Radisys Advances 5G Service Delivery Innovation with MobilityEngine
Radisys®
Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a global leader of open telecom
solutions, today introduced the evolution of its CellEngine™ product
line to MobilityEngine™,
a portfolio of disaggregated Radio Access Network (RAN) software
solutions and services that enable mobile service providers to evolve
their access networks from LTE (News - Alert)-Advanced to 5G.
The 5G network infrastructure market is expected to grow aggressively,
with a predicted $28B in annual spend by the end of 2025, making service
providers seek out not only technically disruptive solutions to meet 5G
application demand, but commercially disruptive as well. Radisys, with
its CellEngine heritage of market-leading small cell RAN solutions, its
telecom hardware and system integration expertise, its experience with
cloud business models and commitment to open architectures and ecosystem
such as Open Networking Foundation, xRAN Foundation and the Telecom
Infra Project, is well poised with MobilityEngine to address these
complex challenges and enable mobile service providers to significantly
reduce CapEx and OpEx as they roll out their 5G networks.
Highlights:
-
While 5G standardization efforts are still evolving, service providers
are eager to begin early deployments to meet industry requirements for
ultra-low latency and high bandwidth connectivity that will power the
forecasted 50 billion connected IoT devices by 2020.
-
Radisys' MobilityEngine is an open 5G RAN platform and services
offering that supports LTE-Advanced network deployments today, while
delivering an easy migration path to 5G. It enables a phased 5G
rollout approach to prep mobile service providers for mass scale 5G
deployments in the near future.
-
MobilityEngine is based on the 5G Technical Forum (TF) specification
with a roadmap in place to support 5G New Radio (NR) Non Standalone
(NSA) mode as well as 5G NR Standalone (SA) Mode for the delivery of
new advanced services. By supporting early 5G network investments,
MobilityEngine provides early adopters with a time-to-market advantage
as they move to commercializing 5G services with the completion ofthe
3GPP 5G specification in 2018.
-
MobilityEngine's LTE-Advanced and 5G mobile access solutions run the
gamut of deployment scenarios, from supporting small cell deployments
with thousands of users in a concentrated area to enabling virtualized
RAN deployments running on general compute baseband units.
-
MobilityEngine supports emerging 5G services at the edge of the
network and enables network slicing as part of a MEC (Multi-access
Edge Computing) architecture to enable new use cases, increase
operational efficiencies and reduce costs. For example in an
enterprise scenario, MobilityEngine could enable the local breakout of
user data from the network edge to enable localized control and
enhanced security, without having to support backhaul of the
connections.
-
MobilityEngine can also be deployed in a CORD (Central Office
Re-architected as a Datacenter) architecture as it disaggregates the
access technology from the core network, supporting open standard APIs
and the separation of software from the underlying hardware.
-
With a modular platform approach, a phased rollout of 5G that aligns
with standards progression, and end-to-end integration services,
Radisys is enabling service providers to deploy 5G services with
improved time-to-market and lower cost.
"The advent of 5G service delivery and the corresponding transformation
of mobile service providers' access networks has led to a watershed
moment for the industry as a whole, as vertical proprietary systems are
replaced with open components from multiple vendors," said Monica
Paolini, principal analyst, Senza Fili Consulting. "This opens the door
for companies such as Radisys without legacy infrastructure deployed to
deliver 5G platforms based on open standards and APIs to meet service
providers' needs."
"Radisys has long been the recognized leader in delivering RAN solutions
to meet mobile service providers' evolving network requirements," said
Neeraj Patel, vice president and general manager, MobilityEngine,
Radisys. "MobilityEngine is the evolution of our award-winning
CellEngine portfolio. While CellEngine enabled mobile service providers'
small cell deployments for added network capacity and coverage,
MobilityEngine delivers broader support for their access technology
requirements in open architectures, while delivering much needed
reductions in TCO. I am proud to introduce MobilityEngine to continue
our rich heritage of delivering disruptive enabling technology solutions
to power the 5G era."
