LOD, Israel, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethernity
Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing
offload solutions on programmable FPGA (field programmable gate
array) for accelerating telco/cloud networks, is pleased to
announce that it has signed a $3m
contract with a Chinese broadband network OEM.
Under the contract, Ethernity will supply its ENET 4820 and ENET
5200 FPGA System-on-Chip (SoC) devices with support for four
Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) Optical Line Termination
(OLT) ports and four 10Gbps XGS-PON OLT MAC ports, respectively, or
for different combinations thereof. The SoCs will enable the two
types of PON for use in the OEM's 5G fronthaul products, as well as
other fiber access deployments.
The total initial committed order, valued at approximately
$3,000,000 from a mix of the FPGA
SoCs, accrues from 2022 into 2023 with additional orders
anticipated thereafter.
Ethernity's ENET 5200 10G XGS-PON OLT SoC focuses on resolving
major infrastructure issues related to the deployment of 5G cell
towers, as detailed in a recent article in Lightwave Magazine by
Ethernity's David Levi. The OEM will
base its XGS-PON and GPON offerings on a unique architecture that
utilizes a low-cost enterprise switch, as well as Ethernity's FPGA
SoC with advanced traffic management, and the OLT PON MACs.
David Levi, CEO, Ethernity
Networks said: "This is Ethernity's largest single contract
since the company's IPO in 2017 and builds on the multiple new
contract wins and orders over the last six months. We are immensely
pleased to have converted our PON technology into a deployable
product via this significant entry into the Chinese marketplace,
and plan to extend this offering to other worldwide markets. The
addition of PON to our global implementations is a validation of
our statement that Ethernity's products cover network processing
'from the tower to the 5G core.'"
