Case Study: Customer Premise Equipment Company achieves faster, lower-cost vCPE and SD‑WAN deployments with Advantech FWA‑1010VC uCPE

Customer Premise Equipment Company - Customer Case Study

Customer Premise Equipment Company faced the limits of traditional, provider‑owned CPE—specialized hardware that made opening branches or adding network functions slow, costly and dependent on supplier truck rolls and on‑site technicians. To overcome these operational and capital constraints they evaluated virtual CPE approaches and worked with Advantech, deploying the FWA‑1010VC universal uCPE platform to replace multiple dedicated devices with a single, software‑driven appliance.

Advantech’s FWA‑1010VC consolidated VNFs on a whitebox uCPE with features such as DPDK (up to 10x packet throughput), Intel QAT acceleration, LTE backup, dual‑media WAN, ECC memory and optional TPM, plus Zero Touch Provisioning and a quick‑start image for fast onboarding. By using Advantech’s solution, the customer simplified integration and rollout, reduced CapEx and OpEx, improved throughput and availability, and cut service‑deployment cycles from months to hours.
