This innovative PCIe card leverages the unique performance of Xilinx's third-generation RFSoC to cover the entire sub-6 gigahertz spectrum essential for applications such as 5G, LTE wireless, phased array radar, and satellite communications.
FPGAs are widely used in embedded applications such as real-time data acquisition, filtering, and signal processing. These passively cooled PCIe cards offer single- and double-width cooling options. These acquisition cards leverage the unique capabilities of Xilinx's RFSoC devices to easily integrate into customers' servers and edge platforms.
“Our Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC devices provide a multi-channel data conversion and processing solution in a single chip,” said David Brubaker, group manager, Wired and Wireless, Xilinx. “The introduction of BittWare’s easy-to-install PCIe card will accelerate the design and development of next-generation wireless systems by fully covering the 6GHz spectrum band.”

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
