"Intel Drops A Bomb On The 5G Network"
Today from Seeking Alpha by: Arne Verheyde.
Intel also announced a new product, Edgewater Channel, in its Ethernet 700 series, Intel's first 5G-optimized network adapter. It features "GPS-based cross-network service synchronization with hardware-enhanced Precision Time Protocol (NYSE:PTP)". One of 5G's key areas of improvements is in reducing latency. As Intel explains: "The Ethernet 700 series adapter increases the timing precision required for 5G networks through a combination of hardware and software enhancements." Takeaway
Intel will be one the main companies to benefit from the 5G transition, and has underlined that intention with this week's 5G silicon portfolio launch.
Intel has established a complete portfolio for the 5G network infrastructure segment with Snow Ridge Atom SoC, Diamond Mesa eASIC and the Edgewater Channel Ethernet adapter. These complement Intel's existing FPGAs and custom ASICs.
