Advanced Research Reports on Virtual Broadband Network Gateway

With the global emphasis on providing universal broadband access and connectivity, service providers are expanding their network footprint, subscriber base, as well as the number of individual subscriber sessions and bandwidth per session. Additionally, broadband providers are also mixing the physical media through which they deliver broadband, using a combination of DOCSIS, fiber, fixed wireless, and other technologies. Finally, service providers are distributing their broadband platforms closer to subscribers and moving away from centralized, hardware-based architectures towards more distributed, software-based platforms which allow them to take advantage of network architectures based on CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation). vBNGs are starting to play an increasingly important role in the transformation of broadband access networks, as operators look to shift away from traditional, hardware-based BNG platforms. The vBNG ARR aims to answer critical market questions, Including:

• How quickly are broadband providers moving to Virtual BNGs?
• What are the use cases and benefits of moving from hardware-based BNGs to vBNGs?
• Which operators are moving first to vBNGs and why?
• Will operators rip and replace their BNGs or cap and grow using vBNG platforms?
• Will subscriber or traffic growth be the primary driver for further investments in vBNGs?
