Millimeter wave is usually seen as the heavyweight of 5G. Huge capacity, huge complexity. Druid and Microamp set out to challenge that idea with a live demonstration that powered up a Druid Raemis™ 5G Core, connected it through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), activated a Microamp 5G mmWave gNB, onboarded a CPE, and pushed full gigabit traffic in minutes. This was not a controlled lab script. It was a real edge deployment using real hardware and cloud automation.

Cloud First: Raemis 5G Core on OCI and OCI RED

The Raemis 5G Core was deployed on OCI, managed by Druid’s Distributed Network Manager. Tapping into OCI RED for secure, reliable connectivity, the setup allowed the core to control and configure remote edge sites without friction.

In Microamp’s Warsaw lab, a fresh Raemis installation sat idle. No license. No connectivity. No configuration. The moment the system was unlocked to reach the DNM (Distributed Network Manager) on OCI, everything changed:

  • The connection indicator flipped from red to green
  • Licensing was delivered automatically
  • Subscriber profiles and APNs appeared
  • Interfaces and network settings populated in real time

A bare installation turned into a ready-to-run private 5G core almost instantly.

Millimeter Wave Comes Online Fast

Microamp’s 5G mmWave gNodeB, built for high-capacity indoor and outdoor deployments, was powered up next. Within about one minute, the Raemis core recognized a new cell operating on band n257 with 400 MHz of bandwidth. Right after that, a Microamp mmWave CPE attached to the network. It received its IP address, moved into active state, and began sending data immediately. The Raemis GUI updated live, showing each step as the mmWave network came online.

Real Gigabit Throughput, Delivered

To show what the system could actually do, the team used a laptop behind the CPE in IP pass-through mode and pushed load with iPerf. The results were exactly what you want to see from millimeter wave:

  • Around 2 Gbps downlink
  • Around 240–250 Mbps uplink

The Raemis dashboard mirrored the same numbers. Pure mmWave capacity, no tricks, no theoretical charts, just live performance.

Why This Demo Matters

Private 5G is evolving from heavy infrastructure to fast, agile, cloud-managed deployments. This demonstration proved a few key points:

  • The Druid Raemis 5G Core, running on OCI and connected via OCI RED, can configure a remote edge site in seconds
  • Microamp mmWave gNBs and CPEs can be brought online quickly with full visibility through Raemis
  • Millimeter wave no longer requires long integration cycles
  • Gigabit speeds can be validated almost immediately after bringing the system up

It’s a clear look at how private 5G should work: fast to deploy, simple to manage, and powerful right from the first connection.
