RAN Connect 6682
RAN Connect 6682 is a high-capacity fronthaul solution offering up to 1.2 Tbps throughput, making it suitable for large-scale deployments. It allows the aggregation of multiple radio traffic streams, enhancing the efficiency of RAN compute resource usage. The solution emphasizes programmability, scalability, and energy efficiency. It supports eCPRI packet-based fronthaul, which is increasingly recognized as the industry standard for open RAN environments. Ericsson’s RAN Connect exemplifies the transition from closed, vendor-specific systems to interoperable and programmable solutions. For CSPs, this means greater flexibility, lower costs, and future-proof networks.
Main features:
- 1.2 Tbps capacity
- 1x25 GE+31x50 GE+4x200 GE +2x400 GE interfaces
- 1 RU, 19”, 290mm depth
- RAN centric sync features
Key benefits:
- High performing radio sync ensures high network performance
- Remote radio re-homing reduces site visits and TCO
- Increased flexibility through any-radio-to-baseband/vDU connectivity
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.
