Frost & Sullivan applies a rigorous analytical process to evaluate multiple nominees for each award category before determining the final award recipient. The process involves a detailed evaluation of best practices criteria across two dimensions for each nominated company. GXC excels in many of the criteria in the 5G private network space.
As enterprises increase their utilization of wirelessly-enabled devices for business critical connectivity, they require robust and cost-effective network management solutions capable of supporting large device capacities, seamless connectivity, and a simplistic deployment process. To increase spectral efficiency and support the increase of network traffic, the Federal Communications Commission established the Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS). CBRS operates in the 3.5 GigaHertz radio band, enabling nationwide spectrum sharing and providing 150 MegaHertz of untapped capacity expansion, avoiding the complexities and limitations of unlicensed spectrum. The higher power limits and radio frequencies of CBRS enable extended range and reliability, providing ample opportunities for sophisticated enterprise deployments in both indoor and outdoor environments. More importantly, Frost & Sullivan believes CBRS provides an immediate “bridge to fifth-generation wireless (5G)” by enabling the efficient deployment of additional network capacity to support innovative wireless services and use cases at lower fixed costs.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, GXC, Inc. (GXC) is a developer of innovative, meshbased end-to-end private 5G network solutions. The company utilizes CBRS spectrum to support end-toend private 5G cellular network connectivity solutions for enterprises. Its cloud-based GXC Onyx platform is quick to deploy and provides a single source for private network management and configuration of all hardware, policies, parameters, and settings, enabling a diverse range of innovative use cases across industry verticals.
GXC leverages CBRS spectrum to provide enterprises with secure access to 5G private cellular connectivity and mitigates reliance on WiFi. Frost & Sullivan believes GXC’s unique, cellular mesh architecture is particularly well suited for industries such as defense, industrial and smart manufacturing, education (campuses), entertainment (sporting venues), healthcare (hospitals), agriculture, warehouse and logistics, and transportation (airports and marine terminals). The company’s clients leverage the GXC platform to enable a variety of innovative applications, including robotics, point-of-sale terminals, tablets, inventory scanners, and augmented-, virtual-, and mixed-reality. Frost & Sullivan’s research recognizes these industries as high-growth opportunities for 5G networking and anticipates GXC’s market share to grow significantly in the coming years.
GXC recognizes the complementary nature but also the limitations of WiFi networks, including limited coverage, interference, unsecured access, unpredictable latency, and limited device deployment. Thus, the company ensures its GXC Onyx platform addresses customers’ unmet needs as technologies advance and market demands evolve. GXC’s approach to deploying private cellular networks is based on its proprietary Simultaneous Self Interference Cancellation technology that enables a cellular mesh architecture that links each device’s access point (e.g., routers, laptops) to one another for seamless, enterprise-wide connectivity. The unique mesh architecture allows GXC to deploy private networks in a single frequency band, eliminating the need for costly fiber or cable connections. Moreover, the mesh orchestration software enables “multi-hopping,” which enhances cellular coverage and network capacity.
The comprehensive GXC Onyx platform includes a strong service and application stack, including a local core, Onyx services, Onyx edge orchestration, a policy/identity manager, network security suite, local data breakout, edge and cloud computing, and edge application server. Clients also have access to a local and cloud-hosted Onyx portal that provides centralized visibility for system administrators on a single pane of glass. The platform integrates seamlessly and is collocated with existing enterprise infrastructure. Collocations provide local compute, applications, and data access, giving clients complete data ownership. The Onyx Platform’s cloud core operates on a hybrid cloud infrastructure, providing access to the Onyx Portal, device manager, data orchestration services, spectrum allocation services, and network-on-chip interconnects. GXC’s Onyx platform is Third Generation Partnership Project compatible and connects fourth-generation Long Term Evolution and 5G new radio end-devices.
