BATM Advanced Communications Limited
("BATM" or "the Group")
Substantial traction achieved in NFV market with formation of
key partnerships
Management believes its total addressable market for network
function virtualisation based on these partnerships to be worth c.
US$200m over the next three years
BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE: BVC), a leading
provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and
medical laboratory systems, announces that Telco Systems ("Telco"),
a high-end software development and design business within the
Group's Networking & Cyber division, has established
partnerships with a number of leading telecoms organisations with
the respective partners offering joint solutions for network
virtualisation. This represents a significant advancement of BATM's
strategy to leverage the telecom industry transition from hardware
to Network Function Virtualisation ("NFV") and Software-Defined
Networking ("SDN").
The partnerships, which have been established in recent months,
include leading providers of central processing unit ("CPU")
technology, white box hardware and across a range of virtual
network functions, such as:
-- CPU: Telco is the only worldwide software vendor to provide
NFV functionality to Arm architecture and all Intel platforms
-- White box: NexCom, Advantech, AAEON and Lanner
-- Software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN): Silverpeak
-- Firewall: TrendMicro
-- vRouter: Cisco, Riverbed and 6WIND
-- Network performance monitoring: Certes and Netrounds
-- Network orchestration: Netcracker
The Group's management believes that its total addressable
market specifically for NFV applications that it can target through
these partnerships is worth approximately US$200m over the next
three years as the industry develops. The Group intends to
establish further partnerships in due course and expects the value
of its addressable market to grow accordingly.
The latest milestone is the launch, together with 6WIND, a
high-performance networking software company and leader in the
vRouter market, of the industry's first vRouter for software-based
remote management of router services, that enables service
providers to rapidly launch and remotely deploy and modify managed
router services on a standalone basis or combined with additional
virtual network functions. The new vRouter, which combines Telco's
NFVTime solution with 6WIND's Turbo Router, is built on an open
uCPE (universal Customer Premises Equipment) platform. uCPE is a
networking solution that converts network functions from hardware
to software, which, with competing solutions, is currently a long
and expensive process, and in some instances not feasible. The
solution introduced by BATM's Telco addresses these limitations by
being completely hardware agnostic - supporting multiple
technologies, including Intel (the leading architecture for
computers) and Arm (the leading architecture for mobile
devices).
As a result, this open and agile service delivery platform can
meet the growing demand from telecoms operators and managed service
providers for solutions that offer increased performance,
flexibility and cost savings on their networks, regardless of their
hardware or what they may choose to use.
Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said: "We are
delighted with the progress that we have achieved in network
function virtualisation, which is a key target growth-market for
BATM's networking and cyber division. With the establishment of
these partnerships - with the leaders in their field - we are
seeing our strategy come to fruition as our solutions can form part
of any NFV and SDN applications. As a result, we are
well-positioned to expand our sales in this market, which, based on
our current partnerships alone, we estimate has a value of US$200m
for BATM over the next few years as the industry starts to
implement the technology on a regular basis."
