AVM, the German based broadband device provider and manufacturer of the popular FRITz!Box range, will present its first design for FTTH connections at this year’s event. The new FRITZ!Box 5490 for fibre optics combines everything that makes the FRITZ!Box 7490, the established flagship for DSL, successful - Gigabit speed, cutting-edge hardware, free FRITz!Apps and the diversity of FRITz!OS –with higher speed and greater range in the home network, through wireless AC with 1300 Mbit/s and wireless N with 450 Mbit/s. For convenient telephony in HD, the new FRITz!Box 5490 incorporates a telephone system with answering machines, an integrated DECT base station and connection options for analogue, ISDN and IP telephones. The powerful media server streams music, images, and video throughout the entire home network. The FRITZ!Box 5490 supports simplified provisioning on the basis of the CPE WAN management protocol (DSL-Forum TR-069), easing the implementation of provider services like Internet, IP TV and Voice over IP.

with hardened connectivity. This allows organisations to deploy fibre faster, reduce the amount of cable required by up to 70 percent and eliminate the need for fibre splicing. The daisy chain topology reduces the amount of cable needed and hardened multi-fibre
optical connectors substantially eliminate laborious and costly fibre splicing, thus speeding deployment and reducing overall costs. CommScope will also share their latest developments in fibre closures, terminals with hardened connectivity and a new range of specialty cables at this year’s event. The FACT Optical Distribution Frame enables faster and easier installation in a high density environment and features smart fibre management. Quareo physical layer management allows instant visibility of unauthorised physical intrusion, activity awareness control, and automatic documentation changes. For customer premises, new floor boxes help to connect customers faster. StAnD g12
