Amazon, Verizon partner on new 5G WaveLength product

From www.cnbc.com - December 11, 2019 12:27 AM

Amazon is using next-generation 5G wireless networks to help businesses download data from the cloud faster.

At Amazon Web Services’ annual re:Invent conference on Tuesday, AWS CEO Andy Jassy said the company is introducing a new service, called WaveLength, which puts technology from AWS “at the edge of the 5G network,” or closer to users’ devices. It has the potential to deliver single-digit millisecond latencies to users, according to Amazon.

At launch, Amazon is partnering with Verizon to incorporate WaveLength technology into parts of its wireless network. Amazon is also working with other global partners, such as Vodafone, KDDI and SK Telecom.

Lower latency is one of the big benefits that’s expected to arrive with 5G networks. This means it doesn’t take as long for devices to communicate with each other. For users, it results in fewer disruptions and shorter lag times when streaming videos, among other applications. 5G has the potential for many business-to-business applications, such as improving connectivity of IoT devices in manufacturing, self-driving, health care and other areas, in addition to consumer applications, such as faster streaming on phones.

“The connectivity and the speed is just two things,” Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg said on stage Tuesday at AWS’ re:Invent conference. “We can with 5G now bring the processing out to the edge because we have a virtualized network.”

With the partnership, AWS’ compute, storage, database and analytics tools are all “embedded” at the edge of 5G networks, Jassy said in an interview with CNBC’s Jon Fortt that aired Tuesday.

“That means now you only go from the device to the metro aggregation site, which is where the 5G tower is, where AWS is embedded there, and you get AWS,” Jassy said. “So it totally changes the response rates and the latency and what you can get done.”

Amazon is launching WaveLength at a time when excitement is ramping up around 5G networks. The technology is expected to be used more broadly by device makers, carriers and cable companies in 2020.

Philippe J DEWOST's insight:

Interesting announcement made by Amazon about an AWS technology being embedded in 5G towers, rather than an offering announced by Verizon with Amazon as a pioneer customer...

RuggedPod 4G-LTE Base Station resets CAPEX and OPEX standards in mobile by an order of magnitude

From www.horizon-computing.com - November 13, 2015 4:31 AM

Horizon teamed up with Amarisoft to deliver the first small cell 4G LTE system based on x86 industry standard microprocessor.

Amarisoft software does support eNodeB functions including PHY Layer, Protocol layer, and network interface layer including IPv6, as well as core network features to manage users access and interoperability with existing installation making it an highly flexible 4G LTE implementation. Associated with the power and flexibility of linux it does bring endless possibilities to its end user to implement new services or business model, to expand 4G and Internet access deployment.

More information can be found on Amarisoft webpage: http://www.amarisoft.com

Currently targeting developers, small telco companies and people who are willing to deploy Internet access around the world, this first development POD comes with:

An integrated SDR solution directly connected to the x86 motherboard through a PCIe connection. This solution covers frequencies from 70Mhz to 6Ghz and doesn’t require any external hardware to implement a 4G network. The signal can be either amplified to build up a production based station or use outdoor antennas connected through sealed SMA connectors.
Enough computing power to drive this SDR solutions and many IP services on top of it.

The solution provides a 10m signal range through a 10mW max power antenna solution (with 4 antennas 2×2 MIMO). Multiples POD can be synced using GPS clock signal available through a fith antenna.

Amarisoft and Horizon are working with AW2S on stronger signal support which can deliver dual 20W amplifier signals allowing to expand coverage to proprietary cell tower class. Please get in touch with us as to get more informations on this solution.

The dual socket Xeon E5 v3 motherboard included within this developer kit is providing enough computing power as to support with a single Xeon E5 2618Lv3 up to 3 Antennas as to emulate a full cell tower, leaving up to 2 full core for additionnal features.

The motherboard includes high resiliency hardware functions like ECC memory support to lower system failure and improve stability.

The ASPEED IPMI controller provides full features remote management function, and simplify remote operation.

Relying on industry standard hardware the solution lower OPEX by a 3 digit percentage as it doesn’t requires any specific training, and can be easily upgraded.

Philippe J DEWOST's insight:

Associated with Amarisoft 4G/LTE 100 software stack, RuggedPOD is becoming one of the most cost efficient solution to deploy 4G/LTE network in harsh environments, disaster recovery situation or white zone where traditionnal telco’s do not want operate.
