Corning introduced its latest indoor cellular solution, the Evero® 5G Enterprise Radio Access Network (ERAN), designed for hospitals, hotels, airports, and other high-density environments regardless of their mobile provider. The solution combines the benefits of small cell radio access networks (RAN), which accommodate multiple frequencies, with the advantages of distributed antenna system (DAS) technologies, which provide reliable signals throughout high-density environments.
In a major departure from legacy solutions, the newest addition to Corning’s Everon portfolio supports multiple mobile operators over a common network, si,mplifying installation and reducing cost of ownership, as conventional architectures typically provide cellular connectivity for only one operator at a time.
Corning says its solution leverages Open RAN architecture and works with components from multiple vendors, enabling software upgradability. It also uses Virtualized RAN technology, offering hardware flexibility through cloud-based data processing.
“Everon 5G ERAN sets a new industry standard by offering a streamlined solution for coverage-challenged places that are part of our daily lives, like hospitals, hotels, and office buildings,” said Shirish Nagaraj, Corning Optical Communications’ chief technology officer, Wireless.
“Our newest Everon solution offers flexibility in design, predictability in deployment, and scalability for future needs,” said Nagaraj. “It highlights Corning’s dedication to solving the world’s toughest technology challenges alongside our customers – and improving the world with every innovation.”
