Descrizione del progetto
Migliore copertura mobile con un nuovo chip
La transizione in corso verso la tecnologia di rete di accesso radio virtualizzata ha fatto nascere l’esigenza di nuove soluzioni di comunicazione 5G. Per soddisfare la crescente domanda di elevate capacità 5G, è necessario migliorare la copertura mobile all’interno delle case. Un obiettivo che potrebbe essere raggiunto utilizzando terminali radio remoti (terminal radio head, RRH) che funzionano su più bande di frequenza. Il progetto Siklu, finanziato dall’UE, sta sviluppando un chip radio definito da software (software-defined radio, SDR) per RRH che supporta più canali di frequenza e che passa da frequenze inferiori a 6 GHz a onde millimetriche. Assicurando flessibilità e scalabilità future, il chip SDR sostituisce oltre 10 chip esistenti e riduce i costi dell’80 %. Il progetto offre una soluzione flessibile, ottimizzata ed economica per migliorare le comunicazioni mobili al chiuso e all’aperto.
Obiettivo
In order to meet the demanding needs of the high 5G capabilities, massive indoor deployment is needed for cellular coverage. This is achieved through Remote Radio Heads (RRH) working at multiple frequency bands – a key component of the 5G infrastructure market (~$10B by 2023). With the ongoing transition to V-RAN (cloud) based network architecture, there is a strong need for new flexible, optimized and cost-effective solutions that will enable the eco-system with sustainable business cases and ROI.
To meet this need, Siklu is developing a Software Defined Radio (SDR) Chip for RRH that supports multiple frequency channels and ranges from Sub-6GHz to millimetre waves (mmWave). This highly integrated chip replaces more than 10 existing chips, cuts cost by 80%, and provides future flexibility and scalability, disrupting price and performance for indoor and outdoor RRH at any combination of mmWave, sub 6GHz frequencies and channel bandwidths. This game changer chip is based on Siklu’s unique, patent pending architecture.
Siklu will utilize the 5G SDR chip for RRH for its internal portfolio of products, as well as sell the chipset, reference design and firmware / software to ODM / OEM building variety of indoor / outdoor products and solutions. The 5G SDR RRH will be developed in close alignment with lead customers and partners, who will be the first customers for a rapid volume ramp-up. Participation in o-RAN and other eco-system forums will help to accelerate the adoption and deployment of this technology.
During phase one of this project, Siklu will complete analysis of both the technological feasibility and economic viability of 5G SDR RRH product, based on extensive market validation process. The purpose of this validation process is to assess all technical and business aspects and conclude the final requirements and specs of this disruptive technology / product with a viable business opportunity, including a strong EU perspective.
