S9501-28SMT The UfiSpace S9501-28SMT is a disaggregated cell site gateway (DCSG) designed to aggregate legacy and current generation BBU equipment and address the evolving backhaul transport needs as telecoms transition towards 5G New Radio (5G NR). This innovative router allows telecoms and service providers to deploy an open and disaggregated transport network infrastructure, leading to lower costs and rapid scaling of services for edge computing, mobile backhaul, and broadband access applications. It is compatible with IP Infusion OcNOS as well as other open-source and commercial NOS offerings.
Equipped with Broadcom’s Qumran-UX merchant silicon, a powerful quad-core processor, 28 high-speed interfaces, and full timing features supporting IEEE 1588v2 and SyncE, the S9501-28SMT is future-proofed for 5G deployment. This router is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, featuring redundant, hot-swappable components that ensure increased availability, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.
