Access Networking

Any Device. Anywhere. Anytime. Secured.

Simplify, automate, and secure your network experience. An access network physically connects every end system to the edge router – ISP, home, enterprise, ADSL, mobile, FTTH. We make that connection intent‑based, zero‑trust and cloud‑managed, so your people connect from anywhere, anytime, on any device.

Features & Benefits

Three Promises of Modern Access

Everything we deploy maps back to these three outcomes.

Reimagine ConnectionsAnywhere • anytime • any device

From ISP and home networks to enterprise, ADSL, mobile and FTTH – the access network connects every end system to the edge. We make those connections software‑defined, automated and effortless.

  • One fabric for wired, wireless & IoT
  • Seamless onboarding for every device type
  • Connections that provision themselves
Reinforce SecurityZero‑trust, built in

Security stops being a bolt‑on. Zero‑trust access in every switch, intent‑based policy from ISE, and segmentation across the fabric contain threats by default.

  • Built‑in zero‑trust access
  • Intent‑based policy for users & devices
  • Segmentation without complexity
Redefine IT ExperienceMinutes, not days

DNA Center turns weeks of configuration into minutes of automation. AI‑enabled analytics find issues before users do – and IT finally gets ahead of the ticket queue.

  • Provision everything from one center
  • AI‑enabled automation & analytics
  • Rich visibility across the estate

What Is an Access Network?

An access network is the network which physically connects an end system to the immediate router – the "edge router" – on the path to any other distant end system. It's the first mile of every digital experience, and it deserves the same intelligence as your core.

  • ISP networks & home networks
  • Enterprise networks & campuses
  • ADSL & FTTH fibre access
  • Mobile networks & wireless
  • Simplified, automated & secured – from anywhere, anytime, any device
