The Azcom Technology 5G Radio Unit (RU) is a compact, lightweight solution making use of the latest high-performance Radio Transceivers and advanced Analog Front End devices. The system also supports LTE and NB-IoT. The system has been developed completely in-house including key SW and FPGA blocks like the L1 Low-PHY Software, UL/DL O-RAN Fronthaul bridges, DFE Chains (DUC, DDC, CFR, beamforming), Platform Software and M-plane framework. This permits efficient support and customization without any third-party dependency.
The hardware design, along with the software and FPGA blocks, is also available for licensing. This allows customers to leverage our proven platform as a reference for their own tailored product development, ensuring a significant reduction in cost and development time line.
