Kontron and Amarisoft have announced a partnership to facilitate the deployment of private 5G solutions for defence and security industries.

The integration combines Kontron's rugged ME1310 Edge platform with Amarisoft’s CORE and RAN software, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity in isolated and complex environments.

Kontron's ME1310 rugged edge platform is uniquely designed for demanding applications, offering exceptional durability, performance, and reliable operation under the toughest conditions. It consolidates switching and timing for 4G/5G open RAN networks into a very robust, wide temperature (-40°C to +65°C) platform, built to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. The ME1310's high processing power and advanced connectivity options enable seamless integration and optimal performance for mission-critical applications.

The platform integrates seamlessly with Amarisoft software, providing significant benefits in performance, flexibility and cost-efficiency for operators and system integrators. Thanks to its pure software approach, Amarisoft Core Network and RAN are highly configurable and can be adapted to a variety of use cases with different TDD patterns, cell bandwidth, number of cells and MIMO layers while offering more than 1000 active UEs. New features can be added by a simple software upgrade accelerating the deployment cycle. Amarisoft solutions can run on any x86 CPU architecture without the need for external accelerators or FPGAs, significantly reducing the overall cost of the platform. It supports both split 8 and 7.2, ensuring compatibility with a variety of radio units from different vendors.

Together, the Kontron and Amarisoft offering reduces OPEX and TCO through decreased requirements for AC/heat, reduced cabling, fewer failure points, less space needed and simplified 4G/5G deployment for a wide range of applications including military defence, security, industrial automation, and many more.

“We are thrilled to partner with Kontron to provide an off-the-shelf 4G/5G baseband solution to the market,” says Neda Nikaein, Vice President of Products and Operation at Amarisoft. “This new platform is designed to enable seamless integration with existing infrastructures while providing robust support for the specific requirements of defence, security and transportation industries.”

"By partnering with Amarisoft, we’re opening up new possibilities for mission-critical applications,” explains Bertrand Foulon, Business Development Director at Kontron. "With our ME1310 platform, we can guarantee reliable and secure connectivity in the most challenging environments, while simplifying the 4G/5G private network implementation process for our customers."
