Telco Systems signed a multi-year development agreement with ARM to create new ARM-compatible universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) to work with its NFVTime offering. Telco Systems’ NFVTime platform can already run on uCPE hardware that supports both Intel x86 and ARM architectures.

NFVTime includes an operating system and a marketplace of virtual network functions (VNFs) from third-party vendors. The portfolio of certified VNFs in its marketplace includes SD-WAN, vFirewall, vProbe, and vSecurity.

Now, in coordination with ARM, Telco Systems will lead the multi-year development program for uCPE devices, specifically those based on NXP, Marvell, and Cavium system-on-chips (SoCs).
