Telecommunication operators have relied on circuit-switched networks for decades, using analog or digital signaling technology to establish connections between telephones, fax machines, and PBXs. The rapid expansion of 4G networks and the arrival of 5G networks, as well as strong customer demand for value-added services, network slicing, and other services, requires the implementation of disaggregation and open specifications by operators in order to enhance innovation, meet customers’ needs faster, and remain ahead of the trend.
We’re enabling mobile operators to move away from proprietary and monolithic infrastructure to disaggregated, fully interoperable systems by developing a disaggregated cell site gateway (DCSG) solution. They can therefore deploy the best available software and hardware components, reduce costs for new services, and accelerate time to market. The specifications for Disaggregated Cell Site Gateways are intended to define an open and disaggregated platform based on commercially available components and open source software that can replace traditional cell site solutions – such as proprietary routing appliances and Microwave IDU – while reducing costs associated with deployment and providing scalability for last-mile evolution.
A service provider most commonly begins to disaggregate their transport network at the cell site since it offers the greatest impact with the lowest capital investment. Upgrades can be done one by one without affecting the rest of the network through the cell site architecture.
Ufispace, a provider of 5G networking solutions, has developed a disaggregated cell site gateway for building 5G networks, the S9500-30XS, which enables service providers to deliver next-generation services and is composed of the following components:
Disaggregated cell site gateway (DCSG) is a relatively new service in the telecommunications industry. It combines two services, namely a CSG and a virtualized core packet network (vCPN). It was designed with the intent of creating open, efficient, and disaggregated IP solutions that network operators can utilize to establish networks quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively. The vCPN provides all of the data plane functions required to support the core functions of a telecom company. This includes routing and forwarding, as well as mobility management for voice and data traffic. The CSG provides functionality for cellular operators to support the provisioning of their services.
In order to aggregate mobile traffic, the disaggregated cell site gateway functions as an access network router. This router is capable of running interchangeable open network software in a white box. In the past, mobile base stations have typically been connected to the backhaul using monolithic, tightly integrated cell site gateways. With disaggregation, software and hardware are decoupled and operators are given the choice to select vendors for each component of the system. The use of open standards on nonproprietary equipment allows any hardware to be paired with any open standard software feature. This allows for more people to develop features, fosters innovation and provides more choices.
As the Internet of Everything develops and grows, more and more devices will need to be connected to the Internet. To use the current smartwatches, you will need a Bluetooth connection with your smartphone. In order for the cameras at home to work, they must be connected to Wi-Fi. Because of the pandemic, work and education are mostly conducted at home, requiring an internet connection. Due to this, 5G has gained a lot of attention in many countries in order to ensure smooth connectivity in the Internet of Everything era.
Telecommunications Companies may use disaggregated cell site gateway solutions to increase mobile bandwidth capacity in preparation for the 5G transition while keeping compatibility with existing networks and ensuring a smooth transfer without adding expenses. Businesses, developers, health sectors, individuals and even countries have benefited from DCSG’s innovation:
The Internet has been used to connect remote computers around the world. Since we have nothing to do with the Internet if we are offline, everyone wants to access information from the Internet through a computer and other connected devices. In the age of mobile Internet, connected devices have become lighter phones and tablets. Leading companies are developing faster-speed routers in order to improve the efficiency of information transmission.
Network infrastructure needs to be more flexible and efficient than ever before because of 5G and consumer demand for innovative services. An integrated open transport network can enable a flexible future with greater capability in implementing new services as they emerge with a 5G ready network that is able to scale up.
