Adlink 5G edge server and accelerator

Adlink’s MECS-61xx/72xx edge servers and PCIe-A100 FEC accelerator are designed to deliver processing power for reliability and expansion capabilities to 5G Open RAN.

5G Open RAN overcomes the limitations of proprietary designs that make interoperability between vendors difficult or impossible by introducing open architecture to the fronthaul of networking architecture. Built with cost-effective, commercial-off-the-shelf architecture, Intel Xeon Scalable and Xeon D processors, 4x10G SFP+ networking components and dual to four PCI Express x16 slots for processing, the MEC edge servers meet 5G needs for performance CPUs and GPUs with storage and memory for sustaining peak I/O rates.

The MECS-72xx series is a family of 2U 19″ OTII-compliant and NVIDIA NGC-ready validated edge servers. NGC-ready validation means that MECS-72xx edge servers passed a suite of tests certifying ability to deliver performance running NGC containers and accelerate 5G Edge AI deployments across industries.

The MECS-61xx series is a family of 1U 19″ OTII-compliant edge servers designed for the edge of 5G networks. It provides an open, white box platform for 5G Open RAN, private 5G networks and a wide range of 5G MEC applications. MECS-61xx edge servers meet multiple application and deployment requirements, enabling customers to focus on differentiating their end solutions.

The PCIe-A100 is a 5G forward error correction (FEC) accelerator based on the Intel vRAN dedicated accelerator ACC100 eASIC device. Supporting functions such as turbo coding and low-density parity check (LDPC), the accelerator increases channel throughput in edge applications while lowering data latency and overall platform power consumption.
