BRIDGING THE COVERAGE GAP WITH
FWA VIA OPEN RAN
Radisys has made considerable strides in its
goal of bridging the coverage gap through
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) enabled by
Open RAN. The company has recently
attained data rates of over 2Gbps, integrating
their 3GPP Release-16 compliant Connect
RAN FR2 standalone (SA) RAN solution with
the Qualcomm® FSM™100 5G RAN Platform.
Radisys' advanced solution harnesses the
power of mmWave features, specifically
beamforming and carrier aggregation,
providing high-capacity solutions for FWA,
private 5G, and industrial market segments.
With the integration of Qualcomm FSM100
baseband and advanced mmWave Radio
capabilities, Radisys' FR2 SA RAN software
can offer high throughput and low footprint
solutions. These are ideal for enhancing
mobile broadband services in FWA and
private 5G deployments.
The Connect RAN FR2 SA 5G solution from
Radisys is feature-rich and offers complete
interoperability and comprehensive
manageability support. This combination is
instrumental in facilitating the deployment of
small cells across a variety of verticals, which
in turn reduces operational and capital
expenses, as well as time-to-market.
Furthermore, Radisys also extends its 5G FR1
solution, which supports concurrent
standalone and non-standalone operations, to
the Qualcomm FSM100 and Qualcomm
FSM200 platforms.
In an attempt to enhance its mmWave RAN
solution on Qualcomm FSM100, Radisys
has introduced FR2 SA capabilities to its
existing FR2 NSA offering. This solution is
compact and robust, supporting between
128 and 256 subscribers.
Moreover, it delivers an impressive peak
TCP/UDP throughput of 2.2 Gbps when
integrated with the Qualcomm FSM100
baseband and the QTM 2T2R mmWave
radio. The solution has been rigorously
tested with a variety of commercial CPEs
and various modems on the widely
available FR2 bands.
The FR2 SA solution also comes equipped
with beamforming, network slicing, QoS,
robust cryptography, and low latency
features, making it an optimal fit for
private 5G and industrial use cases.
It also provides comprehensive FCAPS,
simplifying integration with legacy ACS
and new ORAN O1-based Management
Systems. Radisys also plans to evolve this
solution further to support higher
capacities and data rates by leveraging
carrier aggregation across 10 carriers with
a total bandwidth of 1000 MHz on the
Qualcomm FSM200 platform.
