UTStarcom Announces New Product in its SkyFlux Converged Packet Transport Platform
September 29 2020 - 5:50AM
UTStarcom (“UTStarcom” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:UTSI), a global
telecommunications infrastructure provider, announced today a new
product in the SkyFlux product line, the SkyFlux SPN803S, following
the recent introduction of its cutting-edge Converged Packet
Transport platform, SkyFlux.
The product is intended to be used as an access layer node in
4G/5G transport networks, as well as serving other applications,
including edge data center interconnect and high-capacity broadband
aggregation. The product shares all the key features and benefits
of the SkyFlux Converged Packet Transport Platform, including
support of Segment Routing over MPLS (SR-MPLS) and MPLS-TP
tunneling, TDM-like Ethernet based on FlexE/G.mtn, highly accurate
time synchronization and SDN-based network intelligence and
automation. The SkyFlux SPN803S is fully compatible and designed to
work in the same network together with other SkyFlux Converged
Packet Transport platform products, including the SkyFlux SPN805S
aggregation device and SOO Station Release 3.2 SDN Controller
released earlier this year.
Dr. Zhaochen Huang, UTStarcom’s Acting Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "As 5G network rollouts accelerate, we intend to support
the industry by delivering the most needed transport network
infrastructure products designed and optimized specifically for 5G.
This new product release that is launched shortly after the initial
release of the SkyFlux Converged Packet Transport platform
demonstrates our focus on this market and ambition to be one of the
market leaders in 5G transport networking.”
UTStarcom’s Senior Vice President of Product & Technology,
Mr. Steven Chen, said, “The SkyFlux SPN803S plays a highly
important role of an Access node in our Converged Packet Transport
portfolio addressing connectivity requirements of 5G DU, CU, MEC.
It is optimized for use in 5G midhaul and backhaul networks
including the Cell-Side Router (CSR) application scenario,
providing high switching capacity of 320Gbps, and a large number of
10GE/25GE (and larger) user Ethernet interfaces needed to provide
sufficient capacity to DU/CU nodes of 5G network. High-performance
aggregation and seamless traffic forwarding over the backhaul
network is achieved in the SkyFlux SPN803S as a result of the
support of FlexE transport and Segment Routing tunnels over 50GE
and 100GE network interfaces.”
Mr. Chen continued, ”Similar to other products in the SkyFlux
Converged Packet Transport product line, the SkyFlux SPN803S
product supports hard and soft network slicing, a variety of
services, comprehensive OAM and protection mechanisms, as well as
extremely accurate time and clock synchronization, enabling
end-to-end delivery of highly accurate synchronization over the
packet network. The product benefits from the deep buffer and
strong built-in features of the advanced switching chip used in the
product, which also opens a possibility to support Segment Routing
over IPv6 data plane (SRv6) in the future (TBD). We believe this
product being an integral part of the SkyFlux eco-system will play
an important role in enabling a variety of 5G use cases and
supporting fast deployment and efficient operation of 5G
networks.”
Key features of the SkyFlux SPN803S include:
- 320Gbps switching capacity
- 1GE/10GE/25GE/50GE/100GE UNI/NNI
- 50GE/100GE FlexE NNI
- FlexE/G.mtn, FlexE/G.mtn Cross-Connect
- Segment Routing (SR-MPLS), MPLS-TP
- Highly accurate time synchronization
- 2RU chassis, 300mm depth rack installation
- 4 interface card slots
- 1+1 power supply redundancy.
