The document discusses Orange's progress towards implementing SDN and NFV technologies across its network. It describes Orange deploying SDN/NFV-enabled network points of presence (PoPs) in 75 countries to allow for dynamic services. A prototype virtual path computation element (vPCE) has been deployed for path computation. Orange is also conducting trials of a universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) with virtualized functions. SDN is being applied to the IP/MPLS network for path optimization and network services like bandwidth on demand. Orange aims to fully transform its network through multi-domain orchestration using SDN and NFV.

Conclusion
digital
Full engagement in the
SDN/NFVization of our
network
Involving Multi-Domain service
orchestration
A lot of work done since our live trial
Some SDN and NFV based services
are already available !
Transformation is occurring in all
areas simultaneously
NFV+SDN in the PoP
NFV on the uCPE
SDN in the IP/MPLS
Our SDN/NFV engine grows
Enabling new use cases
Keeping Ciena Blueplanet as a
federation
