6 Key Questions Channel Partners Should Consider When Migrating to 5G NR
chassis and installation optimizations, such as a massive passive heat sink, to help ensure the overall system remains cool despite the higher level of performance.
6.System Interfaces: High-Speed Ethernet
To take advantage of 5G’s very high data rates, all of the router’s data paths need to be able to handle the increase in data rates. To achieve 5G system throughput at least one 5Gbps Ethernet port will be needed. To support 5G data rates over Wi-Fi, the system needs the next generation of Wi-Fi, known as Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). Full Wi-Fi 6 performance that matches 5G performance requires a 4×4 antenna configuration. Reconfiguring an existing device to support Wi-Fi 6 and the additional antennas may not be possible. However, a 5G router designed for such performance will provide the 5G cellular and Wi-Fi 6 antennas in a small, highly integrated package.
Why Start with Sierra for 5G?
Sierra Wireless’s approach to 5G routers has meant a complete redesign from the bottom up. After evaluating the relevant technologies, Sierra built a 5G-optimized AirLink router that delivers end-to-end 5G performance. As part of the 5G redesign, Sierra addressed all the necessary subsystems, including antenna systems, the power subsystem, passive heat dissipation, high-speed Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6. What’s more, Sierra’s 5G routers are supported by their network management systems to deliver added insights for 5G reporting and analytics.
Sierra’s thoughtful and thorough approach to the 5G AirLink solution will effectively deliver accelerated mobile computing and the multi-Gbps performance that the standard is designed to support.
