EdgeNectar, a provider of AI-driven, private 5G and edge compute solutions
to enterprises, announced it supports 5G Open RAN using ARM's latest
technology. The company also joined ARM's Ecosystem and 5G Solution Lab as a
partner. EdgeNectar's converged 4G/5G core network, now supports both 3GPP
standardized RAN and Open RAN. The company will demonstrate its converged core
network interoperating with Open RAN at ARM's booth, MWC Hall 2, Stand I60, at
Mobile World Congress 2024.
"EdgeNectar's expansion to support 5G Open RAN using ARM's latest
technology offers enterprises greater flexibility, efficiency, scalability, and
simplified deployment. EdgeNectar's use of ARM technology facilitates a compact
hardware design, enabling more deployment options in on-site and cloud
environments. Our principles of compact design, ease of deployment, and
simplified management will remain central to meeting the demands of our
enterprise users across many industries as networks continue to evolve,"
said Ken Zhang, Co-founder, and CEO of EdgeNectar.
Powered by ARM's technology, EdgeNectar's converged core network
provides several significant benefits for enterprise customers, including:
- Compact Hardware Design - Reduces physical footprint, ideal for space-constrained
deployments: ARM's technology, renowned
for its efficiency and low power consumption, provides crucial attributes
for mobile network infrastructure. Leveraging ARM's latest advancements,
EdgeNectar can develop core network components that are powerful and
compact. This compactness is critical for enterprise customer deployments
and locations where space is premium. It also facilitates easier scaling
of network infrastructure to meet growing demand without the need for
proportionally larger physical space. EdgeNectar's converged core network
can support from a few hundred to several hundreds of thousands of
subscribers' devices.
- Easy Deployment -
Simplifies installation in on-site or cloud environments: The
compact, efficient nature of EdgeNectar's core network architecture
simplifies the deployment process. Enterprise customers can deploy the
core network onsite or remotely in a private or public cloud. This ease of
deployment is particularly beneficial for rapidly deploying private 4G and
5G networks across diverse vertical industries, such as airports,
hospitals, shopping centers, warehouses, and more.
- Simplified Network Management - Enables efficient network control and service
provisioning: Integrating ARM technology into EdgeNectar's core
network architecture also facilitates simplified network management. ARM's
technology supports advanced virtualization and containerization
techniques, enabling more efficient use of network resources and
simplifying the management of network functions. Network operators and
enterprise customers can leverage software-defined networking (SDN) and
network functions virtualization (NFV) to dynamically manage network
traffic, deploy services, and respond to network conditions in real-time.
This flexibility is crucial for addressing the complex requirements of
modern telecommunications networks, which need to support a wide range of
services, from high-speed internet access to IoT applications and
ultra-reliable, low-latency communications for critical applications.
