Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today introduced new
high-performance cellular solutions designed to help network
operators bring reliable 5G connection indoors with small-cell
radio nodes that are easy to install and cost-effective to operate.
5G capabilities are at the forefront of enabling the world’s
most advanced connectivity and unrivalled network speeds. Today,
80% of mobile traffic originates or terminates indoors, and some 5G
frequencies do not penetrate physical barriers, such as walls, as
well as 4G/LTE frequencies. With the demand on bandwidth
intensifying, network operators will require reliable systems that
bring 5G indoors.
Corning's Everon™ mmWave indoor small-cell systems are designed
to deliver 5G-ready coverage in high-density environments –
including office buildings, factories, hotels, hospitals, and
classrooms – where large amounts of data must be managed and
transmitted. These systems are designed to operate at commonly used
frequencies, including 28 GHz and 39 GHz, for carrier networks and
enterprise network operators who are looking to bring reliable 5G
connectivity indoors.
“As more people return to offices, college campuses, hotels, and
other highly concentrated environments, Corning's mmWave indoor
small-cell systems are critical to meeting the growing demand for
reliable 5G connectivity,” said Marc Bolick, vice president and
wireless business leader, Corning Optical Communications. “Corning
is working side by side with our customers to help them capture and
realize the opportunities of 5G.”
The new in-building cellular products are part of Corning's
Everon Network Solutions, a new suite of optical network components
for enterprise deployment. Corning will launch additional products
in the Everon portfolio in the coming months.
