Converged Access Network

Solutions for Access Network Infrastructure

For operators, having a scalable, reliable and easily managed access network infrastructure is essential, as the access network is what physically enables them to offer services to enterprise and residential customers. While modern, competitive access infrastructure is essential, carriers face relentless pressure to reduce cost per megabit both for capex and opex.

This drives the need to upgrade and deploy a converged access infrastructure supporting higher bandwidth and multiple different classes and types of services over a single fiber plant. Various 10G PON options (XG-PON / XGS-PON / NGPON2, etc.) enable deployment of such converged access infrastructure in a very cost effective manner. Such converged access infrastructures must support high reliability, high security, timing and synchronization and carrier class service delivery with Carrier Ethernet.

Microsemi is at the forefront of enabling such converged infrastructure, thanks to an array of industry leading technologies and product portfolio.
