Onyx RAN Specification

The GXC Radio Access Network (RAN) software delivers a 3GPP-compliant, high-performance 4G and 5G solution for secure private cellular networks. Fully integrated with the Onyx Edge platform, it enables scalable, low-latency wireless connectivity for diverse enterprise and industrial environments.

4G

Fully integrated with Onyx Edge and Onyx Portal
3GPP-compliant RAN stack with Uu and S1 interfaces
TR-069-based remote management interface
SAS integration via Domain Proxy
GNSS and PTP time synchronization mode support
QoS-aware Scheduler
Link adaptation support
MME pooling support with UE load balancing across pooled MMEs
CBRS n48 frequency band support
Carrier modes Single Carrier (SC): 1 cell per AP; up to 96 UE per AP Dual Carrier (DC): 2 cells per AP; up to 96 + 96 UE per AP Carrier Aggregation (CA): Combines carriers for enhanced throughput
Radio configuration (via Onyx Portal) Configurable bandwidth, transmit power, and center frequency (SAS dependent) Bandwidth configuration: Up to 40 MHz for CA, and 20 MHz for SC, per cell in DC Subframe distribution configuration – DL/UL distribution Frame structure options: SA1, SA2, SA6 SSF configuration (SSF5/SSF7) for extended radio range
Mobility and handovers UE-assisted Automatic Neighbor Relations (ANR) management Intra-Onyx Edge handovers across APs
Mesh Node and backhaul Multi-hop LTE relay support for extended range: Tunnels traffic to the Onyx Edge through one or more LTE APs in the path Operates on the same CBRS band for both access and backhaul Utilizes FCC-certified CPE as a SAS CBSD for high-power transmission Secure management interface for FCAPS operations
Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Multi-antenna coverage extension for large indoor and enterprise environments SAS integration via CBSD groups
Security features IPSec support for secure backhaul 3GPP-compliant ciphering and integrity protection over Air interface
