Samsung Electronics recently announced that its 5G RAN solutions received a Common Criteria (CC) certification against the Network Device collaborative Protection Profile (NDcPP), an internationally recognized IT security standards.
The company’s certified base stations are the first 5G products to be listed on the U.S. National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Product Compliant List (PCL) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security’s Certified Product List.
Samsung’s 5G base stations, including its baseband unit and Compact Macro, received CC certification against the NDcPP, reaffirming their network security features and capabilities. This certification validates Samsung’s commitment to building a secure network, while also ensuring its product performance and reliability.
The first certified product is Samsung’s next-generation baseband unit, the CDU50, which offers high capacity and flexibility in deployment, and can support both 4G and 5G networks in one unit. Also certified is Samsung’s 5G New Radio (NR) Compact Macro, which brings together a baseband, radio, and antenna into a single compact box, making it the industry’s first integrated radio for mmWave spectrum. Samsung’s Compact Macro is currently deployed in commercial 5G networks across the globe, including Japan, Korea, and the U.S.
