Also on the virtualisation list is the customer premises equipment (CPE), and this deserves a little explanation. Obviously every premises needs some sort of physical connection to the network providing the services. What CPE virtualisation refers to is making the CPE as generic as possible.

The current service is based on what Verizon's calling a “universal CPE” in the customer premises (Cisco and Juniper are the vendors). By the end of 2016, Verizon plans to have more CPE functions in the cloud, with the premises connection served by what Wong called “a simple mux”.

Customers will also be able to mix “fat” CPE with the virtualised options in a hybrid model.
