Implementing enhanced IPv6 in SmartNode VoIP CPE, Patton supports simplified network architectures and lowers operation and maintenance costs for service providers and enterprises. <\/em>GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Patton Electronics<\/u><\/a>\u2014doing business as a bricks-and-mortar manufacturer since 1984\u2014has enhanced IPv6 in its SmartNode CPE, the company announced today.<\/p>\n Global expansion of the Internet, proliferation of IP endpoint devices, and the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) means we will soon run out of IPv4 addresses.<\/p>\n The IPv6 standard<\/u><\/a> expands available IP addresses octillion times, or at least 17 billion<\/u><\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n Everyone has known that for a long time and the hype has been going on for years.<\/p>\n Service providers made plans, and some partially implemented IPv6 in their networks. Carriers like Telefonica<\/u><\/a> and T-MOBILE<\/u><\/a>\u2014and enterprises such as Microsoft<\/u><\/a>\u2014have started the changeover. Many large enterprises also planned on it, but have spotty adoption of IPv6. Most SMEs have barely even planned a transition.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing is for sure, we are not living in an All-IPv6 world,\u201d said Burton A. Patton<\/u><\/a><\/strong> (Burt), Executive Vice President at Patton. \u201cStill the move to IPv6 is inevitable. And there are good reasons to do it sooner rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n IPv6 networks are simpler\u2014and CHEAPER\u2014to operate and maintain.<\/p>\n >>Blog: Turning on IPv6: Why do it?<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n With IPv4, maintaining network address translation (NAT) tables is complex, time-consuming, and costly. That is probably why whatech.com<\/u><\/a> predicts the IPv6 market will grow at rate (CAGR) of +31 % until 2023 and beyond.<\/p>\n Since 2011, Patton\u2019s SmartNode hardware platforms and operating system have been ready for IPv6. Patton has tested and proven SmartNode CPE with longstanding carrier customers for IPv6 SIP-trunking service delivery.<\/p>\n Now, Patton heralds not only IPv6 support, but offers enhanced edge-orchestration services with the Patton Cloud<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n Getting from IPv4 to All-IPv6 networking presents challenges. We will live in a mixed IPv4\/IPv6 world for some years.<\/p>\n Supporting IPv6 and IPv4 on the network edge (between enterprise and service-provider networks) while empowering service transitions on both sides of the demarcation can be done the easy way or the hard way. Patton says their solution is the easy way.<\/p>\n In related news, Patton recently announced its new Patton Cloud Edge-Orchestration Service<\/a> that speeds deployment and reduces costs for VoIP and ALL-IP service providers.<\/p>\n
