Wireless platform for new 5G network design,
ADI software defined transducer and
Intel Arria A10 FPGA to be integrated


Analog Devices (ADI) announced on the 14th that it is collaborating with Intel to develop a wireless platform for 5G network design.

As network data traffic continues to grow, many telecom operators are exploring ways to cost-effectively implement new solutions that can increase the capacity, performance, and reliability of 5G networks, while also reducing development time.

The wireless platform to be developed will combine ADI's RF transceiver technology with Intel's low-power FPGA technology, and will also provide a new set of design tools to enable developers to more easily implement optimized 5G solutions.

The new solution, which is compatible with the 5G network standard, Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), will integrate ADI's software-defined transceiver supporting digital front-end (DFE) functions with Intel's Arria A10 FPGA, enabling a flexible architecture, officials said.
