SAN JOSE, CA, Feb 8th 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — 

Aarna Networks today announced a production-ready private 5G solution along with Airspan Networks, Inc. and Druid Software that is optimized for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), vertically specialized system integrators (SI), and multi-site enterprises worldwide. The solution is designed to address the growing demand for enterprise network connectivity beyond the capacity of legacy networks, such as WiFi or cabled. The technology is optimized for multi-site organizations that need to manage a large number of private 5G networks and edge sites, all managed from a single pane of glass.

Private 5G-based networks are being adopted by enterprises in verticals such as manufacturing, healthcare, education, logistics, energy, retail, agriculture, and construction to improve mobility, coverage, latency, scalability, security, and reliability. The collaboration between Aarna Networks (orchestration and management), Airspan Networks (5G RAN), and Druid Software (5G Core) is a multi-vendor partnership to bring a fully disaggregated solution to the market. The packaged offering includes Aarna Networks Multi Cluster Orchestration Platform (AMCOP), an open-source management and orchestration platform for edge environments and private 5G.

The solution includes the following components:

  • Aarna Networks Multi Cluster Orchestration Platform (AMCOP): An open source orchestration, lifecycle management, monitoring, and real-time policy driven closed loop automation platform for edge and private 5G services. 
  • Airspan RAN: provider of 5G Stand Alone (SA) radios that excel both indoors and outdoors, operating seamlessly across sub-6GHz bands. With a focus on small form factor, energy efficiency and strict adherence to 3GPP standards, Airspan radios are tailored for private networks. Airspan Control Platform (ACP) software platform seamlessly integrates with AMCOP, ensuring a hassle-free experience in network management, akin to managing a WiFi network.
  • Druid’s Raemis™ core network platform: A mature 3GPP-compliant 4G/5G platform that harnesses 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G and Wi-Fi radios from any vendor to streamline the implementation of standalone networks. It is designed for mission and business critical communications ensuring high-quality of service including capabilities for prioritization and network slicing. In addition, Raemis™ scales up as easily as it scales down, enabling the set-up of small or very large private networks, and it can be deployed on edge hardware devices or in high-dependency cloud-native environments. Built on REST API, Raemis™ facilitates seamless integration with critical enterprise applications and simplifies private network management via an intuitive user-friendly dashboard.
