What is Network in a Box ?
Network in a Box (NIB) is concept that
supports a ready-in-minutes portable
5G SA network solution. all the
hardware and software required to
support 5G stand-alone (SA), non-
stand-alone (NSA) or 4G LTE
operations are integrated into this
single unit. The NIB comes
integrated with a 5G Core, along with
an integrated gNodeB to provide
comprehensive support for voice,
text, video, and packet data services.
Key Deployment scenarios
- Critical networks
- Off Shore Sites
- PPDR
- Private Networks
