News Highlights
Companies collaborated on efficient ultra short form factor design to provide a high performance, cost optimised edge platform that lowers the entry threshold to deploy Open RAN.
Platform allows deployment in virtually any cabinet type and provides flex-configuration via PCIe expansion to enable additional acceleration or band support based on site utilisation.
QuantaEdge EGX77B-1U Carrier-Grade Ultra Short Depth Server uses 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost.
First deployments are planned in select markets to meet stringent site environmental and power consumption requirements.
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mavenir and QCT collaborate with Intel to introduce the QuantaEdge EGX77B-1U short form factor server to support Open RAN deployments.
The QuantaEdge EGX77B-1U is a short depth (300mm), low power consumption, highly expandable Multi-Access Edge Computing server featuring the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor with Intel vRAN Boost and expandable memory for centralized and distributed Radio Access Networks that are ORAN, TIP, and NEBS GR63 Level 3 and GR3108 Class 2 compliant for 4G and 5G services. Detailed specifications of the EGX77B-1U can be found at both the Mavenir and QCT booths at Mobile World Congress.
Mavenir has been working with Intel diligently to harness and realise the benefits of Intel 4th Gen Xeon processors with Intel vRAN boost. The close collaboration has yielded extensive optimisations among the DU software, Intel’s processor, and the latest advancements in Intel’s FlexRAN reference software across 4G and 5G. These new capabilities and features will now be available on DU platforms, including QuantaEdge EGX77B-1U.
Mike Yang, President of QCT said, “QCT is pleased to collaborate with leading partners in the wireless ecosystem, like Mavenir and Intel, to enable innovations taking advantage of 5G Open RAN.
