Deutsche Telekom is one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, with some 242 million mobile customers, 27 million fixed-network lines, and 22 million broadband lines. With Access 4.0 Deutsche Telekom introduces a disaggregated, automated platform for access and service edge. Access 4.0 has a scalable architecture for both hardware and software and full redundancy on each level. It comes with a software-defined network running on a local edge cloud with standard x86 hardware. The virtual BNG resides on a spine-leaf fabric which is comprised of white box switches. The PON system is softwarized, using the ONF VOLTHA open-source software as a key foundational building block. This has opened the door to a plug-and-play approach for FTTx networking with best-of-breed disaggregated and programmable network equipment.
