NFVI acceleration

OpenRAN mania is officially underway, it seems, with spending on OpenRAN compatible kit and software going through the roof in the first quarter of his year. The news comes courtesy of estimates from analyst firm Dell’Oro,

We recently wrote about how 5G can help progress telemedicine and expand its reach to new applications. In a similar vein, Daniel Kraft spoke about how COVID-19 has led us to invest in precision medicine in

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

As 5G masts roll out in big cities around the world, there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of posts circulating the internet about 5G health concerns and conspiracy theories. Although it is tempting

COVID-19 has affected us all over the past year and a half. For some, the hardship has been all too personal. While others have remained healthy, COVID-19 has still changed almost everyone’s lives, in one way

Telemedicine and remote healthcare have been around ever since technology could support them. The past year and half in particular have shown just how critical telemedicine and remote healthcare can be. With countries in lockdown and

For nearly five years, SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) has been successfully adopted by ever more enterprises to connect to branchoffices via virtual private networks (VPNs) over the internet, saving them on both operating and capital

SmartNICs, as you might imagine, are network interface cards (NICs) with a brain. This brain can be a CPU, FPGA, or ASIC chip, but whatever the case, it allows the SmartNIC to offload processing that would

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

The 3GPP 5G specifications have been evolving in stages into the new CUPS (control and user plane separation) architecture which is fundamental for 5G. The Serving Gateway (SGW) and PDN Gateway (PGW) functions have been split

Communications service providers (CommSPs) are growing more confident in the ability of network functions virtualization (NFV) to deliver carrier-grade voice and data services. This is thanks to the maturing NFV ecosystem and the growing number of

Traditionally, monolithic network deployments have incorporated a base station at the cell tower, which has included therein all the necessary data processing to then forward the data on to the core of the network. Among the

COVID-19 has affected us all over the past year and a half. For some, the hardship has been all too personal. While others have remained healthy, COVID-19 has still changed almost everyone’s lives, in one way

As service providers are rapidly upgrade their infrastructure, moving from 1Gbps demarcation to 10G and even 100G connections at the network edge, the cost of laying new fiber to handle the transmission is prohibitive. New, intelligent
