Shortly after Mobile World Congress concluded, EdgeNectar, a provider of AI-driven private 5G and edge computing solutions for enterprises, announced that it will support 5G Open RAN using Arm’s latest technology. The company also joined his Arm® Partner Program and his 5G Solutions Lab as a partner. EdgeNectar’s converged 4G/5G core network now supports both 3GPP standardized RAN and open RAN. The company demonstrated a converged core network that interoperates with Open RAN at the Arm booth in MWC Hall 2, Stand I60, during Mobile World Congress 2024.
EdgeNectar’s converged core network, powered by Arm technology, offers several key benefits to enterprise customers:
Reduces physical footprint and is ideal for space-constrained deployments: Renowned for its efficiency and low power consumption, Arm’s technology provides critical attributes for mobile network infrastructure. Leveraging Arm’s latest advances, EdgeNectar is able to develop powerful and compact core network components. This compactness is critical for enterprise customer deployments and locations where space is at a premium. It also makes it easier to expand your network infrastructure to meet growing demands without requiring proportionally more physical space. EdgeNectar’s integrated core network can support hundreds to hundreds of thousands of subscriber devices.
Easy to Deploy – Simplify installation on-site or in cloud environments: The compact and efficient nature of EdgeNectar’s core network architecture simplifies the deployment process. Enterprise customers can deploy their core network on-site or remotely in private or public clouds. This ease of deployment is especially beneficial for rapidly deploying private 4G and 5G networks across a variety of vertical industries, such as airports, hospitals, shopping centers, and warehouses.
Simplified network management – Enables efficient network control and service provisioning. Integrating Arm technology into EdgeNectar’s core network architecture also simplifies network management. Arm 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 addresses the complex requirements of modern communications networks, which need to support a wide range of services, from high-speed Internet access to IoT applications to ultra-reliable, low-latency communications for critical applications. is very important.
