Ethernity Networks’ unique DU proposition

When Ethernity announced its 5G DU Aggregation and vRouter solution in October 2020, we knew it was a gamechanger for the Open RAN market.  It offered Open RAN network builders the ability to transfer timing to Radio Units (RU) and made it possible to aggregate several Distributed Units (DU) on the same site to further increase the power to aggregate data as it arrived from the RUs.

Moreover, thanks to Ethernity’s unique Router-on-NIC feature, it embedded MEF 3.0-compliant Carrier Ethernet services, it allowed better DU network control for a centralized router, and, in certain deployments, it allowed the use of the Ethernity SmartNIC and software stack as the actual Cell Site Router (CSR).  Thus, the data could be routed toward the Centralized Units (CUs) directly within the DU itself, eliminating the need for external CSRs attached to the DU.
