When many people think of a corporate network, they visualize a traditional office building. But it’s not just office spaces full of laptops and smartphones that need a wireless network. The increasingly high-tech worlds of logistics, mining, manufacturing, and agriculture rely on a collection of IoT devices, which are deployed in environments as varied as cavernous fulfilment centers, sun-drenched fields, and marine terminals.  

Keeping these devices connected with a high degree of reliability and performance has proven to be a challenge in these industries. That’s why GXC’s 5G and LTE private network solution has caught the eye of so many enterprises. Using its patented interference cancellation technology, GXC offers a complete cellular wireless backhaul and access solution that’s ideal for areas where cabling is challenging or cost prohibitive. GXC provides RAN, Core, Mesh, NMS, SIM and management tools to simplify integration challenges  to create a private LTE/5G network that businesses can seamlessly operate on their own.  

ASUS hardware plays a key role in GXC’s solution. In addition to ASUS IoT gateways that provide seamless connectivity to a wide range of edge devices, ASUS ESR1-511-X4TF edge servers provide the backbone for the cellular mesh network. Powered by 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost, these servers are perfect for GXC’s Distributed Unit (DU) applications. They’re built from the ground up to improve performance on virtualized radio access network (vRAN) applications. The ESR1-511-X4TF delivers integrated acceleration with 2X capacity gains within the same power envelope, and up to twice the performance-per-watt to meet critical performance, scaling, and energy efficiency requirements. 

The spaces where enterprises need to install edge servers aren’t always climate-controlled, and they don’t always afford sufficient space for the installation and maintenance of standard server designs. The ESR1-511-X4TF was built to operate even in environments with ambient temperatures up to 65° by leveraging three distinct thermal zones, multiple fan controls, additional rear side vents, and a larger effective heat-dissipation area. To ensure easy servicing and installation, it uses a short-depth chassis and a front-access design for the I/O ports and hot-swappable fans. 

The integrated private LTE/5G network provided by GXC gives enterprises a complete solution for providing rock-solid connectivity to a large number of connected devices, with easy scaling, high-end security, and simple deployment in a wide range of use cases.
