Company

Open networking from Berlin. Since 2012

BISDN was founded in 2012 with the vision of bringing Software-Defined Networking to telecommunications. That vision has become a production stack for fibre access networks, with open interfaces, developed and maintained in Germany.

The path

From SDN vision to a productive stack

2012

Founded in Berlin

Founded with the vision of bringing SDN to telecommunications, at a time when open network architectures were still a research topic.

2017

BISDN Linux in production

The open network operating system enters production use. The switching chip is integrated into a standard Linux system, with every port appearing as a normal Linux network interface.

Today

A continuous access stack

BISDN Linux is the foundation. On top of it, pOLTA and PONbox bring the fibre to the access connection, and BNGbox connects subscribers to the network. The first systems are running with network operators in Germany and Denmark.

What we stand for

Documented interfaces, open standards, development in Berlin.

What all three products have in common.

Open

Documented interfaces

The switch API, PON control API and REST interface to OSS/BSS are documented. No component requires another component to be closed.

Built to standards

Broadband Forum

TR-383 and TR-385 for PON, TR-451 for vOMCI, and the TR-459 architecture for the BNG. The software speaks the language your existing equipment and partners expect.

European

Software from Berlin

Developed and maintained in Germany, in German and English.
