Open network operating system (NOS) vendor IP Infusion has unveiled a new release of its OcNOS platform, OcNOS-SP 4. The NOS is designed for use with open network hardware, particularly system under development with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), such as the Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) and Cassini optical and packet transponder.
Main features of OcNOS-SP 4 IP Infusion identified includes:
- A control plane with “extensive” network virtualization features and enhanced standards-based Layer 2 and 3 protocol support
- The ability to enable standard, packet-based timing and synchronization in compliance with ITU G.8275.2, TIP Specification for DCSG, and mobile xHaul use cases
- Support of Ethernet virtual private networks (EVPNs) for normalized and scalable virtualization, traffic engineering for QoS enablement, and other protocol enhancements
- OpenConfig support
- Segment Routing (SR) and Path Computational Element Protocol (PCEP) support
- Support of tunable pluggable DWDM transceivers as well as Tibit’s MicroPlug SFP+ pluggable XGS-PON optical line terminal (see "Tibit Communications unveils MicroPlug 10G PON pluggable OLT"). OcNOS-SP 4 also will support UfiSpace’s latest DCSG hardware platform, the S9500-22XST.
“With OcNOS-SP 4, IP Infusion is raising the bar for disaggregation of the mobile network,” said Atsushi Ogata, president and CEO of IP Infusion. “OcNOS-SP 4 unleashes network innovation by enabling mobile operators with access to leading-edge technology, massive scalability, operational efficiency, and lower TCO, without any compromise.”
“The Telecom Infra Project is pleased to see IP Infusion delivering innovations that accelerate mobile transport disaggregation. OcNOS-SP 4 provides a common platform capable of supporting the diverse needs of DCSG, Cassini, and Phoenix,” added David Hutton, chief engineer, TIP.
