Your BNG Product.
Built on Quantum.

The ISP market needs BNG options between MikroTik stacks and carrier-grade chassis. BlueDot develops custom vBNG solutions on the Quantum Framework — IPoE subscriber management for 5,000 to 60,000 sessions per node, built to your network architecture and shipped as your product.

The BNG Market Has a Gap in the Middle

Regional ISPs and WISPs serving thousands of subscribers face a familiar infrastructure ceiling. MikroTik works at small scale, but operators outgrow it quickly — chaining boxes to handle load, manually distributing subscriber sessions, building fragile architectures held together by scripts. Each additional unit adds management complexity and failure surface without improving per-subscriber economics.

Commercial BNG platforms from the major vendors solve the scale problem, but at a price point designed for Tier 1 carriers. The feature set is built for operators managing millions of subscribers across national footprints. If you’re serving 5,000 to 60,000 subscribers, you’re paying for a platform built for someone ten times your size.

The gap between consumer-grade stacking and carrier-grade platforms is exactly where a custom-built vBNG on the Quantum Framework fits. The right subscriber management architecture, scoped to the right scale, on hardware you choose.

BlueDot builds that middle ground — as a custom development engagement, not a generic platform.

Built for Companies Shipping BNG Products and Services

OEMs Building BNG Appliances

You’re building a BNG product for the ISP market and you need a forwarding plane that handles subscriber session management at scale — per-subscriber QoS, policing, RADIUS integration — without building the entire subscriber plane from scratch on raw VPP. BlueDot develops the vBNG plugin to your spec. You ship it as your product.

System Integrators Serving ISP Customers

Your ISP customers are hitting the ceiling on their current BNG infrastructure and asking you for a solution. You need a platform you can configure, deploy, and support — built around the customer’s specific access topology and subscriber model, not a one-size-fits-all vendor platform.

Managed Service Providers

You’re delivering managed network services and need BNG capability as part of your infrastructure stack. You want a solution built to your operational model — your RADIUS integration, your QoS tiers, your management workflow — not a vendor platform you have to adapt around.

We Build the vBNG Plugin.
You Ship the Product.

BlueDot develops a custom vBNG plugin on the Quantum Framework, scoped to your specific network architecture. We work from your requirements — your VLAN model, your RADIUS integration, your QoS tiers, your subscriber management workflow — and deliver a vBNG implementation that runs in the VPP forwarding plane at wire speed.

The Quantum Controller manages subscriber sessions at runtime — provisioning, modifying, and disconnecting sessions without dataplane restarts. Each subscriber session is a first-class object with its own QoS policy, rate limits, and accounting. The result is a BNG function that handles what used to require a rack of MikroTiks on a single COTS node.

What we develop for your engagement:

IPoE subscriber session management — 5,000 to 60,000+ sessions per node
Per-subscriber QoS, rate limiting, and traffic policing in the forwarding plane
RADIUS/AAA integration built to your authentication and accounting requirements
Runtime subscriber provisioning via the Quantum Controller — no restarts
VLAN-per-subscriber and QinQ models as required by your access topology
Runs on standard x86 COTS hardware — no proprietary BNG chassis

How a vBNG Engagement Works

Custom Plugin Development

Every vBNG engagement starts with your network architecture. We scope the subscriber model, the access topology, the RADIUS integration, and the QoS requirements. BlueDot develops the vBNG plugin on the Quantum Framework, validates it against your requirements, and delivers a qualified build. Your team deploys and operates it — or ships it as part of your product.

Your Brand, Your Product

The vBNG plugin BlueDot develops becomes part of your product or your infrastructure. You choose the COTS hardware. You define the management interface. You own the customer relationship. BlueDot is the engineering partner behind the forwarding plane — not a vendor in your customer’s network.

Fixed-scope development. No per-subscriber licensing. The plugin you paid to develop runs on every unit you deploy.

Every vBNG engagement starts with your network architecture — how many subscribers, what access topology, what QoS model, what RADIUS integration. From there we scope the plugin development and the hardware specification.
