Casa Systems Introduces New Apex™ 5G Metro Radio Access Network (RAN) Solution at 2019 MWC Barcelona
Casa’s Apex 5G Metro is a high-powered 4T4R (4 transmit / 4 receive) radio designed to meet coverage and capacity challenges in dense urban and suburban areas where large numbers of NR and LTE devices are present. Unlike macro-radio solutions mounted on traditional tower sites, the Apex 5G Metro can be deployed cost-effectively at the street level, such as utility poles, roof tops and lamp posts, thus reducing costs associated with a traditional macro sites.
The Apex 5G Metro’s All-in-One package includes BBU and RRU with flexible external antenna configurations. It also supports O-RAN defined open interfaces for centralize and virtualized RAN deployments, specifically both Split 2 and Split 7.
With the 5G Metro, service providers can start with LTE and cost-effectively evolve to NR. Initially, the Apex 5G Metro will support sub 6 GHz bands with expansion to millimeter wave deployments in the near future.
“Casa delivers solutions that put our customers a step ahead and opens new service opportunities,” said
The Apex 5G Metro is the latest addition to Casa Systems’ end-to end RAN solution suite that includes the Apex RAN portfolio of lifestyle, enterprise and strand-mounted cells as well as the Axyom™ Element Management System and Axyom virtualized Small Cell Core. The Apex 5G Metro will be available for lab and field testing in the second half of 2019.
