Adtran launches Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter for rapid delivery of enterprise edge services
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adtran today launched its Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter, a cloud-managed solution that enables providers to deliver high-performance Layer 3 managed services with less cost, complexity and risk. As traditional routers reach end-of-life and core network revenues remain flat, providers are looking to enterprise sites to drive new growth. Delivered through a single subscription, the new solution offers a lower-cost alternative to proprietary appliances while enabling smarter service delivery, faster rollout and improved monetization of enterprise connectivity at the network edge. By replacing locked, single-function routers with a flexible virtualized platform, it gives providers a simpler, more powerful way to modernize their edge infrastructure. Our new Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter offers an immediate way to modernize services, increase margins and support high-value business customers with greater agility. Share 'The economics of enterprise service delivery are shifting rapidly – and providers can't afford to stand still,' said Robert Conger, GM of software platforms and strategy at Adtran. 'Our new Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter offers an immediate way to modernize services, increase margins and support high-value business customers with greater agility. It delivers the simplicity of a traditional appliance while also bringing the scalability and intelligence of a cloud-native platform. Many providers are stuck managing legacy appliances that are expensive to evaluate, deploy and scale. With this solution, they can break free of those constraints and confidently expand their service capabilities over time.' Adtran's Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter combines servers with high-performance virtual routing technology powered by 6WIND, alongside centralized cloud orchestration via Ensemble EdgeView. With native support for 2.5Gbit/s, 10Gbit/s SFP+ and optional 5G wireless, it delivers dynamic Layer 3 routing, VPN, DNS, DHCP, QoS, stateful firewall capabilities and robust IPsec security. The platform offers zero-touch provisioning, remote lifecycle management and cloud-hosted orchestration services for faster time to market and streamlined operations. Providers can scale up from 4-core systems for routing-only use cases to 8-core configurations that support additional virtual network functions and enterprise workloads. 'We've designed this platform as more than just a replacement for legacy hardware. It's a scalable, service-ready foundation that enables our customers to respond to today's demands while preparing for what's next,' commented Christoph Glingener, CTO of Adtran. 'Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter gives providers the flexibility to tailor deployments to their needs, whether that means delivering a high-bandwidth Layer 3 service or orchestrating more advanced use cases incorporating third-party VNFs. For the first time, they can combine the simplicity of a physical box with the freedom of virtualization, supported by off-the-shelf agility and cloud-native control.'

Adtran and 6WIND partner to deliver scalable vBNG and vCGNAT solutions for end-to-end broadband networks
News summary: Service providers need cost-effective, high-performance virtual BNG and CGNAT solutions to manage growing subscriber demands Adtran has integrated 6WIND's vBNG and vCGNAT into its Mosaic software suite, providing service automation and subscriber insights for ISPs of all sizes Collaboration strengthens Adtran's end-to-end offering, making network management more flexible and cost-efficient HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adtran today announced its partnership with 6WIND to deliver scalable virtual broadband network gateway (vBNG) and virtual carrier-grade NAT (vCGNAT) solutions, giving service providers a more agile and cost-effective way to manage subscriber authentication, routing and traffic handling. By integrating 6WIND's vBNG and vCGNAT into Adtran's Mosaic software suite, service providers can replace expensive, hardware-based BNGs with a software-driven alternative that scales on demand without sacrificing performance. This collaboration strengthens Adtran's end-to-end solution, enabling seamless broadband service delivery while reducing expense and complexity for operators. "Virtualization is transforming network infrastructure and service providers need high-performance, scalable solutions to stay competitive," said Julien Dahan, CEO of 6WIND. "By integrating our vBNG and vCGNAT with Adtran's Mosaic software suite, we're delivering a cloud-native alternative to legacy hardware that lowers costs and boosts efficiency. This collaboration enables providers to deploy virtualized broadband services with carrier-grade performance while streamlining operations. Together, we're providing a complete solution that enhances network agility while lowering overheads, helping providers deploy and manage broadband services more efficiently than ever." By running as a virtual machine (VM) on commercial off-the-shelf servers, 6WIND's vBNG and vCGNAT eliminate the need for costly, proprietary hardware. Adtran has integrated the solution with its Mosaic software suite and line-rate traffic management within its fiber access platforms, enabling non-blocking BNG performance at multigigabit speeds while automating provisioning, authentication and subscriber monitoring – all without requiring specialized integration. Designed for scalability, this architecture supports everything from small networks to deployments serving millions of subscribers. It also supports key broadband functions, including RADIUS authentication, CGNAT and dynamic routing, while ensuring carrier-grade performance with low latency and high throughput. Unlike traditional hardware appliances from other vendors that require expensive, fixed-capacity hardware, this virtualized approach allows operators to scale from thousands to millions of subscribers with minimal investment. "Today's service providers require more than standalone solutions – they need a fully integrated network that scales efficiently. By combining 6WIND's high-performance vBNG and vCGNAT with our software applications and fiber access platforms, we're giving operators an affordable and highly flexible alternative to traditional BNGs," commented Robert Conger, GM of software platforms and strategy at Adtran. "This partnership builds on our long-standing collaboration, which has already delivered more than 12,000 6WIND routers as the Ensemble vRouter, with hundreds more deployed each month. Together, we're simplifying operations and giving providers greater control over their networks. And because we provide integration, deployment support and professional services, we make it even easier for our customers to scale and optimize their networks while delivering high-quality connectivity."
