Optical Fronthaul

Portfolio

Ericsson Fronthaul 6000 serve all RAN connectivity with a superior and flexible 5G optical platform. It is a flexible and cost-efficient solution for Ethernet, CPRI and eCPRI transport, separately or together. It offers market-leading fiber density, 25G capacity and negligible latency to achieve leading-edge 5G radio performance, even in the densest deployment areas, where RAN centralization plays an increasingly important role. 

 

Fronthaul 6000 passive

  • Provides DWDM filters for 24 services over a single fiber
  • Standalone applications or combined with the active boxes
  • Support any network topology
  • Meets the requirements on low possible cost and small footprint

 

Fronthaul 6000 active

  • Provides transponders and management
  • High density variants with low footprint
  • Supports CPRI, (e)CPRI,and Ethernet protocols
  • Speeds up to 25Gbit/s
  • Meets the requirements of very low latency (<0.5 μs)

 

Ericsson colored optics (small form pluggable) 

  • Ericsson qualified, certified and tested
  • Cost effective 10G Gbps and 25 Gbps variants
  • C- Band and O-band applications
  • Fixed or full tunable modules.
OUR KEY BENEFITS
