At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Lanner Electronics unveiled its new AstraEdge™ AI Servers, purpose-built to accelerate AI-driven Radio Access Networks (AI-RAN) by enabling AI inference, RAN functions, and high-performance packet processing to run together at the network edge.
BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lanner Electronics, a global leader in edge AI and network appliance platforms, today announced the launch of its new AstraEdge™ AI Servers: the ECA-6710 and ECA-5555. Purpose-built to accelerate AI-driven Radio Access Networks (AI-RAN), the platforms will debut at MWC 2026 in Hall 5, Booth 5C86.
As telecom networks evolve toward AI-native architectures, Lanner's new compact, short-chassis servers are designed to seamlessly co-locate AI inference, RAN functions, and high-performance packet processing at the network edge. By integrating dedicated accelerators directly into the RAN infrastructure, AstraEdge™ AI platforms enable real-time tasks such as radio resource allocation, interference mitigation, and network self-optimization—drastically improving throughput, latency, and energy efficiency.
AstraEdge™ AI Platforms Portfolio Highlights:
- ECA-6710 MGX Server: A 42cm-depth platform powered by the NVIDIA Grace™ CPU C1, NVIDIA L40S GPUs, and the NVIDIA BlueField®-3 DPU. It delivers high compute density and efficient data movement to accelerate AI inference, data processing, and network offloading.
- ECA-5555 AI-RAN Server: Features an Intel® Xeon® 6 SoC with built-in vRAN Boost, IEEE 1588 precision time synchronization, and NVIDIA L40S GPU acceleration. Ruggedized for extreme environments (-40°C to 55°C), this server ensures precise timing and predictable latency for demanding vRAN and Open RAN workloads.
"AI-RAN is shifting radio networks from static infrastructure to dynamic, thinking systems," said Jeans Tseng, CTO of Lanner Electronics. "AstraEdge AI Servers embed this intelligence directly at the telco cell sites, giving operators the carrier-grade reliability and raw compute power they need to turn real-time data into optimized, autonomous 5G networks."
Attendees at MWC 2026 are invited to the Lanner booth to explore how the AstraEdge portfolio can scale next-generation RAN infrastructure.
