Product Update: New Hardware Revision of NXS-9700-5G (Rev.5)

We are pleased to announce the introduction of a new hardware revision of our NXS-9700-5G device Revision 5 (Rev.5). This updated hardware platform will replace the previous Revision 4 (Rev.4) in regular production.

Why the Change?

The introduction of Rev.5 is driven by component availability constraints related to parts previously used in the Rev.4 production process. To ensure product continuity, long‑term availability, and supply chain stability, we have updated selected hardware components while maintaining full product functionality.

What’s New in Rev.5?

The new hardware revision includes the following updates:
 
  1. New 5G radio module compliant with 3GPP Release 17
  2. Updated antenna configuration: 2x omnidirectional antennas replacing the previous MIMO antenna
  3. Newer Linux kernel version: Linux 6.12

Compatibility and Functionality

The changes introduced in Rev.5 are minor from a user and system perspective. Both Rev.4 and Rev.5 platforms are fully compatible and functionally equivalent, ensuring the same features, performance, and supported use cases. No software or configuration changes are required when migrating from Rev.4 to Rev.5.

Availability

Starting April 2, 2026, all new orders of NXS-9700-5G devices will be fulfilled with the Rev.5 hardware revision.

Customers do not need to take any action, the transition will happen automatically as part of our standard production procesd.
