HTC Vive (HTC)has unveiled its latest portable private 5G solution – the Reign Core - working closely with new HTC subsidiary, G Reigns, and in collaboration with Supermicro.
Supermicro provided hardware as part of this collaboration, demonstrating the versatility of the new Reign Core 5G product. G Reigns has unique experience in the industry, across both mobile and XR, bringing that knowledge together to develop advanced software for private 5G networks.
Reign Core is designed to work seamlessly with Open RAN, essentially allowing organisations to buy ‘off-the-shelf' hardware components, such as Supermicro and Lumen Technologies, and then run tailored software to create their own private 5G solution, scalable to any size.
Reign Core has a compact all-in-one footprint making it highly portable. And it can be set-up in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for location-based services, and even demonstrating a proof of concept. Powerful and flexible, Reign Core is complaint with 3GPP and O-RAN structure using an x86 base server to compose a 5G network system including 5GC, BBU, RRU and L3 switch.
Reign Core powered several experiences at Mobile World Congress, including a scaled-down example of driving cars remotely. Using scale-model radio controlled cars, drivers were sat facing away from the track, watching two high-res video feeds of a first-person view and a top-down view – beamed over 5G - so they could steer the cars through the course. At the same time, the feed was also viewable on VIVE Flow headsets for spectators.
