  • It is the focal point of Arrcus’ networking offering, combining 5G, multicloud connectivity, analytics, and management capabilities all rolled into a single platform on top of the company’s fundamental network operating system.
  • Arrcus will highlight new developments such as network slicing, which overlays numerous virtual networks on top of a shared network and computational resources, to let CSPs deliver 5G services, as one of the highlights.

Arrcus Inc., a hyper-scale networking software firm, recently announced that it would transform 5G networks to help communications service providers. It will offer a wide range of new services and generate revenue from its infrastructure at a significantly reduced total cost of ownership.

At the MWC 2023 mobile world conference in Barcelona, the company expects to present the latest version of its Arrcus Connected Edge platform along with a number of associated networking services.

A highly programmable, cloud-native solution called the ACE platform is intended to update 5G networks from the edge to various clouds. It is the focal point of Arrcus’ networking offering, combining 5G, multicloud connectivity, analytics, and management capabilities all rolled into a single platform, on top of the company’s fundamental network operating system.

Many next-generation networking use cases, like multi-access edge computing and 5G-XHaul for Open RAN, enable CSPs to construct a cutting-edge, open 5G network utilizing non-proprietary components, by using the ACE platform. It additionally can handle service provider aggregation with core and edge routing, multicloud networking, and hyperscale data center networking.

The most significant network providers in the communications sector will come together at MWC 2023 to support cloud service providers or CSPs, according to Arrcus Chief Executive and Chairman Shekar Ayyar. He said, “We look forward to demonstrating what makes Arrcus networking unique for CSPs to unify and simplify their infrastructure, lower their capital and operational networking expenses, and drive greater value from their network investments through new services.”

Arrcus will highlight new developments such as network slicing, which overlays numerous virtual networks on top of a shared network and computing resources, in order to let CSPs deliver 5G services, as one of the highlights. Through specific regulations for each network slice, CSPs will be able to roll out new services much more quickly than they could in the past. It will also emphasize its distinct multi-access edge compute capabilities, which enable CSPs to deploy network resources closer to end users to power low-latency, high-performance applications.

These cutting-edge capabilities, according to Arrcus, are made possible by its new SRv6 technology with Flex-Algo. In collaboration with SoftBank Group Corp., it will showcase SRv6 for Mobile User Plane, an MPLS-based routing technology that enables CSPs to create more adaptable and effective networks at MWC 2023. Multiprotocol label switching, or MPLS, is a networking technique that uses labels rather than network addresses to transport data along the shortest path possible.

The company will simultaneously demonstrate its FlexMCN solution for hyperscale data centers and cloud operators. With hyper-scale-level performance and robust security, FlexMCN is a platform that connects enterprise-scale data centers with any cloud.

Delivering multicloud connectivity-as-a-service and other managed services is made simple for CSPs and colocation providers by its multitenancy and role-based access restrictions.

According to the manufacturer, FlexMCN can interact with third-party orchestration and management platforms because it is built on an application programming interface-first design.

The new advances from Arrcus appear promising, according to Roy Chua, founder, and lead analyst at AvidThink LLC, because network operators need help to monetize their infrastructures and raise average income per user through cutting-edge new services. The industry has a critical requirement to integrate networks from the edge to the cloud.

Chua said, “This requires a more flexible, programmable approach. We are excited to see Arrcus delivering new software-defined capabilities with its ACE platform to help operators overcome their challenges.”
