Telco Systems and albis-elcon Partner to Boost Rollout of Service Virtualization on Telecommunications Networks

MANSFIELD, Mass. and HARTMANNSDORF, Germany, April 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Telco Systems, a leading provider of innovative Network Edge solutions for communications infrastructure and service management, and albis-elcon, a leading supplier of gigabit switching and routing systems for optical and mobile telecommunication networks, today jointly announced that albis-elcon has integrated Telco Systems' virtualization technology into its recently launched uSphir solution.

Telco Systems' Edge compute technology also allows uSphir to run on either Intel or Arm based devices and leverage native Cloud environments for network management and operations.

This strategic partnership between Telco Systems and albis-elcon was established as an outcome of extensive joint testing of this integrated solution according to specific market requirements and will benefit customers with the latest cutting edge Cloud Computing technologies.

"The transition towards next generation architectures with dynamic service offerings based on virtualized functions requires a network- and solution-oriented approach for which Telco Systems' innovative virtualization technology is delivering significant value in the Cloud Computing domain," said Werner Neubauer, CEO of albis-elcon. "Telco Systems is a world leader in its market and large vendors like Arm and CheckPoint have been using its technology insider their products for many years. Our partnership with Telco Systems accelerates the availability of new technologies, new service models for our customers."
