Introduction
1.1
R Class series overview
Falcon-RX
Falcon-RX
is a high
performance, 5G xHaul Timing Aware O-RAN Switch & PTP Grandmaster. It is a
high capacity, low latency transport and high precision synchronization device that enables 5G RAN
operation at its optimal throughput, on both telecom and enterprise environments.
The
Falcon-RX
combines the best of breed of the Transport and Timing worlds, in a single powerful
package. Both elements are critical for 5G fronthaul deployments, along with support for the latest
O-RAN architectures and recommendations.
The
Falcon-RX
is equipped with up to twenty (20) multi-rate 10G SFP+ ports or eight (8) 25G SFP28
ports, based on user configuration. Additionally, one tri-speed Copper management port is included.
All ports can operate at full wire speed, with a total forwarding capacity of 200Gbps.
The system offers advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features including classification and mapping
based on layer 1 through layer 4 attributes, rate limiting, highly flexible scheduling, queuing and
shaping options and MEF defined services.
