Sven Freudenfeld of Lanner Electronics
Prodapt, a consulting, technology, and network services provider to Digital Service Providers (DSPs), has formed a partnership with Lanner Electronics, provider of scalable and customisable edge computing platforms.
The partnership will offer DSPs and enterprises pre-integrated synergetic solutions in the areas of 5G, multi-access edge computing (MEC), universal CPEs (uCPE), managed SD-WAN services.
Prodapt OVX automation & network cloud integration accelerators enable DSPs to build cloud agnostic edge infrastructure, with hyperscalers and/or use pre-packaged best-of-breed MEC solutions from the OVX marketplace technology vendors. This enables DSPs to onboard businesses, launch new telco-edge enabled 5G apps/services and recognise new revenues faster while creating differentiation.
With Prodapt’s OVX DSPs will have access to ready-for-service, pre-vetted Lanner’s HTCA MEC platforms.
Focused on service agility and velocity, the Prodapt’s partnership with Lanner will help DSPs shorten the time to market of new virtualised and cloud services to a variety of industry verticals, such as healthcare, gaming, immersive video, security, IoT/IIoT, and 5G broadcast.
“Over the past four years, Lanner has developed a comprehensive whitebox portfolio addressing a variety of virtual edge services, such as uCPE, SD-WAN, 5G and MEC. To enable agile service deployment in SDN framework, service providers require not only high-density compute resources but also network programmability,” says Sven Freudenfeld, CTO of Lanner Electronics Telecom Application Business Unit. “Combining Prodapt’s OVX accelerators, Lanner’s strong SDN/NFV ecosystem and programmable network fabric will help DSPs accelerate the deployment cycle and reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of new service rollouts.”
“This partnership is aiming to enable DSPs to quickly deploy their unique software-defined network services” comments Rajiv Papneja, SVP & Global Head of Network Services. “We are excited to partner and host Lanner’s modular MEC Platforms HTCA series in Prodapt’s OVX marketplace, pre-integrated with our accelerators including hybrid network automation, eye-on-the-net analytics tools, and solution testing pipelines. With system integration support, DSPs can now achieve cost efficiency while bringing service agility in cloud-native, open software-defined networks.”
