WHAT IT DOES

What the delivered system actually does.

A network access device is the box that terminates a subscriber connection. The OEM builds the high-volume variants efficiently on their own line; what their line is bad at is the low-volume variant that interrupts it — a few hundred units of something slightly different.

This is capacity extension rather than outsourcing. The OEM keeps their own production. GANI runs the low-volume variant in parallel, in our facility, from their material specification and their production data, so their line stays on the products it is efficient at.

It has grown step by step. Each stage — first build, then test, then supply chain — was proven before the next was handed over, and the programme is moving toward full outsourcing of that variant. Nothing was transferred on trust; each step was transferred on evidence.

THE CHALLENGE

A telecom OEM’s main plant was saturated by a flagship product, starving a lower-volume access device of line time and pushing out lead times. They wanted a second source that mirrors their process — same test coverage, same traceability — without disturbing the running line.

STARTING CONDITION

The device was in stable series production at the OEM, with released documentation, test software and an existing fixture design.
