Access Networks

For operators, having scalable, reliable and easily managed access network infrastructure is essential because it enables them to offer services to enterprise and residential customers. While modern, competitive access infrastructure is essential, carriers face relentless pressure to reduce both capex and opex on a per-megabit basis while delivering higher bandwidth and better quality of service than ever before.

To deliver higher bandwidth, operators are leveraging advances in technology including XGS-PON for fiber, DOCSIS 4.0 for cable and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) built on newer 5G networks. In addition, building a better customer experience requires operators to go beyond the “last mile” to the “last meter” and offer a Fiber To The room (FTTr) approach in today’s competitive market.

To effectively monetize investment, such modern access infrastructures must also deliver better quality of service. Better quality depends on high reliability, high security, effective synchronization of the networks and carrier-class service delivery.

Thanks to industry-leading technologies and a sophisticated product portfolio, we are at the forefront of supporting OEMs in building and deploying modern access infrastructure. Our portfolio for access network infrastructure includes FPGA-based solutions for XGS-PON, Ethernet switches with built-in TSN features, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Timing over Packet (ToP) solutions that are IEEE^® 1588- and SyncE-certified, timing and synchronization systems and related management software.
