Topic: Base Stations

SolidRun, a developer and manufacturer of high-performance System on Module (SOM) solutions, Single Board Computers (SBC) and network edge solutions, today announced a major milestone in collaboration with Amarisoft, a pioneer in software-defined wireless network technologies. The companies have successfully validated a fully functional 4G/5G base station featuring both gNB and 5GC, on SolidRun's compact Ryzen Embedded V3000 COM Express Type 7 module deployed on SolidRun's HoneyComb Ryzen V3000 carrier board.

Vodacom will invest circa R100 million in building 106 new base station sites in deep rural areas of KwaZulu Natal to connect hundreds of thousands people, who have been left out in the Digital Age. This deployment will not only help bridge the significant digital divides that exist in remote areas of KwaZulu-Natal but marks a new age of mobile connectivity and effectively promoting digital inclusion for everyone.
