  • APS Networks® Launches Three TIP Openbng Programmable Switches to Boost the Disaggregated Telco Broadband Market
    APS Networks® launches three TIP OpenBNG programmable switches to boost the disaggregated telco broadband market. Operators gain further product alternatives right down to the chip level, supporting multi-sourcing strategies for Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) and hybrid use case requirements. The APS Networks® OpenBNG devices are based on Intel Tofino P4-programmable Ethernet switch ASICs, Stratix 10 MX FPGAs and Intel Xeon D Scalable processors. Stuttgart, Germany – June 16th, 2021 – APS Networks® launches three BNG switches which aim to comply with the Telecom Infra Project’s (TIP) OpenBNG requirements, enabling customers to choose between the TIP standard configurations (SC) SC-1, SC-2 and SC-3 leaf designs that best address end user demands. This provides operators flexible deployment options covering full-functionality deployments and service-only BNG deployments and leaf-spine configuration alternatives. TIP OpenBNG is an initiative within the Open Optical & Packet Transport (OOPT) Project Group’s Disaggregated Open Routers (DOR) sub-group. The participating operators in the Project Group are currently preparing a joint Request for Information (RFI) for OpenBNG, leading to test and validation activities and the awarding of TIP badges later in the year for compliant solutions. The OpenBNG initiative is backed by leading operators such as BT, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Vodafone Group. Disaggregated and open BNGs allow operators a choice of different hardware platforms and types of network operating system (NOS) and control plane applications they want to use. This agility results in a lower total cost of ownership, ultimately leading to a lower cost per broadband subscriber and reduces dependencies on individual monolithic suppliers.

Whether at an established corporation, or at a startup operating out of a dorm room, innovators share some traits: Innovators solve problems and invent things. They tirelessly look for ways to improve. So, I think, in order to teach innovation, we must embrace it ourselves. That’s why we have created a new academic program and formed a new partnership. It is with Berkeley is one of great enthusiasm that I’m looking forward to receiving the applications for the inau- gural class of the Management, Entrepreneurship, & Technology (M.E.T.) program, only two institutions which will launch next fall. Working in collaboration with the Haas School of Business, we will give M.E.T. undergraduates a more comprehensive and holistic look at the way innovative thinking in the world offering can lead to impact. They will be able to graduate with two degrees, one in business and one in engineering, in four years. this kind of program. The new program adds to the college’s already thriving innovation ecosystem. Our Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership and Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, along with many campus partners, are all working in concert to meet the growing demands of our students looking for a technically focused, yet multidisciplinary education.

  • The Open Compute Project
    W1C.5.pdf OFC 2018 © OSA 2018 What is the Open Compute Project? The Open Compute Project (OCP), a 501(c)(6) organization, is a collaborative global community of technology leaders working together on redesigning hardware technology to efficiently support the growing demands on compute infrastructure. OCP is reimagining hardware, making it more efficient, flexible, and scalable to achieve greater choice, customization and cost savings. OCP today is hundreds of active member companies, and thousands of design engineers collaborating to improve infrastructure design. We believe that openly sharing ideas, specifications, and other intellectual property is the key to maximizing innovation and reducing complexity in tech components. The Open Compute Project Foundation provides a structure in which individuals and organizations can share their intellectual property with others and encourage the IT industry to evolve. In designing commodity hardware that is more efficient, flexible, and scalable, we’re redefining tech infrastructure. Together, we’re throwing off the shackles of proprietary, one-size-fits-all gear. As technologists across industries participate in this community, we are creating and refining more designs, making it possible for more companies to transition from their old, proprietary solutions to OCP gear. In response, hardware manufacturers are changing their offerings to keep up with our innovations and meet the market’s changing needs and expectations. We know that as we move more services to the cloud, handle more data, and bring connectivity to the world, we must do it in the most efficient, economical, and sustainable way. Hardware must become a commoditized and evolving set of products optimized for these challenges.
