Radisys Corporation has announced availability of its 3GPP Release-17 compliant Connect RAN (radio access network) 5G FR1 software solution on Qualcomm FSM200 5G RAN platform (FSM200xx), with advanced SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) features including support for multiple bands including CBRS (citizens broadband radio service) bands and high data throughput. Radisys’ Connect RAN FR1 solution bridges gap in availability of a multi-carrier 4T4R RAN solutions for outdoor small cell and compact macro industry segments.
Along with Qualcomm FSM200xx baseband and advanced high-power radio capabilities, Connect RAN 5G FR1 solution offers small cell design with low compute and memory requirements for high capacity and throughput. This solution has a ready-to-deploy feature set and can help customers address mobile network operators’ (MNOs) requirements for compact macro and private 5G, enterprise, fixed wireless access (FWA) and industry 4.0 requirements with small cell solutions to reduce their time-to-deployment and capital and operating expenses.
Highlights
- Radisys has small cell software portfolio for both Sub6 and mmWave solutions based on Qualcomm FSM100 5G RAN Platform (FSM100xx).
- Its recent Connect RAN 5G software release introduces additions to this portfolio for high capacity, high performance small cell/compact macro supporting concurrent SA and NSA deployment modes for both outdoor and indoor environments based on Qualcomm FSM200xx baseband.
- Radisys’ FR1 solution, integrated with FSM200xx baseband and radio, is optimised with CU, DU software on a single ARM (advanced RISC machine) processor that leverages on-chip accelerators to provide peak performance. The solution can be deployed as an all-in-one or with 3GPP standard Option-2 CU-DU split with flexible packaging options.
- The solution supports 256+ subscribers, multi-carrier aggregation in various bandwidth combinations with 4T4R configuration and delivers advanced features like Neutral Host MOCN (multi-operator core networks) and CBRS and is tested and interoperable with a variety of commercial UEs and CPEs (customer premises equipments).
- The solution provides complete FCAPS (fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security) for manageability with TR-069 / TR-196 and NETCONF (the network configuration protocol) / ORAN (open radio access network)O1. This is designed to enable ease of integration with both legacy ACS (access control system) and ORAN management systems.
- Radisys’ collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies supports advanced Release-16 and Release-17 features like eURLLC (ultra-reliable low-latency communication), NR (new radio) positioning and NR-U on Qualcomm FSM200 5G RAN platform.
“Radisys is pleased to extend its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to launch this advanced first-to-market multi-carrier, high capacity, high throughput solution. This solution makes the advanced features of Radisys 5G RAN Small Cell software with the Qualcomm FSM200 5G RAN Platform baseband widely available and enables our customers to accelerate deployments of next-generation small cell and compact macro solutions with differentiated services and deployment options.” says Munish Chhabra, senior vice president and general manager, software and services at Radisys.
“Qualcomm Technologies’ ongoing collaboration with Radisys continues to deliver innovative solutions that meet the power, cost and size requirements for indoor and outdoor deployments. The integration of Connect RAN 5G FR1 software solution on the Qualcomm FSM200 5G RAN Platform provides OEMs and operators with the flexibility to deploy next-generation indoor and outdoor small cell networks at scale for a growing number of Industry 4.0 use cases.” says Gerardo Giaretta, vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
