IP Infusion’s OcNOS® delivers seamless integration with deployment simplicity and quick time to market

IP Infusion, a leading provider of network disaggregation solutions for telecom and data communications operators, today announced that uGrid Network Inc., a global telecommunications and broadband connection device provider, has selected IP Infusion’s OcNOS® bundled with UfiSpace’s white box to expand uGrid’s bandwidth and network capabilities.

Founded in 2016, uGrid Network is one of the leading suppliers of CATV, FTTH/HFC products in North America and across the world. The British Columbia-based uGrid chose the IP Infusion custom network operating package to realize a multitude of benefits, including a dramatic site-to-site ring capacity upgrade that boosts connectivity speed from 1G to 100G.

The IP Infusion OcNOS solution with UfiSpace’s S9500-30XS also enables uGrid’s extensive deployment of open and disaggregated transport network services, faster convergence of redundant links during link failover and a seamless integration into uGrid’s existing fiber networks. IP Infusion’s partner, EPS Global, a leading value-added distributor of a broad portfolio of traditional and open networking and whole-home broadband offerings, is the key distributor empowering this project.

“Not all disaggregated solutions are created equal. We selected IP Infusion because of its thorough alignment with our critical in-band management requirements and the highly appealing deployment simplicity,” said Joseph Chen, Chief Executive Officer, uGrid Network Inc. “Working with IP Infusion and its ecosystem partners allowed us to quickly confirm proof-of-concept and achieve a seamless integration that’s now transforming our network capabilities.”
