SAN JOSE, Calif. and
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired
and wireless networking today announced a collaboration with ON.Lab
for a Proof of Concept (POC) for the Mobility Data Center (M-CORD)
using Cavium's ThunderX COTS servers and OCTEON Fusion-M baseband
processors at next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Building on the success of the original CORD project the MCORD
expands the scope of the POC to include specific uses cases of SDN
and NFV for mobility wireless applications. The ability to
seamlessly integrate new technologies such as Cloud RAN (C-RAN),
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and virtualize core functions such as
the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) provide an innovative and scalable
solution for many of the issues faced by carriers as they expand
existing networks and look to the needs of the future.
"To meet the mobile operators' requirements and take advantages
of the mobile edge environment a well-defined and cost-efficient
platform is essential," said Mingeun Yoon, Architect at SK
Telecom. "Cavium's virtualized RAN solution in combination
with MCORD architecture showcases a feasible mobile edge
service model."
Guru Parulkar, Executive Director and Board Member at
ON.Lab/ONOS project said, "We look forward to Cavium's
contributions to the community. We are delighted that Cavium shares
our goals and is contributing to the initiatives of the consortium
based on the Cavium processor architecture."
"We are excited to collaborate with ON.Lab for a 3GPP
compliant disaggregated, and virtualized mobile infrastructure
using our ThunderX workload optimized servers and our OCTEON
Fusion-M Baseband Processors," said Raj Singh, General Manager of
the Wireless Broadband Group at Cavium. "The M-CORD collaboration
allows us to demonstrate the benefits of SDN and NFV in mobile
infrastructure, and several agile service deployment scenarios of
mobile edge computing."
"SDN and NFV in conjunction with Centralized/Cloud-RAN and MEC
are essential to next generation networks," said Monica Paolini
Founder and President of Senza Fili a leading analyst and
consulting firm on wireless data technologies. "Cavium is leading
the way with advances in silicon and process technology to allow
scalable software solutions to previously rigid fixed function
network solutions."
