ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing and Titanium Intel Partner Alliance member is unlocking diverse 5G and industrial edge computing solutions at MWC Barcelona 2024, at Hall 5 #5A61, Taiwan Pavilion. Collaborating with Intel, Ataya, Jorjin, and Wave-in, ADLINK will be demonstrating MicroRAN, an all-in-one private 5G solution that empowers small and medium enterprises to transcend their traditional factories with smart manufacturing. In addition, ADLINK will showcase how its MECS series edge servers power various 5G and industrial edge computing applications. Adding on, in aiding system integrators at different facets of their smart manufacturing evolution, ADLINK also provides the very building blocks to edge computing solutions, including COM-HPC server module COM-HPC-sIDH, COM Express Type 7 module Express-ID7, HMI Panel PC PanKonix, PXI/PXIe Controllers PXIe-3900-TL series, as well as MXE-230 series, an ultra-compact, fanless IoT platform that offers unmatched flexibility and a robust design, tailored for diverse applications.

With the launch of MicroRAN, ADLINK solves several critical issues that small and medium-size enterprises are easily faced with when building 5G network, such as high construction costs, complex network architecture, integration bottlenecks with existing Wi-Fi, wired devices, and the lack of expertise in network security management. Thus this all-in-one and universal connectivity 5G, private network solution is not only easy to deploy, but at the same time offers simplified architecture and enhanced security fulfilling market demands.

On the other hand, in meeting the growing vRAN trend, the ADLINK Edge Server MECS-7120, featuring 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, that will also be highlighted can serve as an advanced platform for vRAN applications. Equipped with 6x DDR5 DIMMs at 4800MT/s with a 6-channel, 1DPC configuration and on-board 2x 25G SFP28 Ethernet ports, it supports various storage bays and PCIe slots, and includes RunBMC with AST2600, IPMI v2.0/Redfish compliance. For enhanced functionality, users can integrate an optional clock module for precise time synchronization using GNSS. Built to fit industrial edge applications, the MECS series edge servers comply to low EMI, low acoustic noise, ensuring a serene working environment, and are easy to maintain, contributing to an effortless user experience.

During MWC Barcelona 2024, ADLINK partners and customers will also be showcasing real-world applications with ADLINK solutions at the following booths:

Askey will demonstrate a one-box 5G solution by deploying ADLINK 1U Edge Server MECS-6120 to establish a smart factory solution. (booth: Hall 5 Stand 5C11)

SageRAN, the 5G small cell provider, will unveil a 4G/5G full-connectivity solution based on ADLINK’s Edge Server MECS series, including 5G protocol stack platform, 4+5G distributed small cell, mmWave small cell and indoor /outdoor small cell. (Booth: Hall 5 Stand 5D69)

AgrandTech utilizes ADLINK’s stable and reliable Edge Server to run its 5G core network, supporting from 100 to 100,000 user ends, 128 DNNs, and 5,000 base stations. The system exhibits a redundancy design for ensured reliability and availability, with an active/standby switching efficiency no less than 95%, providing customers with high availability and low failure rate network services. (Booth: Hall 5 Stand 5K44)

BTI adopts the ADLINK MECS-7120 server as the baseband CU/DU to build a distributed base station (DBS) solution. Supporting Intel FlexRAN architecture and 4G/5G hybrid mode with up to 8 cells coverage, the server provides great scalability for flexible deployment. (Booth: Hall5 Stand 5I60)
