The HFR Networks flexiHaul M6424 TSN Switch is positioned as the industry's first time-sensitive networking (TSN) fronthaul solution providing fiber relief and centralized management in a compact, 1RU, hardened platform with new integrated optics. The M6424 delivers superior economics for xHaul services, plus 5G-compliant timing and synchronization. The M6424 supports Radio over Ethernet (RoE) encapsulation (IEEE 1914.3) as well as TSN (IEEE 802.1cm) for fronthaul, which provides Class “C” master clock distribution.

Judge’s Comment: “I was extremely impressed with this product/system. [It] hits on topics my contacts in the industry have expressed concern over, and this company's product solves or alleviates many of those problems.”
