At ANGA COM in Germany, Casa Systems announced the launch of its passive optical network (PON) and IP network solutions, including a range of software, hardware/software and virtualized products.

The company's 10G PON products include 10G EPON and GPON. Casa's 10G EPON portfolio includes both centralized and distributed PON solutions. The portfolio includes EPON OLT and ONU network elements, including an end-to-end DPoE (DOCSIS Provisioning over Ethernet) system. Casa's GPON portfolio includes solutions for centralized or distributed OLTs in a range of chassis-based and virtualized components, as well as ONTs. The portfolio is designed to support PON, XGPON, XGS-PON and NG-PON2.

The company's IP network products include networking software, an edge router and a gateway.

Casa's Networking Software, Cassini NetOS, runs routing, switching, security and subscriber management over hardware. Designed for service provider networks, Cassini extends Casa's network management solutions to wide area networks (WANs) and data centers.

The company's Rialto Service Provider Edge Router runs Cassini NetOS on a terabit-scale 1RU platform for intra-data center L2 switching, data center interconnect, and provider-edge routing. The router is designed to bring data center economics to the WAN.

The Axyom Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) is designed to provide enhanced subscriber and session management and Layer 2 / Layer 3 routing for xDSL or FTTX access technologies and to be deployed at the network edge or in a centralized cloud environment.

"In the ultra broadband era, service providers need a partner that is consistently at the forefront of each generation of technology allowing providers to unlock the full potential of their network and deliver the services their customers demand with solutions that protect their investments," said Jerry Guo, CEO at Casa Systems. "Our new IP network and 10G PON solutions are designed to support current and future network transformations and help service providers evolve their architecture for the next generation of possibilities in the most efficient and cost-effective way."

Casa demonstrations at ANGA COM will include a 10G PON DPoE system, virtualized fixed-mobile converged solution, DOCSIS 3.1 remote PHY solutions, and the Axyom Wireless Access Gateway (WAG).
