Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI) today announced it has
launched a fully integrated open radio unit (O-RU) reference design
platform that enables radio designers to reduce risk and time to
market. The platform is a complete solution from the optical
fronthaul to RF and allows for hardware and software customization
for macro and small cell radio units (RUs). The platform leverages
industry-leading technologies that drive advanced 4G and 5G RU
requirements and includes support for all sub 6GHz band and power
variants, including multi-band applications.

With the timeline for O-RUs becoming more stringent, and
operator requirements more demanding and complex, RU developer
resources are stretched thin. By leveraging this complete RU
solution with comprehensive collateral resources, designers can
focus on innovation, enabling their companies to compete for more
RU design opportunities.
The ADRV904x-RD O-RU reference design platform includes ADI’s
fifth generation 8T8R RadioVerse® SoC with advanced digital front
end including field proven digital pre-distortion (DPD). ADI’s
fully featured, commercial O-RAN 7.2a IP Stack is hosted on Intel’s
Agilex 7 F-series FPGA, delivering superior performance/watt. The
platform has been tested with Radisys® Layer 2/3 software running
on Intel FlexRan server hardware for 8T8R macro deployment
scenarios.
“The design resources required to complete advanced RU designs
are significant. ADI, together with Intel and Radisys, is enabling
a more robust O-RAN ecosystem by offering a complete RU design
platform with confirmed interoperability. We are pleased to work
together with Intel and Radisys to accelerate Open RAN’s
potential,” said Joe Barry, Vice President of Marketing, Systems
& Technology in the Communication and Cloud Business Unit at
ADI.
“In the radio market, customers need the ability to build
cutting edge systems that fit the dynamic standards we see today.
ADI’s ADRV904x-RD O-RU complements our high performance Agilex 7
F-series FPGA in achieving this goal. Our broad silicon portfolio,
in combination with ADI’s fifth generation 8T8R RadioVerse SoC with
DFE, enables customers to accommodate a broad set of applications
with differentiating feature sets,” said Mike Fitton, VP and GM of
Intel’s Network Business Division.
“Radisys is pleased to continue the collaboration with Intel and
ADI to provide our award winning, Release 17 compliant, Connect RAN
5G software. Ease of integration and performance benchmarking with
this advanced open radio design is an important step towards
unlocking the full potential of Open RAN,” said Munish Chhabra, SVP
and General Manager, Software and Services at Radisys.

interoperability proven platform with fully functional end to end
calls is on display at Mobile World Congress (MWC) within ADI’s
booth (Hall 2, 2B18). For more information, visit ADI's MWC 2023
