Corning Incorporated introduced new 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.
Eighty percent of mobile traffic originates or terminates indoors, and some 5G frequencies (and 4G/LTE frequencies) do not penetrate physical barriers, such as walls. 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 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.
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.
