TL;DR

  • Simplified Service Delivery: Centralizing service configuration at the point of presence removes the need for repeated WAN changes, complex multicast design, and premises-level NAT adjustments.
  • Scalable Multi-Service Platform: Once the initial Layer 2 segment is established, operators can easily attach new cloud, partner, or AI infrastructure services to the customer site.
  • Commercial Availability: Managed by a cloud-based Path Computation Engine, the product line launches with the PBC 124-C to expand addressable markets for off-net sites

Connecting remote customer premises over existing IP transport allows service providers to expand their reach and service delivery without constructing new fiber infrastructure. By pairing a customer-premises device like the PBC 100 Series with a PoP-side PBC 2000, operators establish an encrypted Layer 2 SD-Ethernet extension over any available transport, including fiber, dedicated internet access, or satellite. This approach delivers a consistent Ethernet handoff directly to the customer site, bypassing the need for complex, manually negotiated network-to-network interfaces.

Traditional last-mile connections often complicate service expansion, requiring repeated WAN modifications, network address translation adjustments, and complex multicast routing configurations for every new offering. Extending an isolated Layer 2 Ethernet segment back to the operator’s point of presence solves this bottleneck by centralizing service management. Operators can seamlessly attach additional offerings, such as cloud connectivity, partner networks, or artificial intelligence infrastructure, directly at the central network level without modifying customer-premises hardware or WAN settings.

Driven by a cloud-based Path Computation Engine, the solution automates path selection and measures service performance across the encrypted connection. The initial deployment in this MaiaEdge product line, the PBC 124-C, enables operators to turn existing connectivity into an extensible platform for recurring service growth. By simplifying last-mile delivery, service providers can rapidly unlock new revenue streams and address off-net customer locations that were previously difficult to serve.
