Private 5G uCPE Completely Meet Enterprise Demand
7/30/2024
Background
This digital transformation is impacting technology, data processing, manufacturing processes and organizational structures used by enterprises. It is driving increased use of artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) and analytics. 5G cellular technology is a critical link to expanding enterprise digital transformation. Private 5G network services from communications services providers (CoSPs) promise fast throughput speeds, low latency and extensive connectivity making them ideal for IoT networks.
Challenges
- The need to hire new technical talent to build and maintain the network.
- the need to license spectrum to build their own network.
- A private 5G managed service will require an on-premises universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) server.
Download Our Successful Solution
Intel® Network Builders ecosystem companies Accelleran, Advantech, and Enea have come together to create a cost-effective turnkey radio access network (RAN) solution for private 5G deployments that allows CoSPs to deploy new services that enable enterprise, IoT and digital transformation applications. The solution includes the remote radio unit (RRU) as well as the software and Intel® architecture server that processes the radio signals. RAN software is composed of a distributed unit (DU), providing real time L1 and L2 scheduling, and a centralized unit (CU) for non-real time, L2 and L3 signal processing. RAN functions are virtualized and run on top of a cloud native (containerized) or network functions virtualization (NFV) software stack.
