Radisys® Corporation, a global leader in open telecom solutions, has unveiled its revolutionary 5G Advanced Wireless Connectivity Software tailored specifically for Industry 4.0 and private 5G networks. This breakthrough in enterprise solutions brings unprecedented capabilities for establishing private networks, ensuring enhanced performance, ease of deployment and management, as well as robust data protection with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). Radisys’ cutting-edge 5G Advanced Wireless Connectivity software equips enterprises to address the growing demand for private 5G and Industry 4.0 solutions that can adapt to evolving business requirements.
By seamlessly integrating licensed, lightly licensed (CBRS), and unlicensed Wifi access through N3IWF, the advanced software provides low latency, cloud-native solutions for both Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core networks. The cloudification of RAN and Core networks offers flexible deployment options, allowing for segregated and collocated distribution units (DU), central units (CU), and user plane functions (UPF) within a Kubernetes cloud environment. Furthermore, it enables the deployment of CU and UPF in the public cloud. This streamlined approach facilitates automation, simplifying the deployment of 5G networks and ultimately reducing capital and operational expenditures for private and Industry 4.0 5G operators.
Key features of Radisys’ 5G Advanced Wireless Connectivity Software include:
- Time Sensitive Network (TSN) and 5G Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (5G-URLLC) features for deterministic, low latency communication, addressing Industry 4.0 automation requirements.
- 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) for connecting low-cost sensors, enabling smart manufacturing processes and more.
- N3IWF (Non-3GPP Inter-working Function) to converge existing Wifi access with the 5G Core Network in enterprise and manufacturing sectors. Additionally, N3IWF integrates non-3GPP traditional and legacy access technologies with 5G, enhancing accessibility and flexibility for Industry 4.0 private and enterprise networks with reduced CapEx.
- CBRS band support with easy integration into CBRS networks via a scalable CBRS Domain Proxy, accelerating CBRS deployment for private and enterprise networks.
- Intelligent Private 5G and Industry 4.0 solutions through advanced RAN functions controlled via the ORAN E2 interface and pre-integrated with xApps/rApps and RIC platforms from different vendors.
Munish Chhabra, Head of Mobility Software and Services Business at Radisys, stated, “Recognizing the specific needs of Industry 4.0 and private 5G networks, Radisys continues to deliver innovative advanced 5G RAN and Core features to accelerate the adoption of 5G in these markets.” He emphasized Radisys’ commitment to driving innovation in wireless technologies, empowering businesses to fully utilize Industry 4.0 and the future of connectivity for private and enterprise networks through its award-winning Connect RAN 5G Software solution.
