  • Patent number: 12063502
    Abstract: Systems and methods for PKI certificate and key allocations to wireless base station radio units are provided. In one embodiment, a system for obtaining PKI credentials for a remote unit for a wireless base station, the system comprises: a remote unit, the remote unit configured to implement a radio frequency (RF) interface; a gateway coupled to the remote unit, the gateway communicatively coupled to an online provision service (OPS) certificate authority (CA); wherein the gateway is configured to generate an AuthToken unique to the remote unit, wherein the remote unit is configured to request a RU digital certificate and private key from an OPS CA based on the AuthToken.

  • Patent number: 12010510
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for secure virtualized wireless base station orchestration comprises: obtaining a node certificate and private key from a global CA defining a PKI signing certificate/private key; obtaining a sub CA certificate/private key from either an edge cloud node cluster or the global CA, using a PKI request signed using the PKI signing certificate/private key; establishing an orchestration access IPsec tunnel to a cloud comprising edge cloud orchestration functions; utilizing the orchestration functions to deploy on the node virtualized entities comprising VNFs of a wireless base station; obtaining at least one VNF certificate and private key for the VNFs from the global CA using a PKI request signed using the global certificate/private key; utilizing the VNF certificate/private key, establishing IPsec tunnels between the VNFs and a wireless network services operator network and/or to an OAM secure gateway for a DMS.

  • Patent number: 8836164
    Abstract: A polyphase power management system (PMS) and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the PMS includes: (1) a switching unit having a polyphase mains input with a neutral, a backup power input, a rectifier output and an other loads output, (2) a mains monitor/controller coupled to the switching unit and configured to monitor the polyphase mains input and route various phases of the polyphase mains input or the backup power input to the rectifier output and the other loads output based on the number of phases that are nominal at the polyphase mains input.
