Transforming your network infrastructure

The 5G network transformation

Vehicle-to-everything, smart cities, smart manufacturing and connected healthcare – the possibilities made real by the 5G network transformation span markets and industries.

 

We understand the technologies that underpin the 5G network transformation and modernize communications infrastructure, such as the radio access network (RAN), multi-access edge compute (MEC) and the telco cloud; as well as emerging technologies of virtualized and open RAN.

We can help you design and manufacture market-leading communications solutions for 5G/LTE, wireless, IP and optical networks, and multi-access edge computing (MEC).

 

Ready to speed your time to market and scale your product around the globe? We’re here to help you create innovative products through joint design and manufacturing services, supply chain expertise, and forward/reverse logistics capabilities.

Markets we serve

  • 5G and wireless infrastructure
  • IP and optical networking

5G and wireless infrastructure

5G will advance and accelerate innovations like autonomous cars, AR/VR, smart factories and remote healthcare. But their success will depend on a high-speed, low-latency, reliable network infrastructure.

We have the experience to design and manufacture all elements of the 5G network and deliver customized solutions exceeding requirements. This includes macrocell, massive MIMO and small cell radios, baseband and distributed units, telco edge and cloud servers as well other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, microwave and satellite.

IP and optical networking

Massive amounts of user data move between RAN, edge and cloud data centers with strict requirements on latency and reliability.

We design and manufacture the products that enable fiber to the home (FTTH), optical backbones, datacenter interconnect, metro ethernet, IP and SDN networking. Whether you need data to move within local, metro or wide area networks, we’ve got you covered.
