Druid Software and Lekha Wireless Collaborate on 5G Private Networks (P5G) for Enterprise
Druid and Lekha will roll out advanced Private 5G (P5G) Networks across India, and worldwide.
Druid Software, a leading global provider of private cellular network core software solutions for enterprise, announces its partnership with Lekha Wireless Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru-based OEM of mobile wireless access products. Together, Druid and Lekha will roll out advanced Private 5G (P5G) Networks across India, and worldwide.
P5G networks provide cost-effective, cutting-edge solutions to manufacturers, public sector enterprises and government entities in factory automation, mining, ports, transport operations monitoring and control, personal medical device monitoring, and private enterprise voice and video connectivity.
The Raemis Technology Platform from Druid
Druid’s cellular solutions for business are built on its Raemis technology platform, which is a set of cellular software assets originally crafted by Druid’s engineers and optimized for business use cases. The Raemis platform harnesses 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G, and WiFi radios from any vendor to implement standalone cellular core network solutions.
The Druid Raemis core platform is a 3GPP-compliant core network supporting 5G SA, NSA, and 4G with unique features designed specifically for enterprise-critical communications. For example, the platform is differentiated by its ability to easily prioritize and “slice” devices while providing them with a guaranteed quality of service. Raemis scales up as easily as it scales down, enabling the setup of small or very large private networks.
Raemis can be deployed on edge hardware devices or in high-dependency cloud-native environments. This flexibility is key for certain highly resilient mobile use cases or customers who do not want their data on the public cloud. Built on an open REST API, Raemis provides easy integration to enterprise-critical applications and makes private networks simple to use and manage with a user-friendly dashboard.
O-RAN Solutions from Lekha
Lekha’s O-RAN Split 7-2x compliant Rel-16 5G products support high throughput, low jitter, low latency and device mobility. vRAN controller functions are deployed on COTS servers and support 256QAM, TDD & FDD, and up to 8 layers.
Lekha’s maRUt RU portfolio offers a range of Category A indoor low-power (up to 250mW/antenna) and outdoor high-power (up to 20w/antenna) RUs in IP65/IP62 enclosures, and with internal/external antennas. They support FR1 N78 band (outdoor RU) and FR1 N1, N28 and N78 (indoor RU), up to 100MHz bandwidth, numerology 0 & 1, and IEE1588 synchronization.
An EMS is provided for remote fault, configuration and performance monitoring, with NETCONF/YANG connectivity to RAN functional elements and REST APIs northbound. Upcoming features include subscriber trace and Minimization of Drive Test functionality.
