Iskratel, the leading European vendor of broadband solutions, and AVM, the leading manufacturer of broadband devices for DSL, cable, LTE, and fibre optics in Germany and Europe, today announced successful interoperability of Iskratel’s OLT with AVM’s ONT.

After the implementation plan for the selected measures received a positive assessment from the external auditors, Iskratel was awarded the “Family-Friendly Enterprise” basic certificate.

Iskratel, the leading European provider of communications solutions for the digital transformation, will show how operators can achieve virtualised, cloud-based and Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter^® (CORD^®)-compliant infrastructures – without the cost of replacing hardware – when it demonstrates its brand-new dual-nature GPON and XGS-PON Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) at Broadband World Forum 2018.

Operators looking to seamlessly upgrade their networks to virtualised, cloud-based infrastructures finally have the right tools at their disposal, as Iskratel today announced two new edge-computing solutions – including a one-of-a-kind “amphibian” GPON OLT.

IoT solution has already prevented four potential rail incidents and will be showcased at InnoTrans 2018.

As operators look to cut their costs, Iskratel’s Strategic and Business Development Director has today cautioned operators against simply looking at the price tag of equipment, warning that cheaper items could end up costing between 300% and 800% more than the initial capex saving.

One of the leading Central European cable and satellite operators has successfully completed the testing of a hybrid last-mile broadband solution jointly provided by digital transformation leader Iskratel and Teleste, a specialist in broadband video and data communication systems and services.

Iskratel, the leading European provider of communications solutions for the digital transformation, today announced its Innbox G108 home gateway is being used in a next-generation PON trial by one of the leading EMEA Tier-1 operators involved in the ONF CORD^® (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter^®) project.

Operators should avoid blindly implementing off-the-shelf automation solutions if they want to see significant reductions in their Operational Expense (OpEx), Iskratel’s CTO warned today.

Operators looking to unleash the full potential of next-generation PON technologies such as XGS-PON and NG-PON2 should wisely consider a period of co-existence between PON generations to ensure a gradual migration with minimum service disruption, Iskratel’s CTO said today.
