For ISPs buying this sort of white box/OEM platform in large quantities, I would recommend sending one person to attend the yearly Computex Taipei trade show to look at the new stuff and meet the manufacturer reps in person.

Edgecore is just a marketing name/sub-brand for the company Accton.

I don't think IP Infustion makes hardware  - their OCNOS software runs on many third-party white-box platforms from the likes of EdgeCore and UfiSpace.

There may well be a device that suits the OP's requirements amongst the supported hardware list.

I refer you to this handy table:

I don't know about specific SKUs, but IP Infusion make a very popular set of L2 switches.

I'm evaluating CPEs for one of my clients, a regional ISP. Currently, we're terminating the customer's service (L3) on our upstream equipment and extending it over our own fiber to the customer's premise, where it lands in a Juniper EX2200 or EX2300.

At a previous job, I used Accedian's ANTs on the customer prem side. I like the ANT because it has a small footprint with only 2 ports, it's passively cooled, it's very simple to operate, it's controlled centrally, etc. Unfortunately, when I reached out to Accedian, they insisted that the controller (which is required) started at $30k, which is a non-starter for us.

I'm not aware of any other products like this. Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple L2* device to deploy to customer premises? Not necessarily the exact same thing, but something similarly-featured would be ideal.

*I'm not sure if the ANT is exactly "layer 2", but I don't know what else to call it.
