BATM Advances 5G Strategy with New Ultra-High Capacity Networking Platform for Network Edge

New T-Metro 8104 is industry's first CE2.0 compliant service aggregation and cloud gateway platform available at 1.2 Tb capacity

BATM (LSE: BVC; TASE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, announces the launch by Telco Systems, its wholly-owned subsidiary, of the T-Metro 8104, its new ultra-high capacity service aggregation and cloud gateway platform that is designed to allow network operators to leverage the transformation enabled by 5G and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC).

The T-Metro 8104, which is NFV-ready, is the first CE2.0 compliant service aggregation and cloud gateway platform available at the ultra-high capacity of 1.2 Tb. It has a modular design that, along with having a small form factor and the ability to be installed outside a telecom cabinet, allows customers to expand and add capacity and interfaces as required. 

The platform's ultra-high capacity and flexibility, combined with cloud connectivity, supports network operators in hosting content and applications close to the edge of the network. With the greater speeds and lower latency of 5G, this will allow network operators to open their networks to a new ecosystem and value chain, such as Internet of Things applications. Large enterprise organisations also benefit from edge computing by storing, processing and delivering content on site from an edge server rather than requiring backhaul or a centralised core network.

Dr Zvi Marom, CEO of BATM, said: "This latest product release is another step forward in our strategy to provide innovative solutions for the growth area of 5G network infrastructure and MEC. With the T-Metro 8104's industry-leading ultra-high capacity, we are continuing to push best-in-class performance and functionality to the network edge - allowing telecom operators and managed service providers to increase serviceability, while offloading workloads from the network core, to meet the ever-growing digital needs of their business customers. We have already received significant interest in the new platform from several customers, which we expect to translate to sales this year."
