SAN JOSE, Calif. and
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable secure and intelligent processing for enterprise, data
center, wired and wireless networking announced that it has
joined the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), an initiative founded
by Facebook, SK Telecom, Deutsche Telekom and others, that
encourages the adoption of an open approach to global networks. As
part of an ongoing commitment to support advances in telecom
infrastructure networks, Cavium will contribute key wireless
access technologies to TIP's OpenCellular project group in order to
address the demand for faster, more agile networks around the
globe.
Cavium will contribute and support the design of a complete,
production-ready hardware design for a single sector LTE 2T2R MIMO
(64/128 user) for OpenCellular in the second half of 2017. The
design will be based on the OCTEON Fusion CNF7130 baseband
processor, and will also have the associated end-to-end L1 to L3
software stack, ensuring easy and predictable deployment.
Cavium will also provide open source access to certain APIs
to allow the community to further enhance and expand the
capabilities of the LTE cell. Additional software contributions of
open APIs for the transport layer and timing synchronization are
also planned. Cavium will continue to offer its direct licensees
the ability to provide highly differentiated LTE basestation
solutions based on the same processor technology. Cavium will
continue the contribution and community support effort via its
latest OCTEON Fusion-M four sector 8T8R, multimode (GSM/WCDMA/LTE)
CNF7330 processor and reference design, capable of supporting 512
to 1024 users. This state-of-the-art device supports advanced
features compliant with 3GPP releases 12 and 13, and provides an
excellent platform for dense deployments. In addition, Cavium will,
provide open source access to various NFV and 5G APIs to allow the
community to further broaden its reach into new areas.
"We welcome Cavium's membership and contribution to the Telecom
Infra Project. The combination of their hardware designs, open APIs
and robust software offering provides a near market ready solution
to the TIP community," said Dr. Alex
Jinsung Choi, CTO of SK Telecom and TIP Chairman. "We
look forward to working with the community to deploy these exciting
technologies for LTE, LTE-A and eventually 5G."
"We share TIP's vision of open, connected telecom
infrastructure with universal access," said Raj Singh, Vice
President & General Manager, Network & Communication Group
at Cavium. "OCTEON Fusion-M baseband processors are extensively
deployed in advanced carrier networks and are field proven designs.
We believe our contribution will help propagate advanced wireless
telecom technologies to the broader community allowing for new and
exciting innovations in the industry."
The Facebook/TIP Open Cellular LTE implementation is being
demonstrated on the Cavium booth at Mobile World Congress in Hall2
