XG8600 5G Fronthaul Gateway

The RANathon 5G Fronthaul Gateway, in a compact 1U rack-mount form factor, is designed for flexible radio coverage deployment. This Gateway supports O-RAN 7-2x split fronthaul interfaces for downlink relay and uplink aggregation functions, and provides a synchronous GPS clock source to both BBU and O-RU. Equipped with 1 eCPRI interface for BBU, 8 eCPRI interfaces for O-RU, and a cascade port connecting to another Fronthaul Gateway, it allows a BBU to connect with up to 16 O-RU for coverage expansion.
