Dell launches outdoor server for Cloud RAN and edge AI, the first liquid-cooled outdoor server

The device adopts closed-loop liquid cooling technology, achieving high-performance heat dissipation in a compact space of only 15 liters (about the size of a backpack), without the need for a traditional data center environment. Equipped with the latest Intel Xeon 6 SoC and integrated vRAN acceleration technology, a single server can support up to 15 5G sectors. It is expected to be officially launched globally in the second half of 2026. Rakuten Mobile in Japan has already planned to deploy this server across its nationwide network, utilizing it to handle 5G signals and edge artificial intelligence (AI) tasks.
