Analog Devices builds radio for for 5G O-RAN
 

Could be a little disruptive

Analog Devices has developed an ASIC-based radio platform for O-RAN compliant 5G radio units designed to meet the evolving needs of 5G networks.

For those who came in late the O-RAN ecosystem use open standards to disaggregate the traditional network and allow greater flexibility and additional features across carrier networks.

What ADI has come up with is a radio platform that includes all the core functionality needed in an O-RAN compliant 5G radio unit, including a baseband ASIC, software-defined transceivers, signal processing, and power.

This will allow performance and form factor improvements to address the critical power consumption and cost challenges of next-generation networks while reducing customers’ design cycles.
