Software-Defined Access Networks

Software-defined access networking (SDAN) is a powerful strategic advantage in the broadband market. This report from Analysys Mason explains the challenges and opportunities that SDAN addresses and how operators can leverage its powerful automation capabilities to streamline operations, lower costs, create revenues, and differentiate themselves in a highly competitive business environment.

The heart of Nokia’s SDAN solution is the Altiplano Access Controller. This cloud-native platform offers a complete suite of network management as well as SDN control functions to run a broadband network.

It provides operators a single view to manage fixed services, leveraging policy-driven operations, powerful intent life-cycle management and real-time automation across a multi-vendor, multi-technology network.

To create an autonomous broadband network, based on open and standardized interfaces for cloud control and multivendor interoperability, explore the Nokia SDAN solution.  

Geert Heyninck, VP Broadband Networks, talks about software-defined networking, network automation and cloudification in access.

He explains how Nokia Altiplano gives operators the flexibility they need and how Nokia opens up their Altiplano platform with industry's first app marketplace for network automation, giving operators the ability to customize and build unique SDN-enabled applications to automate, analyze and gain new revenues from their networks.

Advanced automation relies on advanced telemetry to provide access to real-time data which is structured and ready for use by systems. This white paper details the principles of data governance and scalability behind modern push-based streaming telemetry, illustrated with real-world use cases.
