For use by service providers, enterprise customers and Tier 1 and 2 telecommunications providers, the solution modernises distributed software-defined routing by using 128’s Session Smart Router™. This enables enterprises and service providers to build service-centric fabrics that deliver breakthroughs in simplicity, security, performance, and savings.
“The industry is seeking flexible solutions that support a wide range of new use cases and business models,” said Andy Ory, CEO 128 Technology.
“By combining our strengths with Silicom's, we are meeting that need and enabling organisations to evolve as they continue down the path of digital transformation.”
Additionally, Silicom and 128 Technology achieved joint solution-based LTE certification with both AT&T and Verizon, ensuring all required network specifications are built into the specific hardware, modem, and software combinations. This removes barriers to entry and guarantees the certified device is allowed onto both carriers' networks.
“One of the proof points of the disaggregated concept is how it promotes partnerships between top-tier hardware providers, like Silicom, with top-tier software providers, like 128 Technology, for the benefit of customers worldwide,” commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's CEO.
“We are proud of the uniquely robust and flexible SD-WAN solution we have created together, and the market agrees, as demonstrated by its rapid traction in a highly competitive marketplace.”
Last year, 128 Technology raised US$30 million in series D funding, which it used in part to drive the growth and development of Session Smart networking.
That round took the total capital raised to $97.4 million, with funds also used for customer growth, cloud provider partnerships and key managed service providers.
