Successful implementation of Radio Access Networks (RANs) predicts the availability and access to ready-to-produce physical layer software (PHY) that manages all major 4G / 5G protocols and features. Traditional silicon retailers offer PHY as reference software, placing the burden on customer development to invest years of operational effort in production. By abstracting this friction with a complete platform solution that includes production-ready 5G PHY software, EdgeQ frees customers from the significant investment, resources, and time typically associated with producing a 4G / 5G PHY stack.

“Traditional market approaches offer core tape processing software and PHY software as separate topics, where the burden of proof lies on customers to produce fully and allow. EdgeQ has the ability and completeness to accelerate the market with a production-grade RAN stack that can also “Customizable and programmable,” said Chris DePuy, a technology analyst at the 650 Group. overall. “

Three years in the making, EdgeQ has partnered with market-leading wireless infrastructure customers to create highly optimized 5G baseband, networks, computing and chip AI pins. By combining highly integrated silicon with ready-to-manufacture 5G PHY software, EdgeQ uniquely enables a seamless operating model in which customers can deploy all key functionalities and critical network access algorithms for radio access, such as beamforming, channel estimation, massive MIMO and eliminating box interference.

For customers who want to create added value in their 5G RAN designs, the EdgeQ PHY layer is fully programmable and extensible. Customers can use an extensible nFAPI interface to add their custom 5G service extensions to target the wide variety of 5G applications spanning Industry 4.0 to campus networks and fixed wireless to macro-class macro cells. As the first in the industry, the EdgeQ 5G platform completely copes with the sore point in the implementation of 5G PHY and MAC software layers, but with an open framework that allows a rich ecosystem of L2 / L3 software partners.

“From day one, EdgeQ has worked tirelessly to redefine the 5G consumption and deployment model with its RISC-V based open architecture that combines connectivity, networking and computing. chipset as a service together is what crystallizes the vision in a devastatingly compelling way, “said Viney Ravuri, CEO and founder of EdgeQ.” Our sampling message today means it’s all a market reality. “
