The BE router has been developed to support all of Bezeq’s broadband access technologies and in-home connectivity. The BE router provides the following connectivity;
- Support AnyWan interfsce VDSL (including 35b) and G.Fast
- SFP cage to support FTTH deployments (GPON, P2P, AE).
- Advanced WLAN: 2×2 11n in 2.4GHz band and 3×3 .11ac in 5GHz band.
- WIFI Single SSID / Band steering.
- 4x GE LAN ports
- Z-wave for connection to in-home IoT sensors and actuators.
Using a containerized SW platform, the BE router can easily add new innovative services without the need for a full router qualification test cycle. Since the start of the deployment of the BE router, Cyber Security service using DPI technology was successfully added. Recently the BE application to manage and configure the Gateway from the user’s mobile was added. This application can be used from anywhere, provides the status of the home networking including connected devices, allows to block (IoT) devices and manage users.
The housing of the BE router was designed with the intention to move the gateway from the communications or utility cabin to living room providing significant better WiFi coverage. To further improve the WiFi coverage, the BE router has integrated EasyMeshTM capabilities and smart-band steering allowing to stream 4K quality video from the BE router to any client in the home.
The “One-LED” status concept of the BE router allows users to get a direct and unambiguous status view. This has significantly improved communication between Bezeq’s users and helpdesk.
The BE router was developed and is produced by Heights-Telecom T ltd, a growing Israeli vendor and developer of innovative CPE and networking products based on its own SW architecture, containerized SW architecture and containerized services.
Keren Leizerovitch Bezeq CMO commented, “The ability to add services easily has helped Bezeq to increase our ARPU, Heights-Telecom has proven to be a very innovative company willing to take the latest technology into development and production with highest skills and professionality. We are looking forward to adding more services to the BE router as we are convinced that this will further improve our financial results”
Gadi Malka, Heights-Telecom CEO, stated, “We strongly believe that the ability to add services to gateways allows operators to differentiate and increases customer stickiness. Heights-Telecom plans to release a couple of new services by the end of this year. One of these new services will allow improving the broadband experience of the gateway by using AI technology”.
