Demonstrates Industry-leading NFV, SDN and C-RAN solutions for LTE-A & upcoming 5G Infrastructure deployments
SAN JOSE, CA, BARCELONA, SPAIN Feb 22, 2016 – Cavium,
Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable
intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired and wireless
networking, today announced that it will showcase its wide array of
complementary technologies for SDN, NFV and C-RAN targeting advanced 4G and 5G
networks using Cavium’s ThunderX COTS ARMV8 processors, OCTEON Fusion-Mbaseband processors, OCTEON Multi-Core Processors, LiquidIO Intellignet NICs
and LiquidSecurity key management solutions at this week's Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona , Spain.
The ability to seamlessly integrate new technologies
such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV) which removes the constraints of
fixed function network components and allows scalable multi function networks,
Cloud RAN (C-RAN) a special use case of NFV for centralizing and managing
varying Radio Access Nodes, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) for increasing autonomy
and decision making at the edge of the network provides an innovative and
scalable solution for many of the issues faced by carriers as they expand
existing networks and look to the needs of the 5G future.
The significant demand for faster data rates, increased
security and lower latency connections is fueling the demand for dramatically
improved technologies to play key role in 4G networks and will be fundamental to
5G architectures.
“The challenges inherent in next-generation carrier
networks will be simplified by virtulization technologies including NFV and
SDN,” said Linley Gwennap, Principal Analyst of The Linley Group. “Cavium’s
ThunderX server processors are optimized for these workloads, making them well
suited for NFV deployments.”
Cavium will exhibit the following technology solutions
at MWC 2016 Booth 2M33:
- Carrier grade NFV: Fully OPNFV compliant MontaVista Carrier Grade NFV showcasing a complete E2E Cloud-RAN solution on a highly scalable ThunderX ARMv8 NFV server processor.
- SDN, NFV Cloud / Centralized RAN: Fully Programmable, low latency SDN–based RAN solution for LTE and 5G based on ThunderX workload optimized server processors and single chip OCTEON Fusion-M Smart Radio Head solutions supporting multiple C-RAN splits including RLC, MAC-PHY. The demo also showcases RAN orchestration and dynamic resource allocation using SDN control.
- Multimode MacroCell on a Chip: OCTEON Fusion-M multimode “Macrocell Basestation on a Chip” for LTE Rel12/WCDMA/GSM..
- Telco Cloud and NFV acceleration: Liquid IO intelligent server NIC cards offloading multiple functions including IPSec, OVS, Service Function Chaining and DPI.
- Security as a Service for Telco Cloud: LiquidSecurity appliance for high performance security and comprehensive key management in the cloud..
“Mobile World Congress 2016 is a unique opportunity for our
OEM customers and Service Providers to see the exciting silicon and software
products from Cavium,” said Syed Ali, President & CEO of Cavium. “The rapid
increase in mobile data and the move to NFV and 5G necessitates a new
generation of silicon solutions with massive increases in throughput and
security for wireless infrastructure.”
