Our core business is providing next-generation broadband telecommunication
network products, solutions and services. As a global telecom infrastructure
provider, we focus on delivering innovative carrier-class packet optical, network
synchronization and broadband access (both Wireless and fixed line) products
and solutions, coupled with Software Defined Networking (“SDN”)
platform, optimized for mobile backhaul, metro aggregation, broadband access
and value added services.
Our technologies enable access, aggregation and transports of high-speed voice,
video and data. The product lines include Packet Transport Network (“PTN”),
Packet Aggregation Network (“PAN”), Multi-Services Access Network
(“MSAN”), Carrier Wi-Fi solution and Software Defined Network (“SDN”)
controller.
In addition to the well-established product lines mentioned above, which we
sell to our customers worldwide, UTStarcom is actively involved in new products
and solutions developments in several key target areas including network synchronization,
intelligent platforms for smart retail store, and smart merchandising machines.
The new products and solutions utilize the experience and knowledge we have
accumulated over the years in our key areas of expertise including optical communications,
broadband access technologies, as well as hardware and software design.
We support full cycle in-house R&D and manufacturing equipped with advanced
design, test and measurement tools. Our manufacturing is focused on production
of high quality telecom equipment with comprehensive quality control process
certified by LRQA for ISO9001/14001, OHSAS18001, QC080000, which results in
very high equipment reliability. As a part of our efforts to support our customers
on all stages of network planning, deployment and operation, we provide full
range of pre- and post-sale services including turn-key deployments as may be
required by our customers.
New PTN products of “Next Generation Packet Transport Network (“NG-PTN”)”
portfolio offer some important improvements and include key features listed
below:
· Improved and highly efficient hardware and software architecture,
high port density, low power consumption
· A wide range of supported interfaces up to 100GE
· Full integration with UTStarcom’s SDN solution SOOTM Network
· Support BoD and other advanced dynamic services from the SDN-based
dynamic control plane
· Advanced automation features (with future software releases)
· Based on MPLS-TP/CE, a rich feature set including sub-50ms resiliency,
and precise network time/clock synchronization with 1588v2 and SyncE, QoS etc.
· Overall capital and operating expense savings
The TN765, higher layer aggregation / core platform of NG-PTN product line
aims to help operators enhance profitability by extending capacity, throughput
and deployment flexibility of MPLS-TP networks. It offers enhanced throughput
of 1Tbps, multiple 100 GE interfaces and a large number of 10GE interfaces for
more efficient network deployment. By the end of 2017, over 1700 of NetRingTN765
devices with 100GE interfaces have been shipped to customers. The growing demand
for 100GE interface has been driving TN765 sales, making TN765 one of the major
products contributing to the Company’s revenue in 2017. In 2017 we also
introduced a new NG-PTN 100G-enabled device — TN705E, a high-performance
aggregation device offering 800Gbps switching capacity in just 5RU form-factor.
The product drew significant interest of our customers and passed successful
field tests in 2017. We expect to get orders and start shipping this product
in 2018.
Newly introduced in 2017, the PAN solution is based on technologies similar
to PTN, but optimized for high-performance aggregation scenarios. The portfolio
includes three products: TN703B (CPE, 6Gbps switching capacity), TN705B (4RU
rack-mountable, 40Gbps switching capacity), TN725B (4RU rack-mountable, 80Gbps
switching capacity). Due to high demand in India and in order to comply with
India governmental regulations, PAN Series products are manufactured in India.
We shipped over 4000 units of PAN products in 2017 and expect shipment volumes
to increase in 2018.
SDN Platform
UTStarcom offers a suite of products based on SDN technology combined in a
SOOTM Network (Software-defined Open Packet Optical) solution which answers
the needs of telecom operators for the next generation intelligent network,
helping them to reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses, while enhancing
overall network performance, availability and bandwidth efficiency and improving
the customer experience. With SOO network operators gain unprecedented programmability,
automation, and network control, which enables them to build highly scalable,
flexible networks that readily adapt to changing business needs.
We have successfully deployed carrier Wi-Fi solution since 2013. In 2016 we
added support of the newest 802.11ac Wave 2 technology to our portfolio of Wireless
Access Points implemented in UIA3340, UOA5340D, and other latest products. Growing
demand from the India market resulted in the recent deployment of a large Carrier
Wi-Fi network in two cities of India. In 2017, we have already shipped eight
units of MSG2000 Wireless Access Controllers and about 10,000 Wireless Access
Points for that project. We expect to see growing demand from India and other
markets in 2018.
MSAN Products
MSAN offers a wide range of services over twisted pair copper and optical fiber
including IPTV, High-Speed Internet Access, POTS, VoIP. UTStarcom’s iAN
Multimedia Network Edge is a leading MSAN platform with accumulated over 40
million lines installed worldwide. The latest iAN platform-iAN1200 series MSAN
portfolio accommodates carrier-grade broadband access, telephony and data service,
and supports a range of technologies such as POTS, ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+, VDSL2,
SHDSL(EFM) which allows service providers to serve highly interactive and bandwidth
intensive applications, enabling operators to offer value added “Triple
Play” and broadband business services and migration to NGN while maintaining
the traditional telephony services. The MSAN B1200 product line includes high
(iAN B1205F), medium (iAN B1205E) and low (iAN B1205) capacity devices acting
act as a traditional TDM based DLC, IPDSLAM, Media Gateway platform integrated
into a single device and supports seamless migration from V5/AN to VoIP/AG and
IMS Access.
As telecom industry evolves, and new applications emerge including 5G mobile
networks, IoT and others, UTStarcom is working on next generation networking
platforms aimed at better addressing the needs of our existing customers, as
well as attracting new customers in new markets. We are currently developing
and introducing two new product lines:
Network Synchronization
The SyncRing product family was specifically designed for highly accurate time
and frequency synchronization over packet switched network based on PTP (IEEE1588v2)
and Synchronous Ethernet technologies. The product family includes XGM20 grand
master device and XBC510 boundary clock switch centrally managed by our proven
OMC-O NMS network management platform. The SyncRing solution is mainly aimed
at mobile network operators due to its ability to meet the stringent synchronization
accuracy requirements of LTE/LTE-A, as well as to meet lower TCO targets that
are especially critical for the swiftly growing segment of small cell deployments.
The SyncRing product can be deployed as a standalone solution working with the
existing backhaul network infrastructure, or in combination with NG-PTN products
to provide a complete comprehensive “future-proof” mobile backhaul
solution. UTStarcom constantly works on further developments and improvements
of this product line — not only for existing customers and applications,
but also to meet complex requirements of emerging 5G mobile technology.
