QCT Premier Intel Select Solutions

QCT’s Intel® Select Solution for vRAN on Wind River Studio

A virtual radio access network (vRAN) architecture strategy is a key to cost-effective agility within 5G environments, but the RAN can also be a very challenging workload for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server platforms.

QCT selects QuantaEdge EGX63IS-1U, a server designed and optimized for the vRAN workload and other 5G Open RAN applications where MNOs require a high I/O, short depth, ruggedized platform at the edge.

The certified QuantaEdge EGX63IS-1U has passed the rigorous testing requirements of Intel® Select Solution for vRAN. Together, the Wind River Studio with the QCT QuantaEdge EGX63IS-1U Telco Server offer MNOs a powerful, cost effective, highly scalable, and flexible packaged solution for edge-deployed vRAN.
