The all-in-one solution brings a secure, reliable, turn-key solution to small and medium-sized enterprises, accelerating digital transformation.
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Summary:
- ADLINK's MicroRAN 5G private network provides an economical turn-key solution for small and medium-sized enterprises
- ADLINK, Askey and Ataya, as strategic partners, will jointly build and develop the all-in-one solution, and commit to assist enterprises in their intelligent transformation
- The MicroRAN 5G private network solution will initially be deployed in Taiwan with focus on smart manufacturing, and then target the Asia-Pacific region, followed by the global market
ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing solutions, announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Askey and Ataya to become strategic partners for 5G private networks, jointly creating and promoting the MicroRAN 5G private network all-in-one solution to bring secure, reliable, turn-key solutions for smart manufacturing applications of small and medium-sized enterprises.
5G private networks bring digital transformation opportunities for smart manufacturing; provide highly reliable, stable, secure, lower latency network connectivity; and enable enterprises to implement many key applications. However, due to the high cost and complexity of 5G deployment, many small and medium-sized enterprises have been unable to use 5G to update and upgrade their traditional factories. In view of this, ADLINK is launching the MicroRAN 5G private network solution, and jointly building and developing it with strategic partners. ADLINK is providing the MEC server, Askey providing the Small Cell, and Ataya providing Harmony Universal Connectivity (including 5G core network software) to create an all-in-one turnkey solution.
Askey Computer, a global provider of netcom solutions that co-signed the memorandum of cooperation, has been investing in telecommunication technology development for many years, with a focus on enterprise private networks, Internet of vehicles, and civil IoT. According to Askey, the development of a high-quality and easy-to-install 5G all-in-one small cell, Wi-Fi Enterprise Wireless Solution (WiFi EWS) and other customer premises equipment (CPE), can provide enterprises with a one-stop integrated service, which can help build a more stable, high-security, and streamlined high-speed data transmission enterprise private network.
The all-in-one 5G private network solution jointly launched by ADLINK, Askey and Ataya aims to solve many problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in building 5G, including high construction costs, complex network architecture, integration bottlenecks with existing Wi-Fi and wired devices, and network security management. The solution is characterized by cost-effective and efficient deployment, security and reliability. The minimalist software and hardware architecture is easy to install; it supports 5G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, and is compatible with old and new terminal equipment. For network security, different scenarios such as terminal equipment, time, and location security management are considered. The all-in-one solution provides an integrated UI screen to facilitate unified control, using the frequency bands dedicated for private networks (for example n79 in Taiwan) to protect enterprise data. In addition, hardware servers and Small Cells support wide temperature range operation to allow flexible installation, negating the need for dedicated data centers or computer rooms to provide heat dissipation, saving customers significant construction costs.
Rajesh Pazhyannur, CEO of Ataya, said, "The diversified 5G private network construction mode makes the mobile private network no longer just the realm of large enterprises. Ataya provides a lightweight but multifunctional private network platform service. Through the concept of Network as a Service, it integrates the network architecture to achieve a good end-to-end user experience, allowing enterprises to easily deploy and complete configuration of the 5G private network service."
Eric Kao, general manager of ADLINK's network communication and Automotive business unit, said, "5G private networks play a key role in the digital transformation of enterprises. ADLINK has more than 25 years of experience in R&D and manufacturing of network communication products. When a modern factory introduces various types of automated and networked production equipment, the requirements for the network communication system required for the digitization of the factory and the interconnection and common interface standards between machines and tools also increase accordingly. Combining the expertise and advantages of ADLINK, Askey and Ataya in terms of software and hardware, and autonomous mobile robots (Autonomous Mobile Robot, AMR), we believe that more small and medium-sized manufacturing industries will benefit."
ADLINK will continue to cooperate with strategic partners, initially in Taiwan, to promote the MicroRAN 5G private network all-in-one solution, then focus on Asia-Pacific followed by the global market. We are committed to providing the most secure, reliable network turn-key solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises that provide a higher return on investment with a lower total cost of ownership.
