LITTLE FALLS, New Jersey,
Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ:
CRNT), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist today announced its
new Disaggregated Wireless Backhaul capabilities to address the
growing challenges associated with 5G network rollouts. Ceragon
will discuss these new capabilities and showcase its new IP-50
Platform next week at MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Spain booth 5G61. At the event,
Ceragon will additionally display its disaggregated wireless
backhaul router and run a live demo delivering 20 Gbps capacity
over mmW. The IP-50 Platform complements Ceragon's industry-leading
IP-20 Platform by offering a tailored solution to service providers
who want to disaggregate their wireless backhaul network using
merchant-silicon hardware. The first IP-50 products will be
released during the second quarter of 2019. Ceragon expects
significant revenues from the IP-50 Platform beginning in
2020.
Ceragon's new Disaggregated Wireless Backhaul solution leverages
the known industry concept of network disaggregation and pioneers
its application in the wireless backhaul space. It addresses 5G
challenges by providing multiple independent innovation paths in
radio, networking software and networking hardware technologies. To
this end, Ceragon is launching its new IP-50 Platform which will
allow for:
- Fast network densification while ensuring efficient
and innovative use of resources, such as spectrum and real-estate,
by leveraging Ceragon's unique multicore technology, which has made
its IP-20 Platform a market leader.
- New 5G use cases over one network via simpler 5G
network slicing that is essential in tailoring services to specific
needs. In addition, the use of IP/MPLS or segment routing within
the wireless backhaul infrastructure can increase operational
efficiency by eliminating the need for additional cell-site or
aggregation routers in relevant deployment scenarios.
- Flexible and fast network expansion enabled by a
wide variety of hardware options. This allows for simpler, faster
and more scalable deployments with the lowest possible total cost
of ownership by enabling the use of merchant-silicon hardware and
separating networking software from networking hardware.
- Ultra-high capacity that addresses the ever-growing
requirements for backhaul and fronthaul capacity in 5G networks
with up to 20Gbps capacity.
"Ceragon once again demonstrates an innovative approach to
resolving wireless backhaul challenges for its customers," said
Ed Gubbins, Senior Analyst Telecom
Technology & Software at GlobalData. "Applying the concept of
disaggregation to wireless backhaul allows Ceragon to offer a
complete, comprehensive portfolio to operators that will be able
deploy 5G services – at any frequency, band (microwave and
millimeter wave), capacity or networking technology - with the
highest flexibility."
"This is a very exciting time for Ceragon," said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. "Our
commitment to resolving our customers' wireless backhaul challenges
continues to fuel market-leading innovation. By adding our new
IP-50 Platform to our market-leading IP-20 Platform, complemented
by our wide-ranging professional services, we can offer additional
capabilities such as a single radio for all deployment scenarios
and market leading capacity. Ceragon is well positioned to help its
customers meet any 5G challenge and make wireless backhaul easier
than ever to deploy."
