SAN JOSE, Calif. and
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium™, Inc.,
a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable secure and
intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, and wired and
wireless networking, will showcase a number of technologies
incorporating the company's award winning OCTEON, OCTEON Fusion–M,
OCTEON TX™ and ThunderX2 SoCs at Mobile World Congress 2018. The
conference will start on Monday February
26 and run through Thursday March 1,
2018, in Barcelona,
Spain.
Cavium will present its vision for next-generation 5G Radio
Access Networks, FWA and IoT deployments, SDN core networks, and
telco cloud and edge infrastructure solutions. The company's MWC
presence will include several networking demonstrations and will
highlight its key contributions to industry associations, such as
the Telecom Infra Project's (TIP) OpenCellular program and the Open
Network Foundation's CORD program.
"Cavium is well aware that there is not a 'one-size-fits-all' 5G
NR deployment model," said Raj Singh, Vice President and General
Manager of Cavium's Network and Communications Group.
"Instead different operators will have different approaches.
Some will be incremental and co-exist with LTE, some will focus on
specific use cases such as fixed wireless access. Others will
incorporate split RAN architectures and core network
virtualization. Whichever approach an operator decides to
implement, Cavium has the technology to make it work."
Cavium will host visitors and present live demonstrations in
Hall 2, booth number 2M61. The following technologies will be
covered:
- 5G NR solutions – next generation OCTEON Fusion-M and
OCTEON TX silicon for basestations and remote radio heads, new 3GPP
protocol stack split implementations, massive MIMO
capabilities.
- Fixed Wireless Access base stations - live demonstration
featuring an OEM–designed 3–sector eNodeB incorporating a single
CNF73xx processor running LTE software based on Cavium's L1–L3
stack.
- ONF M–CORD IoT use case - SDN, NFV, C–RAN and MEC live
demonstration featuring a pre–5G IoT use case running on the
ONF–defined open source M–CORD platform. This proof of concept
(POC) demonstration features the following Cavium silicon and
software implementations:
-
- Distributed Unit (DU) – OCTEON Fusion–M based
intelligent radio head running Cavium's implementation of 3GPP
fronthaul split options 2 and 5 LTE PHY.
- Central Unit (CU) – ThunderX2 baseband implementation
running Cavium's implementation of 3GPP fronthaul split options 2
and 5 LTE stack software.
- Core Network – ThunderX2 servers hosting a vEPC,
ONF XOS orchestration software and ONOS-controlled XPliant®
programmable SDN switch fabric.
- Production Version of the Telecom Infra Project Connect -
LTE Base station
-
- Announced in 2016, the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) Connect–LTE
base station design is now ready for the first round of field
trials. This live demonstration features a commercial prototype
Connect–LTE eNodeB featuring the OCTEON Fusion–M CNF7130 baseband
processor and Cavium's TIP–contributed LTE stack software. The
demonstration also includes an OCTEON TX–based edge server running
a vEPC and open source edge applications providing content caching,
firewall and media server functions.
- Universal CPE
-
- Live demonstration of OCTEON TX ARMv8-based uCPE white box with
commercial NFV applications.
Other Cavium-enabled networking demonstrations will be present
at the Conference, including:
- Virtualized Mobile Core Network – a complete end-to-end
containerized mobile network with live traffic on commercial UEs,
will be shown in the ARM booth (Hall 6 Stand 6E30)
Network Slicing – end-to-end network slicing running Netsia's
ProgRAN on M-CORD. Orchestrated by ONAP and delivered through
XPliant P4-enabled switches with OCTEON Fusion-M remote radio
units. This demonstration can be found at the Open Networking
Foundation booth in Hall 5 number 5I61 and the Netsia booth in Hall
1 number 1C40.
