lol ok I don’t subscribe , save your sub money Bid It is they who suck!!
I subscribe to Stockopedia and unfortunately their algorithm still rates Ethernity as a 'Sucker Stock' .. load of nonsense obviously as there isn't really enough for their metric to go on.
In other news, bid is now 16.855 and ask 17.75 so it's gradually shifting north.
Kitlow I am wondering that myself. I think that we'll get the heads up in a update announcement like OEMs are gaining traction and commitment from Telecom and end users looking to scale up their service volume. Or something similar. We may get a round up about OEM contract wins but there will be no numbers until Ethernity report revenue and sales. Maybe David can use Proactive to get the word out about how it's shaping and the leverage Ethernity has.
My feeling is, don't under estimate Ethernity market position.
01234 possibly it could be in response to design requirements but it's the natural progression. We'll see others try to combine functions within one server and increase performance at the same time. However they are not as agile as Ethernity and a big ship takes a long turn.
It wouldn’t be in response to a customer?
TL, how do you see the new flow working on what you just mentioned about third party sales? Trading update, waiting for next 6 months accounts or other? Thanks in advance.
prennie I don't expect 5G contracts. Unless they announce a OEM has a contract and is using Ethernity solutions exclusively. Yes we'll see contract wins for specific functions but much will come through third party sales. As we don't know who they are it's a bit difficult to visualise.
They have the option of a non regulatory release. This is a significant response to new products and new competitors. The industry is starting to see what David saw at IPO.
Yep lovely stuff looks like they are a few steps ahead of everyone. Need a catalyst contract with big numbers and this will be away.
Leapfrog ahead of the products we have seen a couple of the majors release in the last few weeks. Ethernity are broadening the uses for the technology already developed with functional additions that keep them market leaders.
Looks like a great product that will be in high demand.
Not RNS worthy enough though?

Eliminates need for cell site routers, saving physical space, power, and CPU cores
LOD, Israel, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing offload solutions on programmable hardware for accelerating telco/cloud networks, today announced it has developed a solution that both aggregates 5G traffic and provides virtual routing directly within the 5G Distributed Unit (DU). The solution is based on the company's existing ACE-NIC100 FPGA SmartNIC, which offers Ethernity's exclusive Router-on-FPGA-NIC feature.
With many mobile operators planning to employ disaggregated CPU-intensive Network Function Virtualization (NFV) software to handle the primary DU functions, the vast majority of the server's CPU cores will be occupied, leaving no capacity for a virtual router. The addition of an external cell site router (CSR) to the data path increases both capital and operating expenses. Ethernity's solution eliminates the need for a CSR by integrating the virtual routing software with the FPGA SmartNIC within the DU server.
Furthermore, using its six 10G/25G eCPRI ports, a single ACE-NIC100 can aggregate up to 150Gbps of data burst arriving from the 5G Radio Units (RU) toward the DU functions running on the server. The integrated router function then enables connectivity toward the rest of the cloud Radio Access Network (RAN). The ACE-NIC supports all mandatory clock synchronization options for DU (such as Sync-E and IEEE1588) to accurately insert time stamps recovered from the network as backup to the GPS signal. In addition, the ACE-NIC100 offers built-in hardware-based traffic management features, including packet classification, deep buffering with HQoS, and OAM, on top of the router data plane functions like L2/L3 VPN , MPLS, and segment routing.
The ACE-NIC100 offers Ethernity's fully integrated Router-on-FPGA-NIC software capabilities or, alternatively, can integrate and fully offload any 3rd-party vRouter software using standard DPDK APIs.
"By utilizing our vast experience and field-proven router data plane on FPGA with our unique Router-on-FPGA-NIC offering, Ethernity is in a strong leading position to assist and optimize the building of 5G networks," said Oded Bergman, VP of Products and Business Development at Ethernity Networks. "Ethernity's ACE-NIC100 enables software DU solutions to make optimal use of our FPGA SmartNIC capabilities, providing an innovative, cost-effective, high-speed solution that overcomes these challenges and, in the process, supports the trend toward true hardware disaggregation of the 5G infrastructure."
