At MWC 2025, HPE continues to demonstrate its leadership in helping telecommunications providers build next-generation networks to maximize AI opportunities, while also supporting the growth and success of open RAN technology and providing the infrastructure of choice for telecommunications providers worldwide.
So, let's find out what technologies and solutions were introduced.
The future depends on precise and accurate timing.
“There is a saying, ”Time is gold.”.
From detecting and tracking fraudulent stock trading activity to actively monitoring autonomous vehicles to prevent accidents, critical operations and processes across all industries depend on accurate and precise timing. Failure to maintain accurate time synchronization can negatively impact interdependent systems and processes, degrading service quality, degrading user experiences, and increasing cybersecurity risks.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) can only provide millisecond-level timing and is prone to inconsistencies and delays.
For the most accurate and precise timing, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used in distributed networks. Nanosecond-level precisionSynchronize your clock with .
PTP has long been an essential component of carrier and P5G networks.
However, it is now becoming increasingly important for enterprises with new business requirements such as AI inference, 5G quality of service, video broadcasting, and other latency-sensitive applications.
The Beginning of Innovation: Embedding Precision Timing into Network Fabrics
Introducing the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325P Switch Series, an innovative solution that embeds precision timing into the network fabric!
This new switch delivers streamlined operations and nanosecond accuracy for mission-critical Gen AI, P5G, telco C-RAN, and HPE GreenLake private cloud deployments.
You no longer need to rely on third-party point timing servers (services) or carrier-designed routers.
Embedding PTP directly into your network infrastructure simplifies deployment and operations.
It is also a powerful alternative for synchronizing timing across devices, including computing and storage, and ensuring a smooth roaming experience for latency-sensitive cellular traffic.
The new HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325P Series Switches deliver:
- Nanosecond-precise timing accuracy for high-performance computing, workloads, and time-sensitive applications.
- You can enjoy control over your network and security operations and IT design sovereignty, without having to rely on third-party point-of-sale servers (services) or carrier-designed routers, and the benefits of using a secure private network instead of the public Internet.
- It provides a seamlessly integrated, single operating environment from campus to branch, data center, wired and wireless, switching, 5G small cells, and private 5G core.
Some CX switches offer an industry-first end-to-end architecture that embeds precision timing into the network fabric.
Additionally, this switch supports a wide range of use cases across key industries, from the edge to the data center and cloud:
- Financial sector: Real-time transaction monitoring
- manufacturing: Coordination of complex assembly processes, rapid inventory management via warehouse robots, and logistics for supply chain efficiency.
- Private 5G: Deterministic coverage and high-speed mobility (e.g., autonomous vehicles)
- medical treatment: Real-time patient monitoring and notification system
- Media & Entertainment: Ensures audio/video synchronization when streaming
- Government (Public): Manage time-critical military missions.
Precision timing plays a critical role in ensuring data consistency, real-time video synchronization, and the reliability of cloud and AI data centers.
That is, it is no longer an optional feature, but a required one.
“Private cellular networking holds great potential for enabling innovative enterprise use cases, including transportation and logistics. However, many of these applications, including supporting modern AI workloads, rely on nanosecond-precision timing and ultra-low latency profiles.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325P Switch is designed to address these challenges by integrating carrier-grade timing into the network fabric, while providing a single operating system to facilitate cross-domain management at the network edge.”
