SOLiD, the leader in cellular in-building mobile coverage, and ASOCS, a leading provider of private 5G network software, today announced a partnership to deliver a complete O-RAN-compliant solution for private 5G and Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks. The joint solution enables rapid deployment of scalable private 5G campus networks with intelligent real-time positioning using the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum.
The new private 5G network solution comprises the SOLiD CBRS O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU), the ASOCS CYRUS® virtual O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU) and Centralized Unit (O-CU), and ASOCS Hermes NGP real-time positioning software. The CBRS-compliant solution, certified by the OnGo Alliance, empowers a range of mission-critical Industry 4.0 use cases, such as manufacturing automation, predictive maintenance, real-time asset tracking, and occupational health and safety.
The SOLiD CBRS O-RU complies with O-RAN ALLIANCE fronthaul specifications, supporting 4G LTE and 5G New Radio (NR) in standalone (SA) or non-standalone (NSA) architecture. The O-RU is compatible with various virtual or physical baseband products via an eCPRI interface. To improve private 5G network service agility, scalability, and efficiency, the SOLiD Fronthaul Multiplexer (MUX) technology eliminates the need for dedicated bandwidth for each RU, enabling more economical use of the CBRS spectrum.
“With the power of AI, the ASOCS software-as-a-service solution enables a cloud-based private 5G network with real-time indoor/ outdoor positioning intelligence to connect data-driven Industry 4.0 edge applications with high accuracy and low latency,” said Niv Zimmerman, vice president of solutions, ASOCS. “Together with SOLiD, we offer a unique, comprehensive solution for deploying private 5G and IIoT networks in a scalable model.”
“SOLiD is at the forefront of innovating connectivity with Open RAN architecture, changing how mobile network operators, system integrators, and manufacturers build tomorrow’s networks,” said Yong Hoon Kang, Ph.D., chief technology officer, SOLiD Americas. “The powerful combination of the SOLiD CBRS O-RAN Radio Unit and ASOCS software unleashes 5G to enable fast, turnkey deployment of robust and secure private in-building networks that transform the business environment.”
“With low latency, fast data speeds, high reliability, and solid security, the true promise of 5G over CBRS is to enable Industry 4.0 applications for greater productivity and profitability,” said Alan Ewing, executive director, OnGo Alliance. “The SOLiD and ASOCS collaboration is an outstanding example from two of our members of how 5G NR and CBRS come together to deliver exceptional performance.”
SOLiD and ASOCS have completed multiple interoperability tests proving the performance of their Open RAN technologies. To learn more, visit SOLiD and ASOCS in meeting room #1178 at MWC Las Vegas, September 26-28.

Ethernity Networks | May 10, 2021
Ethernity Networks, a leading provider of data processing offload solutions on programmable hardware for accelerating telco/cloud networks, announced today the launch of the ENET Wireless Backhaul solution, which is designed for dedicated FPGA-based appliances. The solution combines a networking capacity of up to 60Gbps with newly patented bonding technology to optimize 4G and 5G network deployments.
The ENET Wireless Backhaul solution runs on an FPGA appliance and is powered by Ethernity's ENET Flow Processor FPGA firmware and Ethernity's newly patented bonding technology. Wireless traffic is distributed uniformly across several 1GbE and 10GbE ports using integrated bonding technologies.
It will enable packet fragmentation, reassembly, and reordering for differential delay compensation as a way to connect wireless radio equipment. By continuously distributing data through various wireless links with varying speeds and technologies, the approach also enhances overall wireless efficiency and increases transmitted throughput. This allows operators to solve interruptions or slow wireless transmission caused by inclement weather while still increasing overall transmission distance.
ENET Wireless Backhaul is suitable for use in a 4G/5G Indoor or Outdoor Unit, as it includes full Carrier Ethernet Switch/Router capability as well as embedded bonding features.
The ENET Wireless Backhaul solution is currently available on Ethernity's standalone UEP-20 (Universal Edge Platform) with 10Gbps traffic spread through 10GbE and various 1GbE ports, as well as commercial off-the-shelf servers that use Ethernity's ACE-NIC FPGA SmartNICs. The solution will also be able to bond 40Gbps traffic on the new UEP-60 platform, which is set to be released in Q3/2021.
"By incorporating Ethernity's unique bonding solution for 1G and 10G links, along with our L2/L3/MPLS ENET Flow Processor, the ENET Wireless Backhaul solution delivers unmatched all-weather wireless backhaul resiliency with the best efficiency over different radio technologies," said Oded Bergman, Ethernity's VP of Products and Business Development.
