RAD, the industry leader in Edge Virtualization solutions, on Tuesday announced the commercial release of its programmable CPE (pCPE) platform, the ETX-1p.
RAD’s programmable pCPE is based on a 64-bit dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A53 processor, delivering superior performance with extremely low power consumption for better cost savings and lower environmental footprint. Itis designed to run third-party containers and micro-services hosted at the edge, performing computations closer to the source of the data to support responsive and real-time applications in smart cities, agriculture, healthcare, retail, hospitality, finance, and many other industries.
Available in non-ruggedized and ruggedized forms (ETX-1p and SecFlow-1p, respectively), it also accommodates access to XaaS and a variety of network services in data centers and in public or private clouds, as well as industrial IoT backhaul across multiple verticals.
RAD said its solution has been chosen by a Tier-1 communications service provider (CSP) in Africa. The CSP needed to migrate business customers in areas where fiber isn’t available, from WiMAX access to LTE. To do so, it deployed RAD’s ETX-1p for branch routing and edge access to the cloud with an LTE uplink.
