Ethernity Networks Ltd (AIM:ENET) announced it has signed a contract with a wireless original equipment manufacturer (OEM) based in Europe.
The group will supply its ENET 4840 40Gbps FPGA System-on-Chip (SoC) with support for Carrier Ethernet Switching, Wireless Bonding, and IPSec security.

The ENET 4840 is a customised version of the device that is used within the UEP-20 Universal Edge Platform product design, which will also be supplied to the OEM for manufacturing.
The initial committed order within the contract is worth around US$400,000, with the majority of the revenue coming in 2022 and with additional orders anticipated thereafter.
The IT group said it will provide the customer with its ENET 4840 SoC with silicon-tuned software, which, thanks to the efficiency of the ENET Flow Processor design, fits into low-cost FPGAs that are capable of meeting prices of mass production and allows up to 40Gbps of throughput.
The SoC will also come pre-programmed with the IPSec security feature and Ethernity's newly patented Wireless Bonding feature, which uses load balancing to enable the transmission of a single data flow along multiple wireless streams without the need for point-to-point connection.
"This is further confirmation from the marketplace that our Universal Edge Platform (UEP) platform with integrated bonding is an attractive offering,” said Ethernity chief executive David Levi.
“We are confident that it will continue to sell well among wireless connectivity vendors within the 5G backhaul and midhaul market."
