The increase in connected devices within businesses and industries requires higher bandwidth and network usage, making traditional Wide Area Network (WAN) hardware and infrastructure unsustainable as businesses move towards digital platforms such as cloud and edge networks. Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN) simplify the management and operation of a WAN. SD-WAN allows companies to build higher-performance networks using lower-cost and commercially available Internet access, enabling businesses to partially or wholly replace more expensive private WAN connection technologies such as MPLS.

Designed for next generation network virtualization, AAEON provides white box uCPE solutions built for SD-WAN to help industries stay connected. SD-WAN networks provide more flexibility to handle connected industries and businesses from distributed branches to data centers and the cloud. With SD-WAN, a single point interface with the network provides a more efficient technology for IT departments to stay ahead of digital security threats, and quickly identify and pinpoint hardware issues.

AAEON’s white box uCPE platforms are designed to power any third-party virtual network function (VNF), eliminating the need for proprietary hardware, and accelerating deployment for service providers. AAEON white box uCPE platforms allow customers to run VNFs whether it’s branch offices or enterprise level networks. AAEON white box uCPE platforms save time and money for both service providers and their customers by offering software configurable hardware solutions to deploy network functions such as firewalls, virtual routing, intrusion detection and prevention, Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN. AAEON white box uCPE platforms enable service providers to deliver managed services to their enterprise customers, while also providing benefits to enterprises in the way of providing a universal CPE approach that simplifies network deployment by moving to software-defined solutions.
