Ribbon IP Wave rNOS Optimized for Multi-Access Edge, Aggregation and Transport
Telecoms services are becoming increasingly complex, demanding ever-increasing bandwidth and service performance guarantees. To keep pace with this exponential traffic growth and complexity a better backhaul transport network is required. This new backhaul transport must have the agility to provide the scalability, fast convergence, ease of configuration and service performance required to support the new services cost effectively.
Ribbon is addressing these market demands by developing a disaggregated, open, standards-based NOS portfolio, flexible enough to support “right-size” scaling supporting multiple hardware sizes. The NOS software is optimized to support multi-access edge platforms and larger platforms used for aggregation and transport.
