The Ericsson GEP5-1200, part number ROJ 208 842/5, is an x86-based general processing board developed by Ericsson for the Ericsson Blade System (EBS). GEP5 stands for Generic Ericsson Processor 5 and represents the fifth generation of Ericsson's GEP processor-board family.
The GEP5-1200 is designed for high-performance telecom processing applications and is used as a processing/server board within Ericsson network and telecom platforms, including APG43/3 architecture. The board integrates the processor, system memory, high-speed Ethernet connectivity and local solid-state storage directly on the processor board. Ericsson documentation specifically identifies ROJ 208 842/5 as the GEP5-1200 board.
The documented configuration uses a 64-bit 10-core Intel Xeon E5-2658 v2 processor operating at 2.40 GHz, 48 GB of system memory and approximately 1.2 TB of SSD storage. The board provides both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for high-speed telecom system communication.
The exact R1E revision is also listed by telecom equipment suppliers under the designation ROJ208842/5R1E and as an Ericsson Network Server.
