Azcom Technology provides a carrier grade 5G, 4G, NB-IoT PHY software across different platforms. Modular design, well-defined interfaces and support for different 3GPP and O-RAN functional splits ensure scalability and customization for different use cases and deployment scenario. The PHY software have been fully conformance tested as specified in 3GPP specifications and are also end-to-end tested in a real deployment scenario.
Azcom highly experienced signal processing team has been developing PHY and baseband software for over 25 years for different OEMs and device vendors and has expertise across all the phases of development cycle: systems engineering, algorithms design, modelling and simulation, and implementation on DSPs, FPGAs, vector and general-purpose processors.
PHY software are available either as stand-alone package or pre-integrated with Azcom L2/L3 Stack Software and ported to reference platforms.
