Napatech collaborates with Saviah Technologies and Supermicro on high-performance core for private 5G networks
Napatech has announced a collaboration with Saviah Technologies and Supermicro on a high-performance 5G private networks on Feb 15
Napatech, Saviah Technologies and Supermicro have collaborated to optimize the cost-performance of 5G Core Network Solution by deploying Saviah 5G Core Network software on server platforms from Supermicro optimized for network edge locations, that leverage Napatech SmartNICs to offload and accelerate the compute-intensive User Plane Function (UPF). This joint solution maximizes 5G core network performance while minimizing server cost and power consumption.
By leveraging the Napatech NT200 SmartNIC-based offload solution installed in a Supermicro SYS-221HE-FTNR server, the Saviah 5GC software sustains full, bidirectional 2x 100Gbps throughput while using only a single CPU core for the UPF control plane and without any cores being consumed by the UPF data plane.
The collaboration is also made possible by Saviah's development of 5G Core technology, focusing on edge AI, low latency, and high throughput. Consequently, the joint solution is expected to benefit applications such as smart factories, smart media, and military training, which require high performance and efficiency.
“Saviah’s highly experienced professional team makes improvements and enhancements over and beyond free5GC, the world’s first open-source 5G core network, and has accomplished a robust, commercially launched 5GC network software,” said Jyh-Cheng Chen, founder of Saviah Technologies. “Through our collaboration with Napatech and Supermicro, we’re pleased to be able to boost the performance and energy efficiency of 5GC for high-bandwidth use cases, while meeting our customers’ needs for small-footprint deployments.”
“Through our partner ecosystem, Napatech ensures that our UPF offload solution is available to service providers and enterprises via products from industry-leading software vendors and server OEMs,” said Charlie Ashton, Senior Director of Business Development, Napatech. “We are delighted to be collaborating with Saviah and Supermicro to deliver this industry-leading packet core solution.”
