Benu Networks announced that its Virtual Broadband Network Gateway brings new Secure Access Service Edge and 5G Wireless Wireline Convergence capabilities to operator and carrier networks.

"Carriers need to be able to secure their networks and deploy solutions across converged networks as remote learning, work-from-home, and the rapid growth of 5G continue to expand network demands and introduce new security challenges," said Ron Westfall, Senior Analyst and Research Director at Futurum Research.

In stark contrast to this method, Benu Networks software-defined SASE services run inside the carrier network, providing the industry's only carrier-first SASE approach.

The cloud-native vBNG is built on Benu Networks' innovative SD-Edge Platform, a networking software solution that disaggregates hardware from software and control plane from user plane, enabling operators to massively reduce cost, optimize their networks for the best user experience, and scale efficiently.

With Benu's support for 5G Access Gateway Function, service providers can now embrace WWC to bring the benefits of 5G-like network slicing and low-latency services to fixed networks and WiFi.

"Our customers are thrilled we are bringing a cloud-native solution that is not only disruptive in performance and economics, but also enables high-value security services and the option to manage their fixed network using their 5G core," says Mads Lillelund, CEO of Benu Networks.
