北京2021年3月26日 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI)今日推出一款基于ASIC的無線電平臺，該平臺針對符合O-RAN規(guī)范的5G無線電單元而設計，旨在縮短上市時間，并滿足5G網(wǎng)絡不斷發(fā)展的需求。O-RAN生態(tài)系統(tǒng)使用開放標準來分解傳統(tǒng)網(wǎng)絡，支持跨運營商網(wǎng)絡的更大靈活性和更多功能。
ADI的無線電平臺包含O-RAN兼容5G無線電單元所需的所有核心功能，包括基帶ASIC、軟件定義收發(fā)器、信號處理和電源。這款先進的無線電平臺旨在顯著提升性能和改進外形尺寸，以應對下一代網(wǎng)絡將面臨的功耗和成本方面的嚴峻挑戰(zhàn)，同時縮短客戶的設計周期。
ADI公司無線通信事業(yè)部副總裁Joe Barry表示：“O-RAN采用開放標準重新構思網(wǎng)絡結構，希望以此打破傳統(tǒng)市場，而這需要全面創(chuàng)新的射頻解決方案。ADI的創(chuàng)新O-RAN解決方案為5G應用提供了性能優(yōu)化的無線電平臺，標志著生態(tài)系統(tǒng)向前邁出了一大步。”
O-RAN將逐步消除進入壁壘，為當前和新興的無線供應商提供新的契機。ADI直接與生態(tài)系統(tǒng)參與者交互合作，以優(yōu)化總體系統(tǒng)效率，確保互操作性，進一步提升行業(yè)技術水平。
“向市場推出low-PHY基帶ASIC讓我們向O-RAN邁進了一大步。現(xiàn)在，原始設備制造商在打造有競爭力的宏蜂窩和小蜂窩的系統(tǒng)上有了清晰的路徑”，沃達豐集團（Vodafone Group）的O-RAN RF和數(shù)字平臺開發(fā)經(jīng)理Andy Dunkin表示，“正是這樣的舉措有助于構建健康的生態(tài)系統(tǒng) ”。
ADI公司的平臺有助于無線電設計人員和制造商針對宏蜂窩和小蜂窩解決方案優(yōu)化總體系統(tǒng)性能。設計人員借助參考設計，采用以下各項產(chǎn)品方案即可創(chuàng)建符合O-RAN規(guī)范的無線電單元：
Parallel Wireless公司首席執(zhí)行官Steve Papa表示：“為消除O-RAN生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的進入壁壘，ADI公司一直努力為眾多無線供應商提供全新級別的支持，我們?yōu)榇松钍芄奈琛＿@款解決方案將會加速Option 7.2功能劃分的標準化，簡化互操作性集成。”
各技術評估平臺將于今年晚些時候面世。
