Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) will showcase its new Entra vPON Manager, cloud-based XGS-PON platform at ANGA COM and Fiber Connect in June.

Entra vPON Manager gives operators robust XGS-PON subscriber management and service provisioning capabilities, plus back-office management integration with telemetry support, and a simplified, interactive web user interface. It integrates seamlessly with BSPs’ back-office management tools and incorporates a cloud-native microservices architecture that works across integrated and disaggregated Vecima PON solutions.

In addition, with the Entra Open Network Ecosystem (ONE), operators get best-in-class support for third-party ONTs/ONUs, ensuring no single PON vendor lock-in to specific customer premises equipment (CPE) and enables industry-leading investment protection. New ONT/ONU vendors are added regularly, based on industry standards.

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. The EXS1610 supports multiple PON types, including ITU XGS-PON and IEEE 10G-Ethernet PON (10G EPON).

The EXS1610 All-PON Shelf enables BSPs to cost effectively deploy Fiber services in any outside plant, market or hub deployment, allowing maximum flexibility. With a temperature-hardened, 16-port, 1 rack unit form factor, the EXS1610 supports multiple use cases, including greenfield, targeted brownfields, rural edge-outs, hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) overbuilds, footprint extensions, and hub collapses.

“Vecima’s ‘All-PON’ approach is rooted in our guiding principle of delivering open, flexible, and interoperable solutions that enable our customers to future-proof their access networks and select a PON management solution and ONT vendor of their choice,” said Vijay Raman, Vice President of Product Line Management at Vecima. “Designed from the ground up with Entra ONE, our platform supports interoperability, advanced management capabilities and seamless integration through industry leading technology and market partnerships.”
