AxyomCore Displays Enterprise 5G Cell
AxyomCore is exhibiting its flagship enterprise small cell at MWC Barcelona. The network extender supports both 4G and 5G connectivity and can handle up to 200 concurrent users, providing enhanced wireless coverage for enterprise environments like warehouses and distribution centers.
- AxyomCore's enterprise small cell provides coverage for up to 31,000 square feet, a significant increase compared to many competitors that cover about half that area. This broader coverage with fewer radios is designed to lower installation complexity and cost for enterprise environments. - The company, founded in 2024 and headquartered in Andover, MA, operates in the wireless communications equipment industry. It was acquired in May 2024 by Lumine Group after its former parent company, Casa Systems, faced insolvency. - Pete Koat, with over two decades of experience in communications technology, was appointed CEO of AxyomCore in mid-2024. His background includes executive roles at Incognito Software Systems and Motive. - The small cell unit offers a throughput of 970Mbps for downlink and 240Mbps for uplink. It is marketed as the industry's first 4G/5G dual-mode small cell solution, aimed at providing a clear migration path from LTE to 5G for enterprises. - Tens of thousands of AxyomCore cells have already been deployed across the United States and Europe in various settings, including hospitals, retail locations, and for major events like world-renowned tennis tournaments in partnership with Orange. - The broader small cell network market is projected to grow significantly, with one forecast predicting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.2% between 2025 and 2035. This growth is driven by the rollout of 5G, rising mobile data traffic, and the need for enhanced indoor connectivity. - In warehouse and logistics settings, 5G connectivity is a key enabler for technologies like autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), augmented reality (AR) for order picking, and real-time inventory tracking through IoT sensors. Ericsson reported a 20% increase in productivity in a large warehouse after deploying a private 5G network. - AxyomCore's technology supports network slicing and Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS), which can optimize 4G networks and facilitate a smoother transition to 5G capabilities. This is critical for creating private and hybrid networks that can guarantee service levels for different enterprise applications on the same infrastructure.
