Life-changing 4G, 5G change society.
When 5G into our industrial automation, smart city, smart applications such as agriculture, local area network connection point -CPE and 5G WAN, data exchange will be the only way.
What is CPE? CPE, English called Customer Premise Equipment, known as "pre-equipment customers," its network topology in the following figure:
Just past 2019, is known as 5G first year, the major carriers have launched 5G coverage, but also science and technology circle all walks of life to bring change to the scene and applications in continuous exploration 5G. Blink of an eye came in 2020, millet and Huawei have staged a year drama WiFi router. February 13 released its WiFi6 millet router; February 24 Huawei released its WiFi6 + router. WiFi6 rate of up to 9.6Gbps, combined with the theoretical value will reach 5Gbps 5G even 10Gbps, so that high-speed data throughput and forwarding, we designed a 5G CPE gateway industry, the kind of processor can perform it?
Here we recommend NXP LS1046A processor, clocked at up to 1.8GHz, quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 architecture. Native support 8 Gbit Ethernet, Gigabit up to two (10Gbps / 5Gbps / 2.5Gbps / 1Gbps) +5 Gigabit (1Gbps), or 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and hardware acceleration engine includes a network data (the DPAA) to improve data forwarding throughput, high-speed data transfer while reducing CPU usage; software layer supports DPDK, so that the speed of data transfer faster.
As Feiling embedded NXP partner introduced based on the core board LS1046A FET1046A-C, the CPU, power management, DDR RAM, eMMC ROM and other devices into the core plate to form and minimum CPU operating system running system, and leads to the CPU through the full functionality COMe pin connector, to ensure system stability, functionality and maximum CPU performance while simplifying customer product design and development effort. Support Ubuntu, OpenWrt operating system, application development to meet our customers the flexibility to choose from. The core plate satisfies -40 ℃ ~ + 75 deg.] C at ambient temperature for long term stable uninterrupted power to meet the requirements of product stability under harsh environmental conditions.
When using FET1046A-C complete 5G CPE Gateway Industrial Design, and its function interface is also easy to deal with.
1,5G connection module
5G the manufacturers currently available modules are provided out PCIe interface and USB 3.0, as Huawei MH5000, the host CPU and for transmitting data; FET1046A-C 3 native support USB 3.0 interface, data transmission rates of up to 5Gbps considering WiFi 6 modules and SSD also requires the use of PCIe interface, so in the design of industrial 5G CPE gateway recommended 5G USB 3.0 connection module.
2, WiFi6 connection module
Although currently on the market WiFi6 modules is not much, but considering that the communication speed and compatibility and PC, most will adopt a communication interface between the PCIe or USB 3.0 and a host CPU. FET1046A-C controller has three PCIe 3.0, PCIe single channel bandwidth of up to 8GT / s, can support x1, x2, x4 channel number of flexible configuration; WiFi6 to meet the demand for high bandwidth communications module.
3, a wired network interface
CPE adapter and the network as a public network device 5G, the internal cable network bandwidth and the number of ports can be selected by the end-user point of inspection. And FET1046A-C supports 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the single device terminal satisfies run over 5G bandwidth scenarios. 5 also supports Gigabit Ethernet ports to meet the demand for multiple access terminals. If the scenario does not require Gigabit Ethernet port, and the need for more Gigabit ports, FET1046A-C native can support up to eight Gigabit Ethernet ports. Combined with data provided by forwarding DPDK DPAA and acceleration capability, allowing up to wire-speed forwarding network.
4, computing power
FET1046A-C includes four core Cortex-A72 of 1.8GHz, 2GB DDR4 onboard memory, may be run points Coremark to 45,000, while the high-speed data transfer can be accomplished edge calculations, in order to reduce server load and improve real-time system response.
. 5, SSD drives connected
FET1046A-C Scalable high-speed SSD storage via SATA 3.0 or PCIe, the user can be used as network storage to save the data, can be used as the data forwarding process cache; when a network failure or abnormal can not Unicom, may the data is temporarily stored in the SSD, transmission continues until the completion of the recovery system. In response to the high reliability of data security applications.
Above, as FET1046A-C to complete the application describes an industrial 5G CPE gateway, its function and performance are presented one by one for everyone, and the vast majority of professionals Feiling willing to explore 5G scenarios, changing the way the majority of society in 5G developers provide a simpler, more efficient core platform for customers' products more intelligent, more stable.
