🚀 Openreach preps to boost network automation, visibility and control! In the ever-competitive UK broadband market, Openreach is taking bold steps to enhance automation, network visibility, and control for its full-fibre broadband and Ethernet networks. By deploying Nokia's Altiplano Access Controller, Openreach aims to streamline network management, enhance reliability through quicker fault identification, and reduce operational costs. This innovative move sets Openreach apart as a pioneer in utilising state-of-the-art SDN platforms. With the integration of Altiplano, Openreach's full-fibre FTTP network can now utilise a modern "leaf-spine-leaf architecture," managing clusters of Nokia equipment. This not only supports its next-generation Ethernet Access Direct 2 (EAD2) product but also introduces near real-time network performance insights through streaming telemetry. Altiplano's ability to simplify OSS via "intents" rather than intricate configurations promises more efficient network management and unprecedented service quality. Openreach's upcoming EAD2 product, rolling out in April 2025, will leverage this advanced cluster architecture for significant operational improvements, including higher speeds and substantial energy and space savings. By evolving towards this multi-service, future-proof network platform, Openreach demonstrates its commitment to delivering robust, high-quality digital infrastructure across the UK. 🛠️💡#NetworkAutomation #BroadbandInnovation #UKTech #hamiltonbarnes #openreach #computerweekly
