uCPE Connect
Virtualize network and IT functions at your customers' sites
Simplify your operations and deployments.
Do you want to reduce the number of devices on your customers' sites and simplify your deployment and innovation projects?
Thanks to virtualization, you can now dematerialize all your network and IT services and install them in a virtual format (Virtual Network Function) on a single device named uCPE provided and maintained by Orange. A digital space will allow you to manage all your virtualization operations remotely and you will no longer need to move technicians on site to work on equipment.

The service includes:
- A uCPE device leased by Orange that you install at your end customers’ sites.
- A “My uCPE” digital space that allows you to deploy virtual functions on the uCPEs from a catalog of images and to manage them independently.

- Upgrade your end customer’s network solution to SDWAN while virtualizing network functions and business servers.
- Integrate a ToIP solution on your end customer’s sites.
