O-RAN Fronthaul Transport Subsystem

Pre – Integrated IP solution tailored to work together efficiently, thus simplifying the integration into an FPGA or ASIC

O-RAN Fronthaul Transport subsystem is a pre-integrated IP solution for the fronthaul transport of the O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU). The IP cores inside this pre-integrated solution are tailored to work together efficiently, thus simplifying the integration into an FPGA or ASIC.

The packaged IP solution contains Ethernet MAC, PCS, IEEE 1588 PTP and DMA IPs by default, and can optionally be extended with eCPRI IP, MACsec and/or Ethernet switch. A JESD204B or JESD204C IP can also be provided for transporting data between the DFE and RF-FE.

• Delivers Performance
  • HW validated packaged IP solution
  • The pre-integrated IP solution consists of building blocks, which are integrated and tested together.
• Adding Value
  • Reduces customer’s time to market and risk Frees up customer’s strategic resources
• Flexible
  • The IP blocks can be combined in a flexible way to suit customer’s requirements
• Silicon Agnostic
  • Targeting both ASICs and FPGAs

• The IP Core can be delivered in Source code or Encrypted format. The following deliverables will be provided with the IP Core license:
  • Solid documentation, including User Manual and Release Note
