5G

Evolve Towards a New Generation of Use Cases

5G ushers a new set of use cases, for the retail as well as the business customer segments, which were not feasible previously. It opens up new possibilities such as AR/ VR, cloud gaming, connected vehicles, remote healthcare, industrial automation and so on. Behind these new possibilities are the fundamental shift in the network architecture – both in the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the network Core.

5G RAN is designed to operate in the millimeter wavelength range in contrast to microwave frequencies of 4G RAN. These higher frequencies coupled with massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology results in higher data speed and better coverage. Another architectural shift is centered around decentralized and Open RAN architecture. The Base Band Unit (BBU) functionality is split into Radio Unit (RU), Distributed Unit (DU) and Centralized Unit (CU). As they can communicate over open interfaces, interoperability and scalability to support billions of devices across categories becomes a reality.

5G Core is designed based on virtualized Service Based Architecture, resulting in new levels of flexibility and scalability. One of the key benefits is the network slicing capabilities which can provide specific network capabilities as per the target applications in the categories of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (uRLLC).

Tejas has comprehensive 5G RAN and xHaul solutions which enable service providers to introduce 5G while allowing seamless transition from 4G, support legacy backhaul wherever needed as well. Tejas 5G RAN is a software-defined, open and disaggregated solution that offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability for network operators. It leverages the power of cloud-native architecture and open interfaces to enable rapid deployment, easy integration and cost-effective operation. Tejas 5G RAN supports both standalone and non-standalone modes, as well as multiple frequency bands and access technologies. Operators can deliver high-performance, low-latency and secure 5G services to their customers, while future-proofing their networks for emerging use cases using Tejas solutions.
