Always a bit twitchy when you have a company with a unique product. You have to ask yourself why the others have not taken this road. Ethernity have been marketing the router on nic for a while and now it appears that some are seeing the absence of a physical router as the way forward. Certainly the performance is similar in some aspects and the space power savings are large. Also it is adaptable and flexible.
I suspect that we'll see mass adoption and this single innovation will produce multiples of the current cap. The router on nic is a tiny part of a comprehensive end to end solutions suite Ethernity now offer.
Basically Ethernity have now completed the full package and looking forward I expect to just see tweaks and upgrades which will cut R&D spend massively.
David Levi, Ethernity Networks CEO, said: "The order to provide ACE-NICs to a major Chinese operator and the new project kick off demonstrates the further progress of its UPF offering into the Chinese market. Part of their consideration was a requirement to use our Router-on-NIC capability, which delivers innovative offload technology that can connect to any virtualised environment without hardware dependency, which is not currently supported by anyone else in the market. Ethernity is focused on increasing 5G UPF customer engagements now that we have the best-in-class system solutions to address these needs."
