200G Standalone 5G Wireless Core
Last Updated: Feb 27, 2019
Alex Mui, Director of Networking Software at ASTRI* explains the 5G high performing 5G Packet Core platform with virtualization technology. Using a 5G core provided by ASTRI* this performance demo shows 200G speeds achieved on a standard Intel architecture blade without any acceleration and verifies the suitability of commodity platforms for the next generation 5G Core and / or distributed out into the network edge locations. While most of the network core in today’s deployments will utilize 4G LTE for the near future, this demo also showcases how services could be deployed initially with 4G Core as part of a 5G NSA network (or expansion) and could be software upgraded later to a complete 5G SA Core that can scale to mulit-Terabit configurations.
