Intel Introduces 5g Network Acceleration Card

During Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019, Intel announced the Intel FPGA N3000 Programmable Acceleration Card, which is being designed so that service providers can offer virtualized radio access network solutions and accelerate 5G connections.

Intel FPGA N3000 card is ready to speed up 5G connections

The Intel FPGA PAC N3000 accelerates many virtualized workloads, from 5G radio access networks to core network applications.

This is an important announcement for the arrival of 5G networks to begin to be adopted more quickly for years to come. This will be a great challenge for all providers, since a 5G connection can provide a speed of 20 Gbps, which translates to a download speed of 1000 Mbps.

"As the mobile and telecommunications industry prepares for an explosion in Internet Protocol traffic and 5G deployments, we designed the Intel FPGA PAC N3000 to provide programmability and flexibility with performance, energy efficiency, density and the systems integration capabilities the market needs to fully support the capabilities of 5G networks, ”said Reynette Au, vice president of marketing for Intel.

Telecommunications service providers are facing unprecedented and rapidly growing demand. Global Internet Protocol (IP) traffic is expected to triple in the next five years, and 5G networks will be the key to this growth, which will also lead to new mobile phones and devices that accept 5G connections.

Intel FPGA PAC N3000 for Networks is designed to accelerate network traffic of up to 100 Gbps and supports up to 9 GB DDR4 and 144 MB of QDR IV memory for high performance applications. The programmability and flexibility of an FPGA enables customers to create custom solutions using reference IPs for acceleration workloads of network functions such as vRAN, vBNG, vEPC, IPSec and VPP.
