InterDigital’s EdgeLink (mmW Mesh Transport) is a wireless 5G solution that can deliver high capacity links with very low latency. It is capable of multiplexing packetized Fronthaul and Backhaul traffic on a unified network under the control of Software Defined Networking (SDN) mesh controller over long range mmW links using high gain fixed antennas installed with Edgelink nodes . The system can be installed indoor or outdoor to provide network connectivity over an unlicensed 60 GHz data link.
EdgeLink requires the presence of nodes linked in a mesh network, a mesh controller (based on ONOS), and an orchestrator.
- Clone the EdgeLink repo
git clone https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/EdgeLink.git
This step creates the EdgeLink directory and all the installation steps assume this directory as the base directory. - Setup runtime environment(Ubuntu/Java)
- Install and Configure mesh controller
- Install and Configure orchestrator
- Start mesh controller
- Start orchestrator
