RAN Connect 6681
RAN Connect 6681 is a versatile 600 Gbps compact indoor solution designed for a variety of interface setups. It allows the aggregation of multiple radio traffic streams, enhancing the efficiency of RAN compute resources. The product emphasizes programmability, scalability, and energy efficiency. It supports eCPRI packet-based fronthaul, which is becoming the standard in open RAN environments. Ericsson’s RAN Connect reflects the transition from closed, vendor-specific systems to interoperable and programmable platforms. For CSPs, this translates to greater flexibility, lower costs, and networks that are prepared for the future.
Main features:
- 600 Gbps capacity
- 6x25 GE+18x50 GE+2x200 GE interfaces
- 1 RU, 19”, 340mm depth

Efficiency
Unleash the full potential of RAN Compute
through improved utilization of the compute power.
It enables up to 33% more radios per RAN Compute
Resilience
Industry leading sync solution with RAN centric sync
features and simultaneous fronthaul and backhaul
sync support. Up to 15x longer hold-over for TDD radios
Ready for the future
Enables an easy evolution to Cloud RAN deployments as well as Centralized RAN by taking the first step aggregating to a common fronthaul interface. With this first step, all possibilities are open for new network architectures and increased traffic.
Accelerate your journey to high performance with RAN Connect
Ericsson RAN Connect introduces a unified high-capacity fronthaul solution that aggregates several of your radios or radio sites to a single AI-powered platform – giving you scalable performance on-demand, enhanced RAN compute power and significantly lower operational costs through new remote radio rehoming possibilities.
