In this session we explore the future of new network services and how Universal CPE (uCPE) is used by service providers to combine many separate fixed-function network elements with a single multi-function device. Using virtualized network function software (VNFs) on Universal CPE, providers have a consistent and flexible foundation they can build on to offer new SD-WAN, SIP Trunking, and other services while improving network security with SBC and firewall VNFs.

A few things are happening in our industry that are very interesting, some that will fundamentally change how communications applications will be delivered to their users.
One of them is that AT&T launched a revolutionary offer, combining multiple network functions into a single device, creating AT&T Flexware. Marketed to large enterprises, Flexware bids to reduce complexity and offer new services without stacks of ONTs, routers, firewalls and other network elements.
Not to be out-done, Verizon created their own Verizon Virtual Network Services, compressing network security, SD-WAN and other network functions into a simplified offering
