HELIOS 5G NR O-RAN Fronthaul Gateway (FHGW/HUB)

Stackable eCPRI/CPRI gateway supporting up to 8 O-RU and flexible deployment by Power-over-Fiber.

Overview

Helios® 5G NR O-RAN Fronthaul Gateway (FHGW / HUB) Unit can be deployed remotely or co-located with the vBBU (O-CU and O-DU), and it owns eight 10Gbps SFP+ optical ports to provide connectivity to up to eight Distributed Active Antenna Units (AAUs) over hybrid powered fiber cable based on eCPRI/CPRI protocol. It receives the downlink baseband data from vBBU and continue transmit to the Distributed AAUs after shunting, the uplink CPRI data stream from AAU will be sent to the vBBU after certain routing processing. It’s innovative Power Over Fiber (PoF) features for remote Distributed AAUs to enable flexible & simplifies installation both for FHGW/HUB and AAU through hybrid fiber-copper cable.
