MENLO PARK, California, December 1, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Netsia Inc. (Netsia) and the Open networks foundation (ONF) today announced its latest software-defined network operator deployment with Türk Telekom, Turkey World-class, first and largest integrated telecom operator. With the implementation of Netsia Broadband Suite (Netsia BB Suite), the ONF, Türk Telekom and Netsia are pursuing the development of a disaggregated fixed broadband access network based on the SDN compatible broadband access (SEBA) reference architecture throughout Turkey.

The open and disaggregated SEBA architecture allows operators to choose components from different vendors, providing them with choice and flexibility throughout the lifespan of the deployment. This translates into significant savings, increased flexibility, lock-out avoidance and a better overall customer experience.

Netsia, a Türk Telekom company and one of the main contributors to the ONF’s SEBA / VOLTHA platform, offers its BB suite with carrier-class capabilities. BB Suite is a telecom level solution for broadband access which is being deployed by Türk Telekom and which will extend to one million households across Turkey. Netsia’s field-proven access technology is supported by end-to-end lifecycle management of access network devices. It enables multi-vendor deployment of fixed access network capabilities and, through software-defined network capabilities, enables service deployment, capacity allocation / reallocation, and rapid issue resolution.

After 18 months of small-scale production network testing, Netsia now operates Türk Telekom’s virtual broadband access network as a new platform with full backend integration including OSS / BSS. In addition to the impressive download speeds, the network supports multimedia services – which the pandemic has shown us to be essential for several use cases such as distance education and working from home. In addition, thanks to virtualization technology, Türk Telekom has prepared its fiber infrastructure for the upcoming demands of 5G networks.
