Napatech, the leading provider of reconfigurable computing platforms, announced a new design win with a US-headquartered provider of analytics for roaming, security, and risk management. Napatech’s SmartNIC hardware and software will be used by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in their signaling firewall to improve the performance, scalability, and security of mobile networks.
Network security vulnerabilities are magnified in 5G networks with more operator types, access points and devices, combined with technologies emerging from edge and cloud computing. As operators begin to roll out 5G connectivity, signaling firewalls play a critical role in securing mobile networks, users, applications, and services that span 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G designs.

Mobile network operators want to scale their firewalls to 100 Gbps, and that is a difficult goal to achieve with software alone. Napatech’s Link SmartNICs include options for 1, 10, 25, 40 and 100 gigabit Ethernet, and are powered by software packed with features to uniquely provide a scalable solution to improve the network and security performance of leading mobile network applications, like signaling firewalls.

This new OEM customer and design win is a validation of our strategy and execution, and recognition that our products are finding new opportunities in our target markets.”
