Napatech | February 23, 2023
At the upcoming MWC23 in Barcelona, Napatech, Advantech, and A5G Networks, Inc. will present their latest high-capacity mobile edge network infrastructure solution at Napatech's booth #7B67. Napatech is a top programmable SmartNICs provider for DPU and IPU services. At the same time, Advantech is a global leader in Industrial IoT, and A5G Networks, Inc. specializes in Distributed and Autonomous 5G Core Network Software.
As private networks leveraging edge computing become increasingly popular for applications like industrial automation, connected vehicles, smart retail, and healthcare, enterprises and communications service providers are working to ensure their commercial viability. One key factor is making these networks cost-effective, which involves maximizing the number of subscribers or devices that can be assisted in a small-footprint server, allowing for deployment across a wide range of use cases.
At MWC23, A5G Networks, Advantech, and Napatech will exhibit their integrated solution, which maximizes the cost-performance of mobile edge infrastructure by deploying ANoNCore software from A5G Networks on small-footprint SKY 8000 telco servers from Advantech. In addition, these servers have SmartNICs from Napatech that accelerate the compute-intensive User Plane Function, improving the ANoNCore software's performance and network energy efficiency while reducing overall server costs.
