XG8600 5G Fronthaul Gateway
XG8600 5G Fronthaul Gateway is a compact 1U rack-mount unit designed to simplify and scale radio coverage deployment. It supports the O-RAN 7.2x split interface, enabling downlink distribution and uplink aggregation between the BBU and multiple O-RUs. The gateway provides GPS-based synchronization to both the BBU and connected RUs. With 1 eCPRI port for BBU, 8 eCPRI ports for O-RUs, and a cascade port for expansion, a single BBU can connect with up to 16 RUs—ideal for shared cell or large-area deployments.

FEATURES
- O-RAN 7.2x Split Support: Compliant with O-RAN Open Fronthaul Category A, enabling seamless downlink relay and uplink aggregation across multi-vendor RUs and DUs.
- Flexible Connectivity: Equipped with 1×10G SFP+ eCPRI port for DU, 8×10G SFP+ eCPRI ports for RUs, and 1×cascade port—supporting up to 16 RUs when chained with a second FHGW.
- Carrier-Grade Synchronization: Built-in GPS, SyncE, and IEEE 1588v2 PTP synchronization support with SMA interfaces for GNSS input, 1PPS, and 10MHz output—ensuring accurate timing distribution.
- Deployment-Ready Design: Compact 1U rack-mount form factor with active cooling, designed for edge or central deployment in indoor environments (IP20).
- Intuitive Management Interfaces: Supports O-RAN M-plane, web-based EMS, and dedicated RJ-45 management port for remote control, configuration, and monitoring of connected RUs.
- Interoperability Validated: Verified through O-RAN PlugFest conformance and end-to-end performance tests, including WG4.CONF, WG8.IOT, and TIFG E2E validations.
