Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) will showcase its new Entra vPON Manager cloud-based XGS-PON platform supporting multi-dwelling unit (MDU) solutions at Fiber Connect this week.

Entra vPON Manager gives operators robust XGS-PON subscriber management and service provisioning capabilities with back-office management integration that supports MDU subscribers. Through integration with Service Activation Center (SAC) from Incognito Software Systems Inc., subscriber service activation with the Vecima All-PON™ solution now includes MDU multi-tenant ONU port activation and provisioning.

The Entra® Open Network Ecosystem supports the Hitron NOVA2208 ONU device uniquely designed for MDU and business service subscribers. With up to eight subscriber service ports, the NOVA2208 is ideally suited to the managed demarcation point in MDUs with in-building service distribution and in-premises TR-069/USP-369 customer gateways.

“Incognito’s SAC integration with Vecima and Hitron for XGS-PON operators is tailored to meet the needs of MDU deployments, accelerating new subscriber additions and simplifying back-office operations for our customers,” said Craig Sinasac, Head of Product at Incognito.

“Hitron has been an early partner in Vecima’s Open Network Ecosystem, with our family of PON Single Family Units and PON Multi-Dwelling Units,” said Dave Michaud, Vice President, Engineering Hitron Technologies. “This is enabling us to reach more opportunities and build creative customer solutions, including today’s NOVA2208 for MDU deployments.”

“Vecima’s Entra EXS1610 All-PON™ Shelf is the first ITU-PON platform supported with Entra vPON Manager, combining scalability with operational simplicity for fiber-to-the-home deployments,” said Vijay Raman, Vice President of PON Product Line Management at Vecima Networks. “The MDU solution we have built with Incognito Software and Hitron demonstrates our commitment to open integration and best-in-class options for multiple residential and business customers for Broadband Service Providers.”

The Vecima Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) product portfolio, recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the global market share leader in Remote MACPHY and Remote OLT solutions from 2021-2024, is deployed by operators around the world. Learn more at vecima.com/broadband-access.
