CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 5 JANUARY 2022 AT 11 AM (EET)

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a joint development agreement with Coast Autonomous Inc. to speed up the development and launch of robotic solutions across the mobile equipment offering.  To emphasise the common long-term interests of the partnership between the companies, Kalmar has become a minority shareholder of Coast Autonomous.

The joint development agreement and investment in Coast Autonomous follows the introduction of Kalmar Robotic Portfolio – a future range of intelligent, flexible and autonomous mobile equipment solutions designed to improve safety, eco-efficiency and productivity of cargo and material handling in ports and terminals, distribution centers and heavy logistics.

Coast Autonomous is an autonomous driving technology start-up based in California, USA, providing mobility solutions to move people and goods in urban and industrial environments. Coast Autonomous has developed a proprietary autonomous vehicle system that includes mapping and localisation, robotics and artificial intelligence, fleet management and supervision. In the initial phase, the partnership between Kalmar and Coast Autonomous will focus on the autonomous driving functionality of the Kalmar RoboTractor – an autonomous terminal tractor.

Lasse Eriksson, Vice President, Technology at Kalmar: “Partnership between Kalmar and Coast Autonomous highlights the importance of collaboration in our industry, especially in the area of robotics. Coast’s unique technology that addresses safety on each level and the broad experience in autonomous driving solutions provides us with a great opportunity to accelerate the robotisation journey and the launch of Kalmar Robotic Portfolio. As safety is the key criteria in everything we do at Kalmar, we are excited about the collaboration with Coast and the opportunity to integrate their safe autonomous driving solutions that will enable autonomous operation in mixed-traffic environments in the future.”

Adrian Sussmann, President and CFO, Coast Autonomous: “Our technologists have been focused, for over twenty years, on developing safe autonomous vehicle systems for pedestrian and industrial environments. The collaboration with Kalmar is the perfect application for our technology and we are excited to integrate our robotic solutions into their best-in-class vehicles, bringing improved safety and efficiency to the market. To work with the market leading OEM in ports and terminal operations is an amazing opportunity and a wonderful endorsement of our unique approach.  We are at the dawn of a new era in robotics and the partnership with Kalmar validates our belief that safe autonomous vehicles will proliferate rapidly in industrial settings providing tremendous benefit and value for all.”

Network Disaggregation Expanded at the Edge: DriveNets Network Cloud Supports Broadcom’s Qumran ASICs Family

Published

on

network-disaggregation-expanded-at-the-edge:-drivenets-network-cloud-supports-broadcom’s-qumran-asics-family

Newly supported whitebox based on Broadcom’s Qumran 2C+ planned for wide deployment by tier-1 providers in network edge use cases
RA’ANANA, Israel, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DriveNets – a leader in innovative networking solutions – today announced its Network Cloud solution now supports whiteboxes based on Broadcom’s Qumran 2C+ ASIC, extending its Network Cloud solution to new service providers’ edge and aggregation use cases. Complementing high-scale Network Cloud-compliant whiteboxes, this new Qumran 2C+-based solution is optimized for mass deployment at the edge of the network, supporting thousands of sites and mobile backhauling with substantial OpEx and CapEx reductions. This further validates the growing adoption and wide deployments of disaggregated network architectures by operators around the world.

DriveNets Network Cloud is a single software solution that supports low- to high-scale use cases from core to edge. The Qumran 2C+ ASIC is part of the Broadcom StrataDNX family and is designed to be used in a standalone configuration (versus a cluster-or-standalone configuration like Broadcom’s Jericho ASIC). Optimized for mass deployment across wide geographies, the new offering allows service providers to standardize on one type of whitebox across tens, hundreds or even thousands of sites, simplifying network operations, supply chain, whitebox sparing and more.
The new Qumran 2C+ ASIC based whitebox supports 40 ports of 100Gbps and 8 ports of 400Gbps with a total capacity of 7.2Tbps in a 2 rack-unit box. Network Cloud solution’s end-to-end network automation and zero-touch provisioning functionality minimize labor overhead.
The solution is available and is already certified by multiple service providers. The first Qumran 2C+ whitebox to be supported by Network Cloud is the S9610-48DX whitebox, an open aggregation router from Ufispace.
“Unlike traditional monolithic routers, the strength of our Network Cloud is that it is ASIC-agnostic, which means it can quickly be adapted to support new hardware and new types of chipsets, and stay on top of technology innovation cycles,” said Hillel Kobrinsky, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder at DriveNets. “This is one of the key benefits of the open, software-based networking solution. Supporting Qumran 2C+ ASIC is a great example of the agility of the Network Cloud model and the fast time to market enabled by its open ecosystem.”
“Moving to a wide-scale disaggregated networks is a growing trend at service providers right now,” said Alan Weckel, founder and technology analyst at 650 Group. “They are transitioning from a traditional network architecture with separate networks for different services to a modern cloud-like network architecture with fewer network layers and hardware elements. By supporting the Qumran 2C+ ASIC, DriveNets is enabling more cost-effective and operationally-efficient hardware options.”
