Controller less Access Points Market is Driven By Advancements In Technologies Such As Virtualization

Marketindustryreports | May 20, 2019

If a business grows, the employee strength and the number of clients also increase. This leads to more number of devices trying to connect to the company’s Wi-Fi network simultaneously. There exist three methods to manage multiple access points: controller-less access point clustering, direct access, and hardware-based control. The method of managing multiple controller-less access points is called clustering. In case of controller-less access points, when the user sets up and configures a single access point, all those settings are automatically pushed to other access points in the cluster. At the same time, if the user wants to make changes to access points, then user has to alter only one access point at a time and all changes are applied across all access points. In controller-less access points, one cluster of access points can allow guest access, while other clusters allow access for employees only.

Beyond virtualization

MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition (CGE) provides a Linux-based programming environment that can scale from high-performance “bare metal” dedicated spaces, to an RTOS-like multi-threaded run-time, up to a fully virtualized Linux SMP process model. Application developers can now deploy a single operating system, Linux, across all of the cores on a multi-core processor and avoid the complications of multiple run-times (e.g., Linux, an RTOS and a hypervisor).

IP Infusion Successfully Validates its Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway for Open Fronthaul Use Cases at O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2022

IP Infusion | July 26, 2022

IP Infusion, a leading provider of open network software and solutions for wireline and mobile network operators, today announced that it successfully demonstrated the maturity and stability of its OcNOS®-based Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) solution addressing Fronthaul use cases at the O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2022. O-RAN Alliance, a preeminent open technical organization comprising more than 350 companies and institutions, is transforming worldwide Radio Access Networks (RAN) to be intelligent, virtualized and fully interoperable. It features a large cross-section of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and vendors focused on the disaggregation of the RAN. IP Infusion’s OcNOS-based DCSG contributes essential operational elements of the 5G mobile network, enabling rapid deployment and proven reliability, stability and flexibility. “O-RAN Alliance’s stringent specifications for open software RAN architecture are defining the future network,” said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion. “This vigorous validation and testing in a multi-vendor environment confirms that IP Infusion’s field tested Fronthaul Switch helps operators save on costs as external timing equipment is not needed. We strongly advocate for a telecom industry that is a collaborative, virtualized RAN ecosystem of open, multi-vendor, autonomous networks focused on innovation and agility.” IP Infusion participated in multi-vendor Fronthaul testing in two independent working environments for the O-RAN Global PlugFest. O-RAN PlugFest hosted by AT&T and DISH University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) in Durham, NH, USA O-RAN PlugFest hosted by Auray Auray OTIC and Security Lab in Taoyuan City, Taiwan IP Infusion’s DCSG demonstrated advanced Timing and Synchronization capabilities critical to the Fronthaul network. The DCSG as Fronthaul Switch Solution provides unique functionality in the Fronthaul by providing an integrated Grand Master Clock reference to the RAN components. This complete Transport Timing Profile support ensures that IP Infusion is the source for Timing and Synchronization in the Fronthaul. The mature transport capabilities provide high-performance and low-latency with services such as Segment Routing, L2VPN-EVPN and L3VPN, for the RAN traffic. PlugFest Testing Specifications: End-to-End Forwarding and Latency verification of Fronthaul as per O-RAN Open xHaul Transport Working Group 9 specification O-RAN Fronthaul Working Group 4 Conformance Test Specification PlugFest Testing Scope: Multi-vendor Interoperability and integration testing of O-RAN components in a lab environment O-RAN specified end-to-end tests Open Fronthaul S-plane testing Portions of O-RAN specified Open Fronthaul Conformance tests, with a focus on the S-Plane Verification and validation of applicability of tests in a lab environment O-RAN specified Open Fronthaul Conformance tests O-RAN specified end-to-end tests IP Infusion’s solution confirmed its use case capabilities for mobile Fronthaul. Specific multi-vendor testing also showed the solution meeting or exceeding standards for: Fronthaul Switch providing Transport and Synchronization to other RAN components Integrated Grandmaster clock capability eliminating need for additional timing equipment in the Fronthaul Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) used to provide clock reference to multiple O-RUs and O-DUs Timing reference provided via 1PPS and 10MHz interfaces to O-DUs Mature services including Segment Routing, L2VPN-EVPN and L3VPN used for transporting RAN traffic Extensive Quality of Service (QoS) feature support, ensuring prioritized transport Node latency verification using external wave-form analyzer Testing scenarios established realistic deployment conditions with a spectrum of technologies, protocols, and encapsulations of the solutions under review.
