STL launches VMWare-powered programmable FTTx for broadband connectivity
MUMBAI, India, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    STL [https://stl.tech/] (NSE: STLTECH), an industry-leading integrator of 
digital networks, today announced general availability for Programmable FTTx 
(pFTTX), a software-defined, open, and disaggregated solution that will make 
fibre networks highly intelligent and responsive. The solution is now listed on 
VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure 2.0 OpenStack Edition Platform. STL has been 
a pioneer in optical connectivity for over 25 years. Now with the launch of 
this solution, STL is bringing software- defined networking to large scale 
fibre to the home, cell sites and business networks.

    With the rise of advanced consumer applications, networks need to be highly 
scalable and agile while delivering low latency and intelligence at the edge. 
Service providers need to accommodate these must-haves as well as have 
on-demand control over the entire network. STL's disruptive pFTTx solution, 
with many industry- firsts, enables cloud- native networks with open interfaces 
by disaggregating the software from the hardware layer. pFTTx offers core 
benefits like scalability, faster time-to-market and reduced TCO, ensuring a 
better customer experience.

    In addition, STL's VMware-powered pFTTx can be a path-breaking solution to 
solve the viability challenge in rural connectivity, thereby delivering the 
promise of gigabit broadband in the underserved areas, and transforming 
billions of lives.

    Speaking at the launch, Gaurav Agarwal, Sr. Director - Enterprise & 
Government Sales from VMware India, said: "We are excited to partner with STL 
for their pFTTx offering. STL pFTTx is certified on VMware Telco Cloud and is 
an ideal wireline access technology for enterprises that will help them 
leverage VMware Cloud for SDN and Micro-services-based applications. With 
pFTTx, customers can deploy next-generation XGSPON with VMware, enabling 
virtual infrastructure for one's Cloud Central Office."

    Commenting on the launch of pFTTx, Chris Rice, CEO, Access Solutions, STL, 
said: "pFTTX is a cloud-based access network solution that radically elevates 
the network service providers' business models. Leveraging VMWare's cloud 
platform, pFTTx becomes a platform that helps roll out XGSPON and also 
integrate with third-party applications to enhance the QoE and network 
performance. This helps the customers with better TCO, new revenue streams and 
improves operational efficiency. "
