Overview
From smartphones to base stations and utility infrastructure – connected cities, workplaces, homes, and vehicles demand intelligent, scalable solutions for wide area networks.
For the designer, this means building ever-more complex wireless SoCs that combine performance and flexibility with scalability and optimized efficiency. Such challenges require the right balance between hardware and software.
This process can be greatly simplified by choosing modem IP Platforms based on a wide variety of scalar and vectors processors, AI acceleration engines, co-processors and hardware accelerator IPs that are optimized for advanced wireless communications applications and that:
- Support different modes of operation and different communication standards
- Integrate powerful vector capabilities alongside general computation engines
- Combine the hardware platform with a wide range of readily available PHY and MAC software IP
- Are backed by advanced support tools with reference platforms, comprehensive simulation environments, and software development kits
target markets
Smartphones, tablets, CPEs, FWA terminals and industrial edge nodes require support for multiple cellular standards and modes, such as 5G-NR (NSA and SA) in both eMBB and URLLC use cases, LTE-A Pro (Gigabit LTE), LTE, and legacy 2G/3G
Flexible and scalable solutions supporting wide range of architecture splits, strong front end processing platform and CPRI/eCPRI processing
Key design challenges include advanced gNB modes, multi-standard operation and support for scalability from Pico and Metro cells to Cloud RAN and Macro DUs
