Continuous investment in the development and protection of telecommunications infrastructure is a core principle at EXATEL. In 2023, we partnered with IP Infusion, a leading provider of carrier-grade network software, whose OcNOS solution has become an integral part of our Software Defined Network (SDN) platform. Today, we can already report on the results of this collaboration.
What are the benefits of implementation?
The implementation of an open network architecture based on the OcNOS solution has allowed us to modernize our network, thus increasing the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of our services. The solution has been implemented in EXATEL’s network and is used to provide services to our customers both domestically and internationally. This implementation will translate into the ability to offer more personalized solutions to our clients in the corporate and government sectors, while significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) for the operator.
“With IP Infusion’s OcNOS, we have transformed our network into a modular, programmable platform that delivers unmatched flexibility and resilience,” said Jacek Terpiłowski, Vice President of the Management Board of EXATEL S.A.
Our developers (R&D), engineers (Network Planning), and IP Infusion Partners faced four main challenges:
- Increasing Service Flexibility | Enabling rapid deployment of services tailored to diverse customer needs.
- Developing a high-capacity network | Upgrading fiber optic links to 100G/400G to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications.
- Efficiency and cost-effectiveness | Maintaining high performance while optimizing costs to ensure sustainable development and competitive pricing.
- Optimizing the vendor ecosystem | Transitioning to a more open, multi-vendor environment, allowing us to increase control and negotiate better terms.
We achieved this successfully. At EXATEL, we implemented a solution based on open networking. Our SDN system currently operates as a reliable and efficient carrier-grade network for L2/L3 services, maintaining full compliance with MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet.
