5g baseband platform IP

Ceva’s third-generation PentaG platform is a production-ready 5G-Advanced modem IP architecture that integrates baseband hardware, L1 PHY software, and comprehensive verification assets into a single reusable subsystem.
Compared with the previous generation, the third-generation PentaG platform delivers substantial improvements in performance, scalability, and integration efficiency across both satellite and terrestrial deployments.

The Ceva-PentaG RAN platform is a modular, optimized hardware and software IP for implementing L1 PHY baseband processing in 5G base station and other cellular infrastructure SoCs.
Employing Ceva’s highest-performance DSP cores and dedicated hardware accelerators teamed with optimized software, the Ceva-PentaG RAN platform is in use by 5G industry incumbents, and can substantially reduce development time and risk for new entrants.

It is unheard unusual for earlier Gs to use a software-based approach. So far, it has been hard to reconfigure existing 2G and 3G radios to accommodate newer communication protocols like 4G and, eventually, 5G. Our solution is built for open interoperability, with a GPP-based baseband processing platform, radio hardware, software, and a streamlined business model that supports ALL existing and future Gs for a better, unified service to end-users at a considerably reduced TCO for mobile operators.
Faststream’s software platform, which separates hardware and software, helps mobile operators extend and modernize existing legacy networks to accommodate subscribers across all Generations technologies. Faststream’s Open vRAN solution includes a COTS vBBU, an OpenRAN-based RRU, as well as an OpenRAN Controller and network software package.
Mobile operators may replace obsolete Generations systems with our OpenRAN Hardware
Faststream vBBU is equipped with the future-proof architecture of DU and CU, which is installed at the network’s edge
