1Introduction

1.1 R Class series overview

Falcon-RX

Falcon-RX is a high performance, 5G xHaul Timing Aware O-RAN Switch & PTP Grandmaster. It is a

high capacity, low latency transport and high precision synchronization device that enables 5G RAN

operation at its optimal throughput, on both telecom and enterprise environments.

The Falcon-RX combines the best of breed of the Transport and Timing worlds, in a single powerful

package. Both elements are critical for 5G fronthaul deployments, along with support for the latest

O-RAN architectures and recommendations.

The Falcon-RX is equipped with up to twenty (20) multi-rate 10G SFP+ ports or eight (8) 25G SFP28

ports, based on user configuration. Additionally, one tri-speed Copper management port is included.

All ports can operate at full wire speed, with a total forwarding capacity of 200Gbps.

The system offers advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features including classification and mapping

based on layer 1 through layer 4 attributes, rate limiting, highly flexible scheduling, queuing and

shaping options and MEF defined services.

1.4 Typical Applications

5G Fronthaul & Backhaul Convergence

Evolved mobile networks requires high level of synchronization to operate. The required accuracy

level increases as the networks further evolve, reaching the point the expected time error of

nanoseconds is needed in the 5G Fronthaul. The Falcon-RX ability to provide this level of

synchronization, on top of its line rate Ethernet forwarding, makes it the ideal Fronthaul switch.

Additionally, the Falcon-RX can also provide backhaul connection to complete gNodeB units towards

the 5G Core.

Falcon R-Class | User Guide

IIoT Campus deployment

Modern industrial campuses and factories are being designed to accommodate high level of

automation and mobility in production, which dictates specific requirement for synchronization. In

such environment where, man and machine coexist and work together side by side all actions must

be coordinated and mutually aware. Synchronized packet networks and time sensitive networking

(TSN) are a key element in building these enrolments.
