Hytera 4G & 5G solutions to serve MNO, vertical industry markets

KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 -- Hytera has introduced its new 4G/5G portfolio including its industry-leading HyXG O-RAN solution, in which the online launch event was held recently to coincide with MWC Barcelona 2021.

HyXG forms a key part of Hytera’s total solution aimed at serving the MNO and vertical industry markets. It comprises DU board, O-BBU and a high-end Edge-Node, according to a statement.

Hytera believes more than ever that openness and innovation are important to society. Enterprises need a holistic approach to help them tackle the challenges they face and to instigate progress and change.

5G, combined with the innovative, open standards approach promoted by the O-RAN Alliance, will enable a more competitive and vibrant RAN supplier ecosystem leading to faster innovation, greater collaboration and reduced risk of vendor lock-in.

O-RAN architecture is largely defined for 5G, but Hytera has developed a dual-mode 4G and 5G architecture for its HyXG O-RAN solution, allowing customers to implement 4G or dual-mode 4G/5G networks now, and then easily upgrade to 5G networks in the future.

Hytera is releasing basic and enhanced O-BBU (baseband unit) models, both of which provide converged 4G/5G capabilities.

The enhanced model can also be configured as a standalone MEC (mobile edge computing) node. The BBU can be deployed as a combined CU/DU unit to provide legacy BBU functions or separate standalone CU or DU mode.

Compared with these new entrants, Hytera is in a unique position to address the 5G vertical applications market, as it has accumulated a huge wealth of experience in providing different sectors with customised solutions.

Hytera offers customers a range of flexible business options when deploying its 4G/5G solutions, from just using an open protocol software stack or a module in their own products to deploying a full end-to-end solution.
