Open source software that will test your BNG to the limits!

RtBrick was recently featured in a report published by global technology research firm Omdia, highlighting the trend towards the ‘cloudification’ of next-gen networks.

With disaggregation, it’s great to have a flexible and open choice of networking hardware. But what are the considerations for selecting one platform over another?

Four of the world’s telecom giants have collaborated to write a joint positioning paper that emphasises the need for Open BNG software to replace monolithic systems.

Analogies between telecoms networks and road networks are hardly a new thing - just think back to the ‘information superhighway’. Well, here's a new one...

How network disaggregation can give telcos the best of both world's - low-cost hardware from South-East Asia and network security from a country of their choice
