High-performance 5G mmWave small cell for scalable indoor and venue deployments

The SCRN-520 is an integrated 5G mmWave small cell. The Corning scalable small-cell system, called an enterprise radio access network (E-RAN), simplifies the complexity of radio management and mobility and provides operators with a single touchpoint to aggregate and manage a large network of 5G small cells.

Radio Capabilities
Each SCRN-520 supports 2 x 2 MIMO operation on NR band n261, enabling high user capacity and high data rates per radio node coverage footprint. Each radio node carrier supports 64 active NR users. When used with 4 x 100 MHz channel bandwidth on downlink, a radio node supports a peak downlink rate of 1.8 Gbps and a peak uplink rate of 60 Mbps @ 64QAM. The coverage area for each small cell is approximately 3,500 sq. ft.

Easy to Install
Corning radio nodes can be installed on walls or ceilings. Both network connectivity and power are provided via Corning  ActiFi  fiber/copper composite cable. Antennas are built in for Band n261.

Secure
SCRN-520 utilizes on-chip trusted platform module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and establish certificate-based connection to CU (Centralized Unit). There is no management or console port on the radio node, and the radio node can be physically locked to prevent theft.
