SAN JOSE, Calif.
and BARCELONA, Spain,
Feb 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of
semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for
enterprise, data center, wired and wireless networking, today
announced that it will showcase its wide array of complementary
technologies for SDN, NFV and C-RAN targeting advanced 4G and 5G
networks using Cavium's ThunderX COTS ARMV8 processors, OCTEON
Fusion-M baseband processors, OCTEON Multi-Core Processors,
LiquidIO Intelligent NICs and LiquidSecurity key management
solutions at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The ability to seamlessly integrate new technologies such as
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) which removes the constraints
of fixed function network components and allows scalable
multi-function networks, Cloud RAN (C-RAN) a special use case of
NFV for centralizing and managing varying Radio Access Nodes,
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) for increasing autonomy and decision
making at the edge of the network provides an innovative and
scalable solution for many of the issues faced by carriers as they
expand existing networks and look to the needs of the 5G
future.
The significant demand for faster data rates, increased security
and lower latency connections is fueling the demand for
dramatically improved technologies to play key role in 4G networks
and will be fundamental to 5G architectures.
"The challenges inherent in next-generation carrier
networks will be simplified by virtualization technologies
including NFV and SDN," said Linley
Gwennap, Principal Analyst of The
Linley Group. "Cavium's ThunderX server processors are
optimized for these workloads, making them well suited for NFV
deployments."
Cavium will exhibit the following technology solutions at MWC
2016 Booth 2M33:
- Carrier grade NFV: Fully OPNFV compliant MontaVista
Carrier Grade NFV showcasing a complete E2E Cloud-RAN solution on a
highly scalable ThunderX ARMv8 NFV server processor.
- SDN, NFV Cloud / Centralized RAN: Fully Programmable,
low latency SDN–based RAN solution for LTE and 5G based on ThunderX
workload optimized server processors and single chip OCTEON
Fusion-M Smart Radio Head solutions supporting multiple C-RAN
splits including RLC, MAC-PHY. The demo also showcases RAN
orchestration and dynamic resource allocation using SDN
control.
- Multimode MacroCell on a Chip: OCTEON Fusion-M
multimode "Macrocell Basestation on a Chip" for LTE
Rel12/WCDMA/GSM.
- Telco Cloud and NFV acceleration: Liquid IO intelligent
server NIC cards offloading multiple functions including IPSec,
OVS, Service Function Chaining and DPI.
- Security as a Service for Telco Cloud: LiquidSecurity
appliance for high performance security and comprehensive key
management in the cloud.
"Mobile World Congress 2016 is a unique opportunity for our OEM
customers and Service Providers to see the exciting silicon and
software products from Cavium," said Syed
Ali, President & CEO of Cavium. "The rapid increase
in mobile data and the move to NFV and 5G necessitates a new
generation of silicon solutions with massive increases in
throughput and security for wireless infrastructure."
