For example, OpenVault’s Q2 2024 Broadband Insights Report highlights a 16.5% year-over-year increase in the percentage of broadband subscribers consuming 1 Terabyte or more per month. Moreover, upstream data consumption has also surged, growing by 15.9% over the previous year. These figures underscore the mounting demand for broadband network capacity …
Marc Andreessen famously said, “Software is eating the world.” Time has proven Andreessen to be prophetic. We can now say, “Software is eating the network.” The Road to Software-Based Networks Network functions virtualization (NFV) is driving the transition to software-based networks. NFV virtualizes network services, such as routers and firewalls traditionally run on proprietary hardware. Proprietary “closed systems,” unfortunately, are …
As cities, municipalities, and communities strive to leverage BEAD funding to expand broadband access to their constituents, they’re turning to technology to help bridge the digital divide. While a significant portion of expenditures tend to go towards the physical plant, such as fiber, copper, or RF, the data center or central office is important in providing effective solutions for these …

With the increasing demand for fast internet access, virtual Broadband Network Gateways (vBNGs) have become a valuable solution to meet those needs. The Importance of Reliable Virtual Broadband Network Gateways Reliability is a crucial aspect of all network …
In addition to greater scalability and flexibility, vBNGs are providing benefits in many unexpected ways.
Network disaggregation is gaining traction and Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs) are next. Learn the reasons why.
Nielsen’s Law of Internet Bandwidth states that a high-end user’s connection speed grows by 50% per year. In looking at data from 1983 to 2023, it’s remarkable how closely the actual data fits the 50% annualized growth stated by Nielsen’s law. Even with minor yearly variations, Nielsen’s Law of Internet Bandwidth has held true throughout a 40-year period. This doesn’t necessarily …
