The telecommunications and cloud industries are experiencing an
increase in interest from enterprises in numerous 5G private
networks use cases. Airspan Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Airspan
Networks Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO) and Athonet are
demonstrating their use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and edge
computing technology to realize industrial and smart factory use
cases through live demos at the AWS Experience booth at Mobile
World Congress 2022 in Barcelona, Spain, February 28 – March 3.
At its AWS Experiential Demos booth, Atrium, AWS will
demonstrate a 5G Stand Alone Private Network using 100 MHz of n77
spectrum, leveraging the Airspan 5G Network In a Box/5G Starter Kit
solution and the Athonet 5G mobile core. The Airspan 5G Starter Kit
and Athonet solutions can run on both AWS Cloud and AWS Snowball
Edge, a service providing secure, rugged devices to the network
edge. The demo’s end-to-end 5G network solution includes two
Airspan indoor OpenRANGE Air Velocity 2700 radios, an Air 5G
Distributed Unit (DU) and Centralized Unit (CU), along with the
Airspan Control Platform (ACP), a single platform to manage
Airspan’s diverse portfolio of multi-technology products including
5G, 5G CBRS and Open RAN. The demo highlights how ISVs who offer 5G
RAN and 5G Core functions can leverage the scalability of AWS and
AWS cloud automation tools to quickly set up a private 5G network
on AWS.
The AWS showcase will demonstrate AWS’ ability to simplify
private networks by offering scalability, simplicity of deployment
and management, as well as how to automate critical smart factory
applications and use cases, over a live network featuring Airspan’s
5G Starter Kit. To do so, the booth will feature a mini-smart
factory floor – set to 1/50th scale, and a robotic dog.
“Combining the AWS Cloud and AWS edge compute technology with
Airspan’s leadership in 5G private network deployments and the
Athonet core is creating innovative 5G Private Network solutions
and use cases for customers and partners that are scalable and
critical for enterprises to monetize 5G technology,” said Airspan
Chairman and CEO Eric Stonestrom.
“With the Athonet 5G architecture running on AWS we can bring up
multi-vendor networks on-demand using the agility and simplicity of
the AWS Cloud and Airspan’s innovative Open RAN radio solutions,”
said Gianluca Verin, chief executive officer, Athonet. “The
solution helps end users break free from technology lock-ins and
deploy best-of-breed networks to suit their particular use case and
budget.”
