Network management
Why LightSOFT by Ribbon?
LightSOFT is the central network management platform for Ribbon’s NEPTUNE, APOLLO, XDM and BG transmission systems. The scalable software enables comprehensive end-to-end management for networks of all sizes – from smaller installations to complex telecommunications infrastructures with thousands of network elements.
