The Ceragon IP-50FX disaggregated cell site gateway (DCSG) combines two vital cell site functions into one product: a cell site router (CSR) and a virtual radio indoor unit (IDU).
IP-50FX supports connection to fiber and any Ethernet-connected radio up to 16+0 constellation. Its high switching capacity and wide port density make it an excellent fit for any cell site or aggregation site that requires ultra-high capacity, multi-directional functionality, and switching/routing capabilities.
The IP-50FX leverages software and hardware disaggregation to create an ultra-scalable platform. It integrates Ceragon?s TIP-compliant gateway hardware with an advanced network operating system (NOS) and Ceragon?s Radio-Aware Open Networking (RAON) software add-on. With RAON the cell site gateway acts as a virtual IDU, with a single IP address and centralized management capabilities for all connected radios, providing easier configuration and monitoring of the entire cluster.
