[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 4131U\n Ethernity Networks Ltd\n 06 April 2021\n \n \n \n \n 6 April 2021\n \n \n ETHERNITY NETWORKS LTD\n \n \n (\"Ethernity\" or the \"Company\")\n \n Ethernity Networks Powers Packet Processing in Tarana's Breakthrough Fixed Wireless Product\n Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing offload solutions on programmable hardware for acceleration of telco/cloud networks, announces that it has started receiving production orders for its ENET Flow Processor FPGA systems-on-chip (SoCs) from Tarana Wireless Inc. (\"Tarana\"), an American wireless broadband solution manufacturer. Ethernity FPGA SoCs provide complete IP networking functionality, including critical traffic management features, for Tarana's Gigabit 1 (G1) product.\n Following a contract between Tarana and Ethernity signed in 2017, Ethernity has worked closely with Tarana to support its development efforts toward bringing their innovative fixed wireless access product to mass adoption. Tarana successfully completed field trials in 2020 and is now fulfilling orders from service providers for large-scale commercial deployments of G1, requiring supply of 5,000 units of Ethernity's ENET Flow Processor over the next 12 months. To that end, Ethernity has received initial orders for $400K to supply its FPGA SoCs, expected to be delivered by early Q3 2021, representing an acceleration of the previous expectation, as set out in the Company's update on 2 December 2020. Further growth of this product line is expected in 2022.\n Tarana has developed its proprietary radio access network technology from the ground up, including custom silicon for RF (radio frequency) and digital signal processing, specifically to address the significant shortcomings of prior attempts at fixed wireless using technology repurposed from other applications (i.e. indoor Wi-Fi and mobile cellular). Given its purpose-built design in RF signal processing, G1 can provide fiber-class service from installations on existing cellular tower assets in non-line-of-sight conditions - and in unlicensed spectrum - with significantly improved performance and network economics than 5G for fixed broadband.\n Ethernity has provided Tarana its unique silicon-tuned software, which, thanks to the efficiency of the ENET Flow Processor design, fits into low-cost FPGAs....
