The (officially part of the RAN Compute portfolio as the RAN Processor 6672 ) is a high-capacity baseband unit designed to anchor next-generation 5G networks. Engineered for high performance, it serves as the digital heart of the Ericsson Radio System, managing complex signal processing tasks for both LTE and 5G New Radio (NR) traffic. Key Specifications and Capacity
In short, it takes data from the fiber backhaul and converts it into radio waves (via the Radio Unit), and vice versa.
The 6672 is designed for radio-integrated transport and hardened for harsh environments. 100Gbps full duplex forwarding. Port Configuration: Total of 20 ports, including: 8 x 1/10GE SFP+ ports. 8 x 1GE SFP ports. 4 x 1GE RJ-45 ports. Form Factor: 1RU, 250mm depth, front-to-back cooling. Hardening: Operating temperature of -40∘Cnegative 40 raised to the composed with power cap C 65∘C65 raised to the composed with power cap C (GR-3108 Class 2).
The Ericsson Baseband 6672 boasts several key features that make it an attractive option for radio access network deployments:
Ericsson has a range of basebands (6630, 6648, 6652, 6672). The sits at the top of the mid-range or the entry point to high-end.
