Kontron powers Truminds’ software for 5G
Summary
Truminds, a renowned name in specialised engineering solutions, enhances both cost-performance and energy efficiency using Kontron servers designed for Edge deployments. Kontron’s ME1310 multi-access Edge server, powered by Intel Xeon D-2700 processors, addresses the challenges of private networks with its rugged, power-efficient design. The deployment includes Smart Network Interface Cards (SmartNICs) from Napatech which offload and accelerate the compute-intensive User Plane Function (UPF) using Truminds’ TruCore. The joint solution implements a port-to-port “hair-pinned” architecture, ensuring maximum system performance and optimised server CPU utilisation. “Our collaboration with Napatech allows us to extend the functionality of this server and offer a version that optimises the performance of business-critical application solutions like Truminds’ TruCore.” In summary, the joint solution from Truminds, Kontron, and Napatech, available now, delivers an end-to-end packet core that optimises private cellular network infrastructure for critical sectors like healthcare, government offices, utilities, and airports.
