5g network has been deployed in hundreds of countries around the world. The signal quality depends on the coverage of 5g base stations. If it is inconvenient to deploy fixed base stations in some areas, consider the portable 5g base station launched by Intel. It is only the size of suitcase and easy to carry. 5g network can be quickly established in places with poor signal.
This portable 5g base station is jointly launched by Intel and the foundry Heshuo. It focuses on mobile features, so it is very small, almost like a suitcase.
Compared with large 5g base stations, this portable base station will not carry too many users, but it is mainly used for various unexpected or temporary needs. For example, in case of flood, the communication network is interrupted, and the portable 5g base station can be used to restore the 5g network**
Intel did not mention the specific configuration of this portable 5g base station, but the logo of Xeon Xeon processor appeared in the publicity. Obviously, Intel processor and components will be used. Intel has been developing 5g base station platform in a low-key way in the past few years.
As early as 2019, Intel launched a platform codenamed "snow ridge" this is a new network system chip specifically for 5g wireless access and edge computing. It will introduce Intel computing architecture into wireless access base stations and allow more computing functions to be distributed at the edge of the network**
At that time, Intel showed a small base station based on this platform, and the current portable 5g base station is likely to be related to this platform.
