With Private Wireless, Dell has taken a modular approach, where the solution can be designed to suit customer needs. The infrastructure platform, RU, 5GC, and edge nodes all have options, which make Private Wireless extremely flexible.
The following table shows the various design options by component type:
Component | Option | Comments |
Infrastructure | Dell VxRail | Solution validated on VxRail E660F for both the on-premises core cluster and edge nodes. |
Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI | Solution validated on Dell Azure HCI AX-650 for edge nodes running the Druid 5GC only. | |
VMware vSphere/ESXi | The PowerEdge XR4000, XR11, and XR12 have been validated as edge nodes with the Druid 5GC. | |
5G Core (5GC) | Druid Raemis | Raemis has been validated on all edge node infrastructure variants: VMware, VxRail, and Azure Stack HCI. |
5G New Radio (NR) Element Management System (EMS) | Airspan AirVelocity 2700 | The AV2700 has been validated as the solution’s RU for both CBRS (N48) and licensed spectrum (n77, n78, n79, and n41). Note: The AV2700 utilizes Airspan’s 7.2 functional split. The CU and DU have been validated on the Dell Power Edge R650 and R750 server. |
Airspan AirVelocity 1901 | The AV1901 is an all-in-one gNodeB implementation. The RU, CU, and DU are all part of the AV1901. Supported bands: n77, n78, n79, and n41. | |
Airspan ACP | Airspan’s Element Management System (EMS) ACP has been validated running at the edge sites and on the on-premises VxRail cluster infrastructure option. It also acts as Domain Proxy (DP) for CBRS, which is fully compatible with all SAS vendors, helping to reduce the overall OPEX. | |
SD-WAN (Optional) | Versa SD-WAN | Versa has been validated on both the Dell Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) 1405 and 4600. |
