As service providers plan for the continued growth of ultra-broadband services, they're looking for ways to enable higher network capacities in a cost-effective way. Casa uniquely addresses the challenges of this new era, bringing its proven, decade-long expertise delivering tier one cable access technologies to its new ultra-broadband edge platform and small cell solutions.

Casa Systems' Axyom ultra-broadband edge platform is a virtualized multi-access solution for 3G/4G and trusted/untrusted Wi-Fi access. All of the access and core network functions service providers need to enable a variety of ultra-broadband mobile and Wi-Fi services are available in the Axyom software platform. 

Deployable on-premise, at the network edge or at a centralized location, Axyom features a suite of virtual network functions designed to help providers simplify their access networks with a single software platform that provides security, management tools and the ability to provide end users with the highest quality experience.
