Casa Systems on Tuesday announced the launch of its new O-RAN mid-band radio, the ApexÔ 5G Evo, the latest addition to its 5G wireless solution portfolio built for today’s public and private networks.
This new indoor radio solution is the first to provide simultaneous use of multiple mid-band channels enabling service providers to increase coverage, boost data speeds and deliver multi-gigabit 5G user experiences to both consumers and enterprises.
Casa’s new Apex 5G Evo is a fully O-RAN compliant radio unit (RU) that supports multiple mid-band channels. In the United States, the Apex 5G Evo allows service providers to simultaneously use both CBRS and C-Band frequencies. Globally, multiple bands within n41, n78 and n77 can also be supported simultaneously.
Casa said it designed the Apex 5G Evo for in-field flexibility with remotely managed software-defined band selection. This allows customers to install the Apex 5G Evo once and change bands as their spectrum position changes. With both indoor and future campus outdoor models, the Apex 5G Evo supports carrier-based deployments, enterprise private networks and neutral-host architectures.
Casa’s new 5G radio portfolio also includes high throughput, high-efficient fronthaul gateway, distributed unit (DU) and centralized unit (CU) options.
